At Justice court held last Friday
c. 81. Crane and F. FL. Mcfarland
were the contestants. The suit was
to recover the value of some mileage
books, some $2S, which Mcfarland
claimed had been left in Cranes
hands and were not accounted for.
Mcfarland is a dealer in mileage
books and formerly boarded at the
Phoenix. He left books at the Pie
nix office and they were let out there.
Crane admitted all this, but denied
that he was responsible for them;
says he had informed Mcfarland
that he would not be holden for
them, but that he simply allowed
them to be at the Office as an accom-
mediation to the owner. When Mr..
Mcfarland left the hotel a few
months ago. there was an unsettled
account of some $35. From this,
Mac deducted the value of the mile
ages not accounted for and rendered
check for Sc to balance. Crane re.
fused to accept, saying there we're
$35 in full due him; hence the suit.
At two O'Clock court opened with
Squire Wiswell on the bench, R. W.
Hulburd attorney for Crane, McFar-
land pro Sc, and the following jury in
charge of Sheriff Robbins: W. c.
Maxield, W. N. Putnam, R. P. Put
nam, L. Fl. Noyes, c. E. DEMO and
Perry Foster. A couple of hours
were used in trying the case. Several
witnesses were examined and strenu-
GUS pleas made by the. lawyers. The
case then went to the jury, who in a
few minutes returned a verdict for
Crane. There were number of spec
tators and the entire proceedings
we're full of interest.
