PLUCKY OLD LADY.
Fights in Court for Return of
Money Loaned on Town
ship Bonds.

Miller. April 10 Eighty-nine years
old, mind clear and body active, Mrs
Catherine Dring will drive in neSt
week twenty miles over the bleak
prairies to testify i'm court against ST
Lawrence township in an action to col
lect $500 principal and interest from
that town. With her husband she
loaned the township 5000 in 1888.
After issuing the bonds the interest was
kept up pretty well until two years
ago. when by the discovery of some
technicality the town and the township
got to iawlng over the matter and both
refused to pay the aged widow either
principal or interest. Suit was then
started before Judge Gaffy, and he took
the case from the jury and awarded the
old lady part of the amount. The
case was then appealed to the next
term of court before Judge Boucher,
and he also took the case from the Jnry
and decided it against the aged plain
tiff. So this makes the third time that
she will ask the law to give her back
the money that she had saved during
life of hard work and loaned to the
township and town in the hoI Q that
the interest would keep her in her de-
clining years. She is very poor. and
lives with son. Hearing that her
English fighting blood was boiling ard
that she intended to bring another suit
an agent of the town went to her last
winter and offered her 81 600 as a com
promise if she would drop it. With
much Indignation she spurned the offer,
telling the agent that she would fight
for her rights to the last ditch rather
than accept such paltry sum. She
now brings the suit for money had and
received. J. FL. Cole is attorney for
the aged woman, while Col. Bob
Stewart and John Pusey are for the
township.
