AGAINST SMITH

JUSTICE COURT
Plaintiff Found Guilty of
Contributory Negligence
and Had No License.

Because the court found that Dr. J.

negligence in running his car too
close to the one operated by DR. r. w
Smith. and because he had no license
to drive a car in the state, the case
the former had instituted against the
latter for breaking Il light from his
machine was dismissed in the justice
court this morning. Fales claimed that
Smith wilfully backed his auto into
the one belonging to him, breaking
light and damaging the machine to the
extent of $25.
The answer in defense to the suit
instituted by Dr. ]. Ellery Fales against
DR.. r. w. Smith for damages amount

plaintiff was guilty of contributory
negligence in that he had driven his
