The case of Gibbons against Kelly
was one of more than ordinary inter
est, and the face remarkable. Mr.
and Mrs. John Kelly came to Inwood
from Ft. Wayne in 1888, and soon
after that time Mrs. Kelly died. In
the spring OF 1889 John Kelty agreed
with Oregon Gibbons that if he would
care for him during his life, pay all
taxes on his property, consisting of
a house and lot and 38 acres at In
wood house and lot in Plymouth
give him decent burial at death
Kelly owuld give Mr.. Gibbons all his
property. Kelly died in 1902, July q
Ever since 1889 Mr.. Gibbons had lived
in the Kelly property at Inwood
Mr.. Kelly making his home with the
family and being cared for according
to the contract.
At the death of Kelly Mr. Gibbons
took out administration on his estat
and settled up the affairs, there being
no personal property. After this long
a time the Kelly heirs make claim to
quiet their title to the Kelly property
agreeing to reimburse Mr.. Gibbon
for his expresses. The jury found
that Mr.. Gibbons was entitled to only
the Inwood property and that the
D heirs were owners of the Plymouth
house and lot, valued at perhaps
$3.50. There are ten of the heirs.
Mike Chambers plead guilty to
1selling intoxicating liquors without a
license. He was fined $50.
Alexander Bismark plead guilty to
a similar charge and was fined $50.
Jas. C. Curtis & Co.. were given
Judgement of $230.33.
