The case of Cad Cornell VS. Mahlon
Fidler, which was tried last week in
Circuit Court, went to the jury late
Friday, and after several hours of de
liberation, Cornell was awarded judg-
ment of $500. This case grew out of
a backyard squabble between the
families, who live in adjoining houses
same spreading to dogs, chickens,
wives, and finally to the husbands.
Last summer when Cornell was riding
home on his bicycle he met Fidler. and
because the latter had apparently cal
led Mrs. Cornell an unkindly name, he
asked that in future when Fidler had
any such remarks TO make, to make
them to the head of the house. Fiddler
thereupon, so the story goes, began
throwing stones in deadly earnest, and
with what good aim is shown from the
fact that Cornell was hit in the back
of the head, so badly that he became
unconscious and it was necessary for
several stitches to be taken i'm the
wound. Cornell was confined to his
home several weeks and it is claimed
that his spine is badly affected by the
wound, his employer, d. c. Gibbs,
claiming that he is not able to do the
work he did before his illness.
