REV. DICKEY'S DAMAGE SUIT
COMPROMISED

The suit against the Keith & Keith
Motor Car Company, of Maysvi!le,
brought by the Rev. j. j. Dickey, for
merly pastor of the Hutchinson Meth
odist church, for injuries received by
him from one of their machines, No
vember 5, 1920, was compromised
through attorney LeWright Brown
ing. The Motor Car Company Was
insured against all losses, and the
suit was brought with a view to re
covering damages from the insurance
and not from the Motor
Car Company. When it developed
that Keith & Keith had forfeited
their claim against the insurance
company by violating their contract
with the company, Mr.. Dickey only
asked of them that they pay the le-
gitimate expenses incurred by him by
reason of the injuries he received in
the accident. This they agreed to do.
and he in turn released them from
any further obligation to him. Rev.
Dickey has so far recovered from his
injuries that he is doing full work as
pastor of the Little Brick church in
Maysville.
