CIVIL Cases ON
COURT DOCKET
1870 FOR YEAR
Over 200 Divorce Cases Dis
posed of by Natrona Dis
trict Court During
1921.

During 1891 here were $50
civil cases filed in district court in
Casper OF which 201 straight civil &C
ions and EOS divorce cases have been
disposed OF. In the list Of civil &C
tons filed there were several cases
which are OF such unique circum-
stances that they r reprinted in
brief herewith
Tho largest award Of the district
court during tho yea was In the case
Of Whittemore and Lewis Investment
versus Fred Henderson
which was heard September 20. The
plaintiff obtained Judgment for $751;
B72.7T and foreclosure OF q mortgage
held.
Another oase which was of peculiar
interest involved the Casper National
bank in a suit against W. c. Clark.
The bonk sought TO recover s3,603.5o
which had been posted to the credit
OF W. c. Clark which rightfully be-
longed to William C. Clark of Powder
River. Tho bank alleged that w. c.
Clark knowing that this none did
not bslong to him drew n check for
81 1900 OF which t3.6o3.59 had been de-
posted to his credit by mistake and
placed the money In another bank.
The jury which heard h action
brought in a Judgment in favor OF the
plaintiff and awarded s3.eef.3s which
included tho original sum. costs INT
interest.
A somewhat similar breach Of trust
snvoived IN IN action filed by the MID
west Refining company seeking to re-
cover $1,000 which p. C. Chapman alb
conded with November IL. Tho Md
west company was given Judgment
for taoso.s7 and costs. This was in
addition to tho criminal sentsnce
which was imposed on Chapman after
he WINS convicted on a charge OF grand
larceny as bailee and sentenced to
serve n term OF not less than five years
and not more than SIX years in tho

Together they went back to the cabin John Moreland and his wife and their son Luke were standing at the weatherbeaten front gate, with their eyes turned anxiously toward the river. Caleb was coming up through the meadow, and he carried his hat in his hand.
 "Who fired that shot?" asked Dale.
 Ben Littleford," John Moreland an- swered readily.
 Two minutes later Caleb leaped the road and approached them hastily. He was breathing rapidly and his strong young face was drawn and pale-with the old hate.
 Well" said his iron father, what is it?'
 Caleb held up his broad-rimmed black hat and ran a finger through hole in the upper part of the crowns peak.
 He didn't miss" snapped John Moreland
 "No,' quickly replied Caleb, "he didn't miss. He don't never miss. You know that, pap, as well as ye know God made ye. He done 1t jest to show me he meant what he said. He told me to go and tell you to gether up yore set O rabbit-hearted heatherns and come down to the river fO' lead and-powder picnic, onless ye was a. skeered to come! He said to tell ye the wimmenfolks had hid our guns, and we'd find em onder the house floors"
 John Moreland took it with utter calmness, though his face was a little pale behind his thick brown beard. He turned to his wife, who looked at him squarely.
 "Addie, honey" said he, I'm mighty sorry"
 "Ef--ef you was much sorry, John" Mrs. Moreland half sobhed. "ye wouldn't go down thar to the river"
 Me a covard?" Moreland appeared to grow an inch in stature. Me let q Littleford send me news like this here which Cafe brings, and not do nothin at all about it? l thought you knowed me better'n that, Addie.'
 He faced his two stalwart sons. Al ways he was the general. the leader of his clan. He sent Caleb in one di- rection and Luke in another, to arouse his kinsmen.
 Then he beckoned to Dale, who had been trying hard but vainly to think of something to do or say that would be of aid to the cause of the women.
 "I don't want you in this here mix up" he said decisively. You must stay clean out of it. You aint used to this way O tightin'. Asides. you're our hope. More'n that, mebbe. you owe yore life to Babe Littleford; you cain't get around that, Bill Dale"
