Case of Unusual
Interest Heard
In Justices Court

A suit, involving something
over one hundred dollars only,
but of interest because of the
principle at stake, was heard by
Trial Justice Friend here last
Saturday between the Greever
Motor Company of Norton and
Matt Smith, miner Of Steinman.
Some time last year Smith
bought a 81 Ford Coupe of the
Norton concern for $4,000, to be
paid for on the instalment plan.
Smith paid something over 5000
of the debt and because, he alleg
ed, Of some i'll luck, stopped pay
ing. The company repossessed
the car and soon after traded it
to another party in this county
for $4,000. Then, a short time
ago, sued Smith for the total
amount Of the purchase price.
The court held that $650.00 was
too much for used car of that
type and that when the company
repossessed the car and traded it
again that their debt against the
first purchaser was settled, even
though he had lapsed on final
payment.

ments, so far as is known at this
time, in addition to helping re-
pei the Japs at Pearl Harbor In
that engagement he received a
slight wound from flying shrap-
mel.

a price not to exceed twenty-five
cents per person, with the party
under supervision of a "house
mother" and house father"

tions are urged to contact this
