Settlement Made.
Joe Hathaway held an accident in
surance policy in the American Ac
cident company, and this week the
adjuster arirved in Murray to com
plete a settlement with Mr. Hathaway
for the injuries he rec&ived by one of
his horses about th;e months ago.
We have been informed that the mat
ter was settled for the sum of $250.
This seems like a very small amount
for the payment of the expense and
suffering caused by Mr. Hathaway's
injuries, but owing to the conditions of
the policy it was all that he could collect.
