A BEAUTIFUL DRIVEWAY
AND FINE SCENERY DOWN
THE RIVER ROAO
VS. P. L PROPST DECIDED
IN FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF
From Wednesday's laily.
This morning the case of John
IJaimr vs. It. L. I'ropst came up
for hearing in Justice Archer's
caurt, and on the evidence the
court found for the plaint ill' and
rendered judgment for the sum of
SlOi. The case grew out of the
placing of a furnace in the resi
dence of the defendant at Mynard.
Mr. Propst claimed that the work
of installing the furnace was not
satisfactory and that the founda
tion of flu? house had been re
moved, allowing- the house to set
tle, and also that the plant did not
heat one room in the way it
should, and he desired to have s?."0
taken off of the bill of the plaintiff
to cover Ihe damages done. The
plaintiffs denied that they had in
any way caused Ihe settling of the
house, having only removed a
small timber that supported a part
of the foundation to place a pipe
through there. The case was quite
warmly contested and it is not
known as yet whether it will be
appealed or not by Ihe defendant.
Frank Archer Better.
Word has just been received
from Council ItlufTs to the elVcct
that Frank Archer, who for some
time past has been quite low with
a complication of diseases, is on
the highway fo recovery, as he has
received the greatest benetit from
the treatment he is taking at pres
ent and has the promise of his
physician that he will be able fo
be up and around in a few days
for a short lime. This is certain
ly pleasing news to the many
friends of Mr. Archer here, who
have been quite anxious over his
coudil ion.
Many of the Suits offered in
these three special items are
medium weights, which can
be worn well into the winter. The styles
are precisely the same as next winter's
styles. So by buying now you will save
from S5 to $12 over the price you'll have
to pay next fall and winter. This is
practical economy without the sacrifice
of style.
