Spa ! ! vs. Smith.
A case was tried in the county
court this week in which A. E.
Spall was plaintiff and Charles E.
Smith was the defendant. Both
live , at Simeon. Spall brought
suit for 5i days' work , with men
and teams and machinery , jji
potting up hay in 1907 , the year
Smith bought the Spall ranch , and
charged two months' board to
Smith at § 10 per , month. Smith
claims as a set off , or counter
claim , several days' work in re
turn that hg did for Spall ; that he
had sold Spall 30 tons of hay and
that he sustained 8112 damages by
failure of Spall to turn over relinquishment -
linquishment to homestead at time
he had secured party to file upon
it and that he had paid Spall Bros.
$32'50 for a cow and calf which
was not delivered , in his purchase
of the Spall cattle. Also , that he
had pastured horses for Spall and
hid paid in two checks the sum of'
§ 40.00. Smith also claimed that
Spall had asked only § 3 50 per
day in three former statements
for the 54 days' work with team.
The trial was before Judge
Quigley and a jury of six men and
occupied Tuesday afternoon and
nearly all day Wednesday.
Judge Walcott was attorney for
Spall and C. A. Ruby for Smith.
There were many clashes in the
legal battle and the case appeared
to be-a series of neglected accounts
\ f
in which recollection in part ap
peared to be faulty and each side
contending for the best of iC or
balance in his favor.
Several witnesses from that
vicinity were present to tell what
they knew of the case , and the
general credibilty of all concerned
made it an interesting trial.
The jury was composed of How
ard Jay cox , Charles Green , Har
ry Landon , John Eaton , \C. \ P.
Hamar and-'RcrSert Wells :
Ine jury found a balance in fav
or of the defendant for § 41 , and
the cogts were thrown onto the
plaintiff.
Mike Mone came .down from
Cody Tuesday evening on a little
business and * found lime to visit
with ye scribe a bjt.s Mike lives
out 12 miles south of Cody , and ,
the country being sparsely settled ,
they find support of a school dif
ficult in his district , while the
schools along the railroad are able
to hire a teacher at a big salary
and have money to burn. Mr.
Mone thinks it time to stop - talking
ing about * playing fair and get
tfasy with an equalization scheme.
He reasons that the railroads
should belong to the whole county
alike and that should be apportion
ed to the several districts alike
according . to the number of chil
dren of school age and that a gen
eral levy be made , for school pur
poses in the county the same , as
for county general , road or bridge
