S. Summers Charged Aged Woman. Mrs. Laurentina A. L..; W ent, a woman of "0 yeirs. is victor In the suit in eqnity which phe brought Rgainst Williamson 8. Bummers, attorney, and others to gain pos session of certain property and to balance account otherwise with Hummers. Judge Estelle has handed down a decision in the case by virtue of which Summers gets $110. The court ffound that his ser vioea as attorney and for exjensea ad vanced should be assessed at Jl.OnO, but makes a deduction of $:if() because Sui.-.ners failed to collect rent due Mis. West when tenant was ready and willing to pay." The chief point in the cane is that Mrs. West Is confirmed in the title of certain real ealate which Summers won for her, hut on the deeds of which he subsequently kept a close and firm clutch. Judge rtc lie finds I hut In the year 1W7 Summers began action for Mrs. West against certain parties named Edginton to get title to the real estate; that he case did not come to trial, hut a compromise was reached whereby title was to be In vested In Mrs. West through the medium of Edmund C. Strode of Lincoln. Next, Summers had Strode make out a deed in blank to forty acres of a farm In volved. Mrs. West knew nothing of this. The rest of the property waa made out to Mrs. West, but Summers kept the deeds and would not turn them over, though asked to. Meantime he failed to collect the rent on the farm for Mrs. West for the year 17. This rent waa PM. Next year he "negligently," says the court, failed to rent the farm and lost Mrs. West another By reason of the farm going to weeds It waa damaged $W) and Summers further had $nn in Income from Mrs. West's prop erty. This totals $3fio. The court finds further that Rummers' Fervices were worth Sl.flOft In winning the title for Mrs. West and that he expended & The $ Is substracted ffrom the 11.050 and Summers awarded the difference, or J110. But the deed to the forty acres, which was left blank, waa filled out Just before this suit, tays the court, the name of T. U. Sloan being inserted by Summers. The court orders the title to this vested in Mrs. Wept and the deeds to the rest of thn property given her. T7vn nv iii 11 nTVTTXTTTlI 11" 1 m 1 IB if a WBXT WBDRIIDAT la BIO X.STTKB SAT for K.
