In Justice Court

In Justice Duffy's court Monday afternoon the case of Mary J. Tubbs vs. Hannah Higgins is being tried by a jury, the jury struck being Geo. W. Cropsey, Geo. Wahr, W. F. Stimpson, Ernest Eberbach, Marvin Davenport and Wm. Dansingburg. The suit is from Dexter and is for a bill for freight and drayage from July 2, 1879, to June 7, 1895, amounting to $155.57 and $25 on an old note. It seems that Tubbs, who was for these years the Dexter village drayman, claims to have been for years paying the freight bills of the Dexter merchants and keeping them as an investment. Now they refuse to pay and a series of suits have been commenced to enforce payment. The claims have been assigned to his wife.

John Schane was sentenced this morning to 10 days in jail for being drunk on the streets Saturday night. He had been husking corn between Dexter and Chelsea, and getting a little money came to the city to spend it. He said he got in with some fellows and spent the money and so had nothing with which to pay the costs and keep out of jail.

Chas. Bell, who was arrested on the charge of assaulting his wife, gave bail Sunday for $100 for his appearance Tuesday, Nov. 29.
