FAMILY ROW WAS AIRED

Dexter Parties who Could Not Get Along With Each Other

A family row was aired in Justice Doty's court yesterday. The most interested parties hail from Dexter.

Mrs. Anna Huntley sued her mother, Mrs. Anna Zeeb for an alleged breach of contract. Mrs. Huntley was living in Chicago and claims that she carne to Dexter from Chicago on an alleged contract to board and care for her mother, in consideration of which she was to get house rent free and use of the garden.

She arrived June 11 and a family disagreement arose so that the daughter left Aug. 22. The daughter claims the mother broke the contract and on the stand swore that she thought she ought to have at least $200 for her trouble.

A. S. Sawyer & Son represented the plaintiff and J. F. Lawrence and J. T. Honey, the defendant.

The jury was out for an hour and then returned a verdict of no cause of action. As there is some very bitter feeling in the family, the case is likely to go into the circuit court.
