May Court Docket Finished

The making up of the docket for the May term of court was completed Monday by Country Clerk Blum. There are twenty-four jury cases, six chancery cases of the first class and eleven fourth class chancery cases to be heard.

The most important cases to be heard, perhaps, are Lambarth vs. Roller, a slander suit, and that of Thomas P. Kearney against the Washtenaw Mutual Fire Insurance company, more familiarly known as the "Bean" case.

This is the case in which Kearny claims that the insurance company in appraising his loss after his barn was burned down did not allow him the proper remuneration for a large quantity of beans which were stored in the barn, he says, and which were lost in the fire.
