The $900 Verdict On A Saloon Bond

Was Paid in Full Yesterday Afternoon

Mrs. James Got $900 Because of Her Husband Falling Out of Buggy While Drunk

The celebrated saloon case of Anna James vs. John Schaefer, on a saloon bond, tried a year ago in the circuit court, in which the plaintiff recovered a verdict of $900 has been paid in full.

It will be remembered that Anna James claimed on the trial that her husband, who was an habitual drunkard, was sold or given liquor by John Schaefer, and that in consequence while intoxicated he fell out of a buggy and was permanently injured. It was shown that because of her husband's habitual drinking Mrs. James had to take in washings and work out for a living and had to partly support her husband after he was injured. The defense claimed James fell out of the buggy because of a defect in the highway. The case was hotly contested being tried by Frank Jones and Carl Storm for Mrs. James and M. J. Lehman and Frank Stivers for the bondsmen.

Last week the sheriff returned the execution fully paid and satisfied.
