CIRCUIT COURT. Many Cases Disposed of Including Middleton Bank Receivership. The case of Herman Arndt VS. Henry R. Eisenmann which was begun Friday morning was concluded Saturday afternoon when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $175.00. On November 12, 1915, Mr. and Mrs. Arndt were passing the home of Mr. Eisenmann when the latter's dog ran out barking and frightened Mr. Arndt's team. They ran away throwing Mr. Arndt out, breaking his arm and causing permanent injury. The suit was to recover damages to the amount of $5,000. Aull & Aull represented the plaintiff, and Lyons & Ristine the defendant. The case of J. T. Larkin VS. Mabel Strodtman, damages, was commenced Monday before a jury, and was given to the jury Tuesday. This case grew out of an automobile collision. The plaintiff was represented by Chas. A. Keith, and the defendant by Lyons & Ristine. The jury failed to agree and was discharged. The case of Rolla Jones VS. Waverly Coal Co., damages, was settled out of court by the defendant paying the plaintiff $900.00. Chas. Lyons, receiver Middleton Bank, Waverly, Mo., filed his final settlement and was discharged. The litigation in this case was finished about ten years ago, and the intervening time has been taken up by Mr. Lyons collecting the assets and making proper distribution of the proceeds. Through the efforts of Mr. Lyons the depositors realized 95% of their deposits.
