KANE-SPIES SUIT OVER FINANCIAL DEAL IS SETTLED

Emmetsburg, March 19 – (Special) The lawsuit of Mrs. Eugene Kane against J.A. Spies of Graettinger was settled after considerable testimony had been taken. Judge Coyle advised both parties to settle.

Spies paid Mrs. Kane $5,000. She was suing him for $8,000 which she loaned the Spies and Jackman Land company. Since then John Jackman, her brother, was killed by a train and there was not enough funds in his estate to settle Mrs. Kane’s claim so she brought suit against Spies.
