Guy and family visited Justice Court Last Wednesday the much watched for case of Lacy Murlott vs V. A. Anderson was brought before Justice Gum and finally settled. We are somewhat at a loss as to the real case as they first started in on an attachment case, then went to blackmail and finally ended with a pure case of adulfcry It seems that this one Vick Anderson had been tangled up in various positions with the plaintiff and for compense had promised her, some furniture and a buggy and harness which he afterward tried to take out of town and she pounced on it with all fours.
