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.
