court after pending on the Linn
county docket for four years.
These four cases involve total
damage claims of $93,052.33.
Another claim of $10,000 had
been previously dismissed after
being settled and in another a
$500 claim as stipulated after a
jury had awarded a verdict in
the only cases arising from this
accident that never came to
trial.

$750 damage verdict on Decem
ber 7, 1945, by a circuit court
jury and Irene Marsh vs. Ohling,
Lightle and Brown, who accept
ed a $500 stipulated judgment.

cases were based. These and
the last named two cases show
