COURT HOUSE NEWS Interesting Law Question Comes Up in Bob Durbin’s Suit for Child DEMURER IS ARGUED • Assessments Approved on Two Drains—W. A. Lower Appointed as Guardian Attorneys D. E. Smith for the plaintiff and H. B. Heller for the defendant argued a demurer morning in the case of Robert M.Durbin vs. Katie Durbin, a suit for possession of a child.
