MUSTARD DEFEATED IN OLIVER LIEN CASE

Suit on Mechanic's Lien Decided Last Saturday. in Favor of :Uefendant Ed Oliver. The mechanics’ lien suit begun soon after the street fracas between Ed Oliver, the Newland farmer, and Marshal George Mustard, was heard last Saturday before Special Judge Wason, of Delphi. Thorsten Otterberg was a partner with Mustard in the building of Oliver’s bam and joined him in the lien proceedings. Oliver held that the job was not completed and that the contractors were to put a roof on the silo. The contractors claimed that they were not to do that, and filed the lien. Judge Wason heard the evidence and decided that the lien was not justifiable and that Oliver had paid all that was coming to the contractors for the work completed. The decision will -stick Mustard and Ot* terberg for the court costs, as well as the costs of their own attorney. The amount involved was only about S6O.
