Squire Bussell Settled Damage Case Friday.

Squire Bussell, monarch of Hanging Grove township, settled a damage suit in his court Friday afternoon. The suit followed an action brought by Roy Helsel against Albert Swing, Jr., in which the former charged the latter with having been responsible for an accident which occurred when their autos crashed together. The accident occurred near Lee, when the cars the two parties to the suit were driving, met on a bridge and locked fenders. The squire, after hearing all of the evidence, rendered a judgment of $6 in favor of Helsel. An automobile man by the name of .Nelson was present and stated that the damage to the Helsel car would amount to about six dollars more than the damage to the Swing car, hence the decision of Mr. Bussell.
