The Haskins-Lewin attachment case was compromised at Valparaiso Friday while the jury was out wrestling over a decision; and the thirteen horses and other property held here for the past few weeks by Sheriff Hoover will be turned over, it was expeeted, yesterday. The costs in the case alone are considerable, the feed bill amounting Sunday noon to $202. Mr. Norgor, who has kept the horses, charged 60 cents per day per horse, or 20c a feed. When the parties came down Sunday after the property there was a dispute over this bill, they offering to pay $169, or 50e per day. Norgor refused to accept this, but i£ was expected the deputy sheriff would come down yesterday from Porter county and the feed bill matter be compromised. All the property, under compromise agreed upon between the Lewins and Mrs. Haskins, is to be taken back to Porter county and sold at public auction and the claim of Mrs. Haskins paid from the proceeds. Later—The matter was adjusted yesterday by Norgor receiving 50c per day per hose', and 50c per day for looking after the other property, and all was tuned over on order of court. ’. 7 V - • -V: 7 • -V:.‘ V *'• '
