Oren and Arch Elijah Shall Pay sl,000 For Attack Made Two Years Ago On Thos. Dowling. The jury in the case of Thos. F. Dowling against Oren and Arch Elijah, of near Morocco, returned a verdict at about 2 o’clock this Saturday morning. Dowling had sued for $lO,000 for alleged injuries sustained two years ago, when the Elijahs, father and son, had considerably beat him up with a spade and knife. The jury rendered a verdict in the sum of sl,000. Judgment was withheld pending an argument for a new trial for which motion was made. The case was heard by Special Judge George Marvin, of Monticello.
