Been in the Courts for the Past Seven Year and Tried Several Times in the Lower Court and the Supreme Court--Remanded for a New Trial and Settled.

Saturday the case of Kelly Ma- hah vs. Coles tin a Fejervary, Adminis- tratrix, was settled. This brings to an end a case which has been in the courts, both lower and supreme. for the past seven years -and 'more. The tfyse was settled through the attorneys, George E.

Hubbeli, for the defendant and R. M. Sharon for the plaintiff. It has been a long Imrd fight. The case grew out of the construction of the Fejervary Home for Disabled Scott County Farmers.

Kelly Mahan had the contract for the building -and in this contract was a Umo limit clause providing for thx; forfeiture of so much per day for every day that it required to complete tho building over and -above the limit. The work required considerable time more than was specified in the contract and Mr. Fejervary refused to pay the -full amount of the contract price i i SttOO. The suit was brought to recover this amount in August 1803 and has been tried three times in the lower court, once partially iind twice to a verdict, and once in the supreme court and was reversed and remanded upon a rehearing before that body. A.

history of the 'case was recently published in The Leader.
