Meirose injured in land dispute with neighbor

June 30, 1921

HARTINGTON — Differences over a fence line between farms owned by their fathers resulted in a fight which ended in Casper Meirose being struck over the head with an iron bar in the hands of his cousin, Joseph Meirose, according to a warrant secured from county court which resulted in the latter being brought into court to answer to a charge of assault.

The case was tried Saturday to a jury, which found the defendant guilty. Judge Bryant suspended sentence to July 15 to give both parties time to reach an amicable agreement regarding the joint drive way and the fence.

Failing to reach an agreement Judge Bryant indicated a severe sentence would be imposed.
