The Covington News
Unusually Heavy Docket in Both Civil and Criminal Cases. Will Last Several Days.
  The March term of the City Court which will convene next Wednesday will be
an unusually busy one, due to the fact that a large number of cases, both 
civil and criminal will come up for trial and the court will possibly hold
for several days.
  At this term of the court a suit against the county by Susan Glover Stamps
is set for hearing. The suit is for $2,000 damages which she alleges is due
her on the death of her daughter who fell through a bridge last year, death
resulting. The plaintiff claims that the county is liable on account of the 
bridge being defective, but the county will endeavor to prove that such was
not the case and that it was negligence on the part of the plaintiff. It will
be a very interesting suit and is attracting quite a good deal of interest
all over the county, the citizens waiting with interest to see the outcome.
