Disposition of Important Case
About two years ago, James Himmelright, a millionaire drayman of Delphos, 
entered suit before Squire Marshall against R.B. Jervis, a well known grocery 
man of Delphos, the complaint being that the latter was justly owing the former 
a sum of money for professional services — otherwise draying. John Hughes 
appeared as attorney for the plaintiff and secured for his client a verdict. 
Mr. Jervis appealed his case to the Van Wert County Common Pleas Court an the 
verdict of the lower court was sustained. Judge Day gave it as the opinion of 
the Court that, in this country, the laborer is always worthy of his hire, and 
in this case not only entitled to the amount sued for, but also interest on the 
whole amount from date.
P.S. — It should be stated for the truth of history, that the sum sued for and 
for which judgment was obtained was fifteen cents.
