CASE DISMISSED

day, Judge Costello dismissed with,
costs the $500 damage action of W.
l Roy Jones against W. Stephenson,
both of town. His honor held that
the sale of the property, in the for-
mer skating rink, in March 1933; by
Stephenson, to Murray Johnson, was
bona ficle.and that the price. was not
exorbitant, and that therefore, darn -
ages asked on the score of attempted
illegal eviction, were not substantiat-
ed. The lease from Stephenson to one
Weatherall, who assigned it to Jones,
' bore a clause ti at in event of sale, the
lessee was ;to vacate within 45 days,
The judge further held that Jones
knew the condition of tite property
when he took over in September, 1930
and therefore, could not claim dainag-
es for failure of the landlord to repair
• the building. .
The action was dismissed with
costs and the counterclaim of Steph-
enson-was
teph-
ciis ri
c , o was also dismissed, but without

well rendered. The orchestra which
accompanied the show was splendid.

numbers of tap dancing, was an ad-
ditional feature and she received a
good hand from the audience.

were good but the wise -cracks pulled
on local people went over particluarly
well.
The show is directed by Dr. T. G.

ered ands as was said before, it was
a good show.
