Neighborhood Row over Calf in Court

Urbana Courier-Herald January 23, 1905

MCGARIGLE VS. KAISER

Calf Wandered and Then Ensued Pitched Battle

Last week it was a wash bill, this week a neighborhood row over a calf occupies the time of the circuit court. Today the troubles of Mrs. Anna Belle McGarigle and Mrs. Una Kaiser, both of North Oak street Champaign, were related to a Jury.

Mrs. McGarigle, it seems, had a calf which wandered over to Mrs. Kaiser's, two doors north, and there the animal's owner sought it. Here there is a wide divergence of testimony. Mrs. McGarigle declares she was attacked by her neighbor; Mrs Kaiser says that that Mrs McGarigle came down on her like the Assyrians came down on the fold. At any rate the Champaign police when called found the two women engaged in a hand to hand combat.

Mrs McGarigle wants $1,000 damages, the action she brings being for trespass.
