The Shafer-Flaharty case came up Wednesday of last week, and continued two days. Leyman, of Mansfield, appeared for prosecution, and Redding of this place, for defense. The story runs as follows: An agreement was entered into between the parties that by the first of September, 1878, Shafer would have erected a building on that part of the tannery grounds which would cover the vats necessary to be kept warm so as to proceed with the first processes of tanning and that Flaharty would pay for the use of the tannery thus improved, a yearly rental of $100. Shafer failed to build at that time, and Flaharty claimed a damage of $275, by reason of such delay over winter, and refused to pay the rent, whereupon Shafer entered suit. The case was given to the jury Thursday evening, and a verdict was shortly reached, awarding Flaharty $36 damages. A motion for appeal has been filed.
