ROUT CASES ARE SETTLED JUDGE C. W. VERMILION MAKES PULING ON REWARD OF ARBITRATORS From Friday's Daily. Three cases, having to do with tlie controversy between Frank Koht and Charles S. Bierce, alleged to have aris en over the purchase by the former from the latter of a certain stock of general merchandise at Eldon, .havo been settled by Judge C. W. Vermil lion. The suits concerned are Charles S. Bierce vs. Frank Koht G. M. Friend vs. Frank Koht and Frank Koht vs thp First National bank of Eldon. The points of dispute-in ihese cases have been heard before a board of ar bitration, and yesterday the award of the arbitrators the petition for its adoption signed by Charles S. Bierce and other parties to the suit, and the objection to the award filed by Koht, were considered. Judge Vermilion found as follows: That an attorney's fee of $25 was al lowed to Bierce and was ordered paid by Koht that the costs of the above named suits be paid, three-fifths by Koht and two-fifths by the other par ties. while both pay an equal share of the costs of the arbitration. Further a judgment* of $1,278.18 is ordered against Frank Koht in favor of Bierce. The case of Bierce vs Koht is a suit for rental on premises leased to the defendant, alleged to be due the plain tiff. In the second suit of G. M. Friend vs Koht to foreclpse a chattel mort gage given by Koht upon a stock of merchandise, to secure payment of $20,000 including the $2,000 involved in the replevin suit, the mortgage and note having been transferred by Bierce to Friend and left by Friend with the First National bank of Eldon for collection. The third suit, that of Koht vs the First National Bank of Eldon, was an action of replevin, wherein Koht claim ed that the value of the stock had nev er been finally determined by invent ory as agreed upon, and was less than the $45,000 ne was to pay for the same. Therefore he claimed that in this way the outstanding note had been paid and he was entitled to its possession. As the result of the three suits and the arbitration Bierce prevailed to the sum of about $1,300 upon 'this $2,000 note which Koht claimed had thus been paid. Cancels Option. In the suit of Sarah L.
