Flannigan, Sam - fie gets out of hand - Moody
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 12 Nov 1897 p 2
On Saturday afternoon James Davis and John Coleman acted as arbitrators for Sam Flannigan and WC Moody. During the drought this fall Sam Flannigan started a fire in his clearing and one windy day it got beyond control and burned some fencing and wood for Mr. Moody. Moody and Flannigan could not agree as to the amount of damages, hence they agreed to let Coleman and David arbitrate it, which is much better for neighbors to do than to go into court.
