MOSCOW ATTORNEYS WIN BIG LAND CASE
BOOM & MORGAN NOTIFIED COURT
REFUSES NEW TRIAL IN CASE
THEY WON
Morgan & Boom received notification Sunday that Judge J. W. Knowles, of the northwestern Oregon district court, including Union and Wallowa counties, had refused to grant a new trial in the case of E. A. Anderson vs. The Wallowa National Bank and the Enterprise Mercantile & Milling Co. This is a case in which Morgan & Boom appeared for the plaintiff and won a verdict for $40,000 in the Wallowa county court in May last. The defendants had asked for a new trial on the grounds of error in the trial of the case. Their prayer is rejected and the verdict holds.
The case was fought and awakened great interest. The verdict was the latest returned in Wallowa county in many years. The defendants are among the oldest business firms of Enterprise, dating back to 1888 and were strongly entrenched against the verdict.
The verdict was a victory for the bank and the bank.
