Deeds Land To Son And Is Turned Out? Mother Sues

With allegations of cruel treatment and breach of contract for her support during the remaining years of her life, Mrs. Nancy Bair (sic) of Jones City filed suit in the district court last evening for $2,500 damages from her son, Hardin L. Blair.

Mrs. Lair (sic) is 74 years of age is now making her home with her daughter, Mrs. T. J. Allen.

According to allegations of the petition, a verbal contract was formed between Mrs. Blair and her son, October 27, 1897, by which he was in care for her during the declining years for which she deeded him 160 acres of land in Garfield county. It was valued at $2,500 at that time, but is now said to be worth $6,000. For seven years, the plaintiff alleges, she was forced to submit to cruel treatment, taunts and petty annoyances until she was compelled to leave their home.

The plaintiff is represented by Attorneys Giddings, Giddings and Lindsey.
