| 1802 |  | Joe Fisher family returns from Wyoming 1912 "Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fisher and children returned Sunday from Marbleton, Wyoming, and will remain here until spring." This article suggests the Fishers spent only one summer in Wyoming on the land Joseph purchased in 1911, after selling his farm in Burlingame in Feb 1912. In Jan 1913 Joseph buys the Burlingame pool hall and he and family appear repeatedly in the local Burlingame news from 1913 on, suggesting they remained in Burlingame from 1913 on. |

He saw a turtle and went to shoot it. Just then a fish got hold of his line, pulled good and strong, yanked Joe's hand down in front of the barrel just as it went off.

Through her attorney, C. S. Ritter, Julia Williams filled suit for $428 wages which she has earned by her labor. She worked, she claims, 428 weeks at a salary of $2 a week and received just half that sum, and sues for the balance. W. A Martin, who acted as clerk in the office, also sues for $454 which he alleges to be due him on back salary. John Gants, the new proprietor, who paid the sisters $2,250 for everything in the hotel, save the clothing and personal effects of the ladles, brings suit for $995.10, the value of the goods which the sisters took from the building, contrary to his understanding of the lease. Dishes, bedding, furniture, and a long list of things are included in his bill. |

| 1849 |  | Law Suit Against the Fisher Sisters Concluded - The Iola Register, 23 Nov 1900 The District Court Entire week of Busy Work in the Court Room Hotel Suit Most Important John Gants Awarded $500 on his Claim for $900 Damages (snip) The most impressive display of legal talent so far in the present court session appeared Monday when the suit of Mr. and Mrs. John Gants against the Misses Fisher for $900.00 was called. The suit was over a verbal agreement made at the time of renting of the hotel by the sisters to Mr. and Mrs. Gants and the sale of the furnishings. The trial lasted for two days and late one night. Tuesday Proceedings The suits of Mr. and Mrs. John Gants against the Fisher Sisters is held the boards Tuesday and Wednesday. A long array of witnesses, from star boarders who lived at the hotel at the time of the change, down to the book and chambermaids, draymen and carpet dusters, were sworn and testified about the furniture before and after the change, None of the testimony was exciting and the only fire struck came from more or less regular tilts between counsel. Among the star witnesses of the morning was Brooks Lane, the stuttering man of all work. He prefaced his remarks by the assurance that while he did stutter,"if you'll give me t-time, I'll m-m-mange to s-s-stutter out the t-t-truth." The room was crowded in expectancy, but Brooks held his tongue pretty well. On a cross examination he was asked if the parlor carpet was a dark green, and replied that while he didn’t know whether it was dark green he thought it was “some light color.” Wednesday Proceedings The jury in the suit of Mr. and MrJ. H. Gants against the Fisher sisters went out at 10 o’clock Tuesday night and at 9 o’clock Wednesday came in with a sealed verdict. They had a long seance and the finding was as follows: Judgment in favor of John Gants and his wife for $500 was rendered, which carries with it the costs in the case which will add somewhat to the amount to be paid. The original amount asked for was $900 and it will be seen that the jury eliminated some of the items stated in the petition, but credited the withdrawal of a good part of the goods named. The lawyers made their pleadings at night, the prosecution opening, A. H. Campbell speaking first. Then Mr. Foust replied for the defense, Mr. Benton eloquently seconding his remarks. C. A. Cox closed for the prosecution and then everybody but the jury went home, having listened to two solid hours of conflicting eloquence. |
