1838 | Law Suit Against the Fisher Sisters - The Iola Register, 12 Jan 1900 Claims Against the Fisher Sisters are Aggregating About $2,000 Papers have been filled In the district court representing the claims brought by three parties against the Fisher Sisters who recently gave up their hotel here and went to Galveston. 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. |

1839 | 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. |

1846 | Letter from California - 2 1876 In this letter published in The Osage County Chronicle immediately following his first letter to the editor, Riley Hoskinson describes the community and state of agricultural in his new home of Cloverdale, Somona Co., CA: "I find everything OVERDONE. Most all the trades and professions are in this condition. Merchandising in all its various branches is quite overdone. Vine culture is entirely overdone. Grapes by tons, and of the finest quality are now wasting in the vineyards, and are common stock to any one who wants them. Excellent apples sell at 1 1/2 cents per lb. The best of wine sells at 20 cents per gallon. Provisions of all kinds are as cheap as with you, except butter, eggs and chickens. Butter is 50 cents per pound: eggs, 45 to 60 cents per dozen; chickens from $6 to $9 per dozen....Farming here pays well, as there are but few destructive insects to disturb the crops. Wheat is being sown now, and I am told, will be sown all winter. Some are planting out trees, some making garden, etc. The weather is most delightfully pleasant - no freeze - no wind - flowers of all kinds in profusion. We have excellent church and school privileges. Society of the best. The kindness so far shown us has exceeded all our expectations. We feel perfectly at ease. We have no need to be homesick. In short, we are contented and happy as it seems possible for human beings to be." Riley's opinion of California would swing very negative over the next 4 months. In May 1977, he and wife Martha would leave California for the Washington Territory. |

1847 | Letter from California 1876 Written to his hometown newspaper, The Osage County Chronicle, Riley Hoskinson tells of his and wife Martha's journey from Osage Co., KS to a new home in Cloverdale, Somona Co., CA. The trip cost the two of them roughly $70 and was quite pleasant: "From Topeka to Omaha, $11.00; from Omaha to San Francisco, on the Emigrant Train, $45.00; from "Frisco" by steamer and railroad to Coverdale, $4.25 each. The arrangements for emigrants are admirable. At Omaha the Railroad Compa- ny have a large house called the Emigrant House, where all are cared for in excel- lent style, at $1.00 per day. Here the names of all are taken that have procured tickets: and then all are mustered near the cars, and as each family or individual is called, they, or he, are placed in one of the cars, and each passenger allowed one entire seat, which must be kept till they reach Ogden, when they are changed into cars from California, in the same manner as before. On reaching Sacramento, Cal., the same nice arrangement takes place in the transfer from cars to steamer. Plenty of food, dry wood, and excellent water are furnished the entire route. Provisions plenty, to be had at most all the stopping places, and mostly at reasonable rates. Where two or more persons go together they can purchase a kind of cushion that just fills the space between the seats, and thus make a comfortable bed. Thus we found the trip quite pleasfortable (the last word likely a typo by the editor)." The final stage of the journey "...we took stage 65 miles to Albion, situated on the Ocean shore; went by wagon 10 miles out into the Red Wood region; found our children all well, and busy making railroad ties out of those monster trees, many of which are 14 feet in diameter, and 300 feet high. I helped measure one that was 45 feet around.....Splitting out and hauling railroad ties pays tolerably well, but is very hard work." |

1848 | Letter from Fisher Sisters re. Galveston Hurricane - The Iola Register, 5 Oct 1900 Fisher Sisters Heard From. An Iola friend has received n letter from the Fisher sisters, who are conducting e, hotel in Galveston, and it tells of their remarkable escape from death and loss. While the wild waters surged all about four feet deep for blocks they escaped injury in their hotel and the loss to their property will not be over fifty dollars. They expected to be swept away every minute but not one word of fear was heard in the solemn quiet of the hotel during tho trying hours of waiting. Miss Libby Fisher has been appointed by Miss Burton on her staff to help look after the relief work. She writes that a week ego the dead were still being found and buried at the rate of 100 a day. The girls have received hundreds of letters and telegrams from all over the country, from friends and strangers, congratulating them. It is certainly one of the remarknble experiences of the storm. |
