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.
