"TWO IRATE FEMALES.
Trouble in a Highland Township Neighborhood.
There is trouble in Highland township.
The misery has been caused by two females and a suit in Justice Ansberry's court is the result.
Thursday, Adam Heinrich came before Justice Ansberry and made affidavit, charging Margaret Umbs with threatening his wife, Barbara Heinrich in a threatening manner.
Thursday eve, Officer Eiser drove out to the residence of Mrs. Umbs, and served her with a summons to appear in court Friday morning.
The trouble originated in a jawing match over some neighborhood matters pertaining to some turkeys, which roamed at large and destroyed crops. The material for thanksgiving dinners caused the ladies to come together and material for an airing in court cropped out.
Friday morning Mrs. Umbs appeared in court accompanied by her attorney, H. G. Baker. James B. Woods appeared for the prosecution. The case was postponed until Monday the 29th."
It was just not a good day for Mrs. Umbs... that same day...
"DISLOCATED HER WRIST.
A Highland Township Young Lady Meets with an Accident.
Friday Mrs. Margaret Umbs, accompanied by her daughter, aged 15, came to this city.
When they were returning that evening, the horse became unmanageable in East Defiance, and backing up, partially overturned the vehicle, throwing the young lady out. Her right wrist was dislocated and she was bruised somewhat.
Dr. Westrick was summoned, who attended to her injuries, and she was taken to her home."
Unfortunately, I could not find the outcome of this tiff over turkeys, but I imagine the judge felt he might have better things to do that day than referee these two ladies.
