CEDARBURG CLEVELAND CLUB
The above club had arranged a meeting last Saturday night at the Turn Hall which
was fairly attended. The principal speaker was County Superintendent W.F. SCOTT of
this place and, as this was his first effort, we must say that he exceeded our expectations
by far. His speech was one directed to the reason and not to the passions of his
audience and was a masterly logical effort. A young German from Hamilton, Mr. WITTIG,
made a few appropriate remarks in German as a spontaneous outburst of his feelings
which were well received. We understand that the next meeting will be held some time
early next month or at the end of the present when speakers from abroad will be present
and a very large meeting may be expected.

injured bone. Through some disagreement Mr. HARDIMAN sought the services of another
physician and refused to pay FUCH's bill. A short time ago FUCHS brought suit for
his services which was defended by HARDIMAN on the ground of malpractice. The plaintiff
was represented by HEDDING & JACKSON of this city and the defendant by Tom O'MEARA
of West Bend. Trial was had on Monday before Justice CIGRAND at Waubeka and judgment
was rendered for the plaintiff in the sum of $42.75.

FREDONIA, Sept. 21, 1884
On the 8th inst. quite a trial was had before Justice CIGRAND and jury. Dr. FUCHS
sued James HARDIMAN for a debt of $42.75. HARDIMAN in his answer to the complaint,
brought in the counter claim of $1000 for damages done to him and his boy by the
unskillfulness of the plaintiff.
The plaintiff, by his witnesses, showed that his claim was just; and proved by the
expert testimony of Dr. SEAN of Milwaukee, Dr. McGOVERN of Cedarburg and others,
that his treatment was good and proper; and that he was in nowise to blame for any
bad result.
The defendant tried to get some expert sic testimony from this county, but the expert
sic did not materialize, greatly to the chagrin of the plaintiff and his friends,
who were longing for some fun. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff; and on
last Friday Mr. HARDIMAN paid $77 and some cents, judgment and costs. All of this
would not have been, had the defendant closed his ears to the slanderous talk of
the non-materializing, presto change, now Jim here now Jim elsewhere, expert.

On the 10th inst. Dr. VOJE returned from his trip to Europe. He spent a very pleasant
year in Germany, Austria and Switzerland; and returns with his family, in excellent
health. The doctor sold his entire property, drug store, horses and all, to Dr. Albert
FUCHS who will continue to practice here. Dr. VOJE has located in Oconomowoc, where
the kind wishes of his Fredonia friends accompany him. On Friday evening the village
folks came together and with a brass band, perpetrated a serenade upon their new
burger and doctor. Mr. Francis SMITH made a little speech, wherein he spoke of a
general welcome and asked the doctor to do honor to a spread which had been prepared
in the Sacoger Hall. Arrived at the hall, the good folks were soon seated, and a
bounteous supper was dispatched. Dancing closed one of the neatest and most cosmopolitan
entertainments ever held in our village.
