The jury in the case of Francis J. Sessions vs. John P. Strickland arrived at a verdict Saturday night, just one minute before twelve o’clock. The Plaintiff was awarded $437. Sessions sold $800.00 worth of cattle in New York, to Dan Strickland, who died soon after the cattle were shipped to Arkansas City. John P.
