S., Dr. Simcoe Miss Rose Kemp 7 Jun 1916 xx Callaway Weekly Gazette Friday, July 28, 1905 Law Suit at Calwood Justice Wade Woods' court, at Calwood, was the scene of a rather remarkable law suit, Monday. Dr. R.S. Simcoe and Benjamin Dudley had cattle in adjoining pastures, and each owned a speckled calf that looked very similar. Mr. Dudley missed his calf, and seeing what he felt certain was the identical animal in the doctor's grass patch, put it on the Dudley side of the fence. Then the doctor missed the calf he claimed as his, and proved to a jury that Dudley's calf had died and that the bovine Dudley claimed, belonged to Simcoe. The suit accordingly was decided in the doctor's favor. D.H. Harris was attorney for Dr. Simcoe, while N.D. Thurmond plead Mr. Dudley's case, and it is said to have been one of the hardest fought forensic battles that ever occurred in a Calwood court.
