OLD BARBEQUE SUIT
A Palmer restaurant dispute
of long standing was settled in
Third District Court last week
when a jury verdict ruled in fav
or of the plaintiff. Christ Dene
kos.
In his suit Denekos charged
that Grasser had illegally forced
his way into the cafe he operated,
known as Charlie’s Barbeque. on
August 31. 1950. He charged that
Grasser had illegally retained
possession of certain property, in- i
eluding dishes, a table and food.
The jury awarded Denekos $1-000
compensatory damages.
Judge Anthony Dimond had in
structed the jury that Grasser’s
entry of the cafe- was not illegal
since Denekos’ lease on the build
ing had expired.
