ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by date.
DESCRIPTION: This volume contains only two entries, both regarding a single case before the Fifth Judicial District Court. This case concerns a judgment originally rendered 2 March 1933 in which the plaintiff was awarded damages and court costs. Eight years later (1941), the defendant had still not paid this obligation. The court, through this order, directed the county sheriff to find the defendant and demand payment. Upon the defendant's refusal to pay, or the sheriff's failure to locate the defendant, the sheriff was authorized to seize and sell enough personal and/or real property to completely satisfy the debt and all associated administrative and court costs. The execution order, issued 24 February 1941, includes the name of the plaintiff (F.M._Lyman, Jr.), the name of the defendant (Xoral Oliver), the name of the judge (Will L._Hoyt), the amount of the judgment ($21.70), the amount of court costs ($13.20), the annual interest rate to be charged on any unpaid balance (8 percent), and the name of the county clerk (Arthur C._Brown) who, as clerk of the court, recorded the order.
The county sheriff's return on execution (in which it is reported that the defendant had not been found and that her property had been seized and sold as directed) immediately follows the execution order issued by the court. The return on execution report was made by Deputy Sheriff Clifford Ashman for Sheriff Henry Forster.
