New York, 1895
Three months ago Mrs. Devitt, a sister of George Brown, a widower, living at Union Course, came to keep house for the latter. She brought three children with her. Wednesday Mrs. Devitt applied to Overseer of the Poor Wyckoff for assistance and protection against her brother, for whose arrest she had procured a warrant for assault.
Brown owns a house and a small plot of ground. The trouble began when Mrs. Devitt suggested that her brother make over his place to her. This he refused to do. Brown then drew up a will leaving all his possessions to his adopted son. Then trouble began.
As the woman is not a charge upon the town, Overseer Wyckoff could do nothing for her. Brown has, however, offered to pay his sister's fare back to Kansas where she came from.

Tilly vs. Cosgrove
New York, 1895
Some Complications Respecting a House on Phraner Farm.
Patrick Cosgrove, an old resident of Jamaica, and a veteran of the war, at present an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Bath, N. Y., while on furlough last summer purchased a lot on the Phraner farm and erected upon it a small house in which he resided with his son Patrick and daughter-in-law. The old man did not get along well with his son, and concluded to return to the home, which he did in February. Before going he sold the property to George E. Tilly for $150. Mr. Tilly then agreed with young Cosgrove that if he would paint the house he could remain in it free of rent until March 1. Cosgrove neither painted the house nor paid any rent. Mr. Tilly commenced disposses proceedings before Justice Hendrickson and the case was heard on Wednesday, Counselor Monfort appearing for Mr. Tilly, and Counselor Gillen for young Cosgrove. The case was settled by Cosgrove agreeing to paint the house. Cosgrove has filed a mechanic's lien against the property for $125 for material and labor furnished in building the house and proposes to foreclose the lien at once.
