The Newspaper Libel Suits In San Frnn-
cisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 24.-Com-
plant in the libel suit of the proprietors of
the BuHetin and Cal against the Alta was
filed to-day. Damages are set at $25, 600.
Inc complaint, which is quite lengthy,
states In effect that plaintiffs have never
published any false news or unjust or nm
truthful comments concerning the Bank of
California or its managem, mt, and have
never conspired to injure the bank or i'm
pair Its credit, nor have they ever endeav-
ored to produce financial panic in this
STATE or elsewhere, or to increase one,
when existing, for the purpose of specnlat,
ing in values or for any other purpose. But
that the defendants proprietors of the
alta, knowing the above but enyying the
good name of plaintiffs and their success as
Journalistic, have charged them with the
above mentioned acts in an article published
IN the Ana OF the twenty first instant. which
article is quoted as part of complaint.
The probability of this suit being CON-
menced has excited much comment. Public
opinion has been divided as to the object
in view, but the belief seems to be unani
nous that if pressed to trial racy deyelop.
ments will ensue.
