1t wasn't all bluff, it seems, after all
when the proprietor of the Centennial I
saloon, waiter girl establishment, in
Tiffin. threatened 10 subject the propri
etor of the Tifiin Tribune to a suit for
libel; for 10 and behold he has, through
his attorney. Judge VIM Lang, entered
suit against o I Locke, the proprietor
aforesaid for falsely, wickedlv and ma
liciously composing and publishing &c"
and asks that he receive from the said
o T Locke, the sum of ten thousand
dollars as damages. To all of which the
said o T Locke responds in his own de-
fense, in an article containing % counts,
showing cOnclusively that the Centen-
NAL waiter girl saloon man, Reedy, and
MS man Friday, whose house he AYERS
he said Reedy uses as a place wherein i
10 keep said waiter girl saloon, are not I
entitled to said damages,and if they are, {
hey can't get it for the reason that the {
aid Locke has not got any such sum:
We append few of his counts:
IL That the plaintiff aforesaid, by his g.
VIM Lang, did draw the said .
petition aforesaid, and prepare it for
iling on the 4th day of July, 1877, the c
lay of our national independence, and
he occasion upon which every Ameri
an heart should beat in unison with
,very other heart; that then, at that L
ime aforesaid, the said heart of the said t
plaintiff, or his said attorney, did not so a
,eat, and in the face of the glorious !
,agle, under the benign influence of the
tars and stripes, and in presence of
horghts of the fathers of the revolution, d
le, the plaintiff, by his attorney, did de- a
iberately and maliciously, and with !.
hought to ruin o I Locke, the said de-
endant, place the damages at 5000. a
Is That subsequently thereto, the @
aid plaintiff, together with his attorney a
lforesaid, being moved thereto by the :,
Evil One and anger at the defendant,
lid bring their knowledge of Daboll to I
pear on the said 5000; that they did '
that sum-that is to say the r
aid S5lO6O-by two, and enYolved from ,
hat operation the sum of $4,000,
which the same. is declared to be the |
lamages the aforesaid plaintiff has sus- /
aimed.
II That the aforesaid plaintiff is not
nx;ous to bring suit against the said de- q
endent, but that he is instigated thereto c
" his attorney aforesaid. n
10 That the said attorney of the said !,
plaintiff has thus instigated the said suit
lgainst the said defendent, because the c
aid waiter girl saloon is in the building 1
If the said VIM Lang. the aforesaid at =
orney.
II That the said suit was delayed in '
by the said attorney because
ne, the said attorney, expected to be
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, or q
N event Of not getting that, candidate {
ior Common Pleas Judge; that had he q
secured either of the aforesaid nomina- ,
lions the said suit would rot have been
brought; that failing in both the afore
said, he, the said attorney, caused the
bringing of the said suit rs the next best
thing. II
% That the $4,000 damages asked
for are unreasonable, and should judg-
ment be found, are calculated to injure
the said o I Locke, the defendant afore-
said, in purse and property. {
And finally I
% That the said defendant, o L Locke,
is not possessed of $4,000.
Whereupon ne, the said o I Locke,
the defendant aforesaid, for the reasons
given above, and for other good and sub
stantial reasons, prays that the said peh- |
ton of the aforesaid plaintiff be dismiss
ed without prejudice to the said defend .
ant o L LOCKE,
