the board of trade to consider the practicable.
ity of forming driving company for the pur-
pose of driving logs from Taylors Falls to the

A-$5.OOO Libel suit.

An action for $4,000 damages was begun in
the district court yesterday by George Perry,
an infant, represented by his guardian, James
Perry, against W. J. McMahan
The action is for alleged libel or malicious
slander, and the complaint in substance is as
follows: 1t is alleged that said George Perry is
under 81 YEAR, ofage, and that James Perry was
duly appointed his guardian by Judge Crosby.
That on the Sd Of November, 1880, before
Justice of the peace in Rosemount, the defend
ant swore out warrant for plaintiffs arrest
on the chrge of larceny, and that in so doing
he acted maliciously and without cause or &C,
tion. That the case came before said justice of
the peace on the 10th day of No
vember, 1880, and that the plaintiff was ac-
quilted of the charge and discharged
That by said charge and arrest the plaintiff
was deeply wounded in feeling; that people
with whom he was not intimately acquainted
might suppose from said charge and arrest
that he was a criminal, and that said charge
injured his good name and reputation. Where
fore plaintiff demands judgment against de-
fendant for S. 900 damages.
