A QUEER SUIT.
Damages Claimed for Health Lost
Through imprisonment.

STEUREYvILLE, O., August 1s.-When
Mayor Irwin held the reins Of government
three or four years ago, he incarcerated
JOS McAlpin in the lookup for some TWEEN
" or twenty five days for Joseph's inability
To- keep sober. Since that time McAlpin
has lost his health, and claims it was
caused by his imprisonment in the pen
under the Mayors office. Now, the lock-
70 isn't the incest place in the world for q
man to sojourn in, especially fos twenty
dsvs, and we have no doubt but what it
might take a mans heath from him. Some
time ago McAlpin sued the city for $500
damages, but withdrew his suit for some
reason. However, this week he renewed
the suit, and the case will come into court.
