sion funds and for all the councils work of that

Damage Suit Which Has Caused a Sensa-

Special to the indianapolis Journaf.
WILLIAMsPoRT, Oct. pa complaint was
filed in the Warren Circuit Court to-day which
promises to be the most sensational case ever
tried In the county. The parties are two promi-
nent business men Of this place. Dr. Leroy
Swank is the plaintiff. He is young man, and
graduated at Rush Medical College, Chicago. a
year ago last February. For two years before
he went to college, and during the vacations, he
served as clerk in the drug store of William H.
Crawford and since he graduated has enjoyed a
lucrative practice as physician, part of the
time working in the store for Mr.. Crawford. For
the past two or three weeks reports have been
going the rounds that all was not right between
the two men, and that Mr.. Crawford had accused
the Doctor of taking medicine and other articles
from the store and appropriating them to his
own use. To-day DR.. Swank filed his complaint
in court against Mr.. Crawford. claiming he had
been called q thief by Mr. Crawford. and that
he had been damaged in the sum of $50, 900, and
asked for judgment for that sum. Both are
young men of prominence and are distant rela-
tives. and it was hoped that the reports were
without foundation. The filing of the complaint
was a surprise TO everyone.
