WILL SUE THE CITY.
John Leonard Wants South Omaha to
Pay for Damages.

Pay for Damages.
John Leonard, banana and fruit vender
of South Omaha, is a prisoner in the county
jail. He is at variance with the policeman
who arrested him, the judge who sentenced
him, and the city itself, and says he will sue
South Omaha for Sl0,O 600 damages as soon as
he gets out of jail. According to his story
he has fruit stand on Tenth street in South
Omaha, where he earns his living, and man
ages his business like any other merchant.
About two weeks ago he returned
to his gasoline lamp store and
found Officer Mahoney seated behind the
stand with fruit to spare about him. The
landlord instructed the intruding officer to
leave his promises, whercupon the officer of
the law told Leonard he was drunk and must
go with him to the station. This he re-
fused to do until force had to be used. Judge
Reuther refused to fine him but sentenced
him to the county Jail for twenty days.
Leonard began serving out his sentence a
week ago last Monday. He will claim dam
ages at the hands of the city on the charge
of false Imprisonment and loss of business
