Judge Petree, yesterday filed suit In
the Circuit Court against N. Zim-
mer for IS, eco damages for false ar.
rest. The factss as gathered are that
O'Donnell, who is selling county
rights for a washing machine, for
certain consideration transferred
the right of this county to thinner.
Whereupon thinner ordered a num-
bsr of machines from the manufac-
turers. When the machines arrived,
contrary TO his expectations, Zim-
mer was required to pay freight
charges and the Wholesale price Of
the machines. thinner thought that
the number OF machines ordered
were included in the purchase price
Of the county right, and swore out
q warrant against O'Donnell for OBJ
tanning money under fraudulent pre-.
lenses. When arrested O'Donnell
said he was unable to give bond,
as he was q stranger hero, but II the
charge was dismissed he would re-
fund to thinner the money no had
paid him for the county right. This
was done. After being released
O'Donnell brought the suit for dam
ages. NeH 9rct3 lwrFG
