neapolis Street Car company'S barns, to
recover So, 900 for SANDER and defama-
tion of character. Her story is a some
what sensational one, to say the least,
and will cause something of an eX-
element in the neighborhood where
the parties reside. Mrs. West, who, by
the way, is handsoDe, remarkably
well-fOrmed woman. charges in her COM
plant that on Jan. 6, while her husband
was away, SWensOn came to her house,
and, after talking with her for short
time, made improper and indecent pro-
posals to her, which she, as true and
chaste wife, spurned with scOrn and in
dignation. Several times during the
month of January, Mrs. West says,
Swenson made similar proposals to her,
she refusing all the time. On Jan. 16,
while Mr.. West. was at home, Swens0n
came to the house, she alleges, and
there, in his presence, stated that she
home during her husbands absence,
and that he (Mr. Vest had better watch
her and see if such was not the case.
The same day he told other people that
she had spent the previous night in
Nelson's company. Mrs. West denies
the charges most emphatically, and
charges that Swenson made the state
ments simply out of revenge because
she would not submit to him. Papers
in the suit were served yesterday.
