SUIT COMMENCED.
DR.. Geo, Merrymnn Sues A. X. Tom.
ifns0n, of the Cable Vigilance Com
mittee for $4,000

Through his attorney, Hon. Chas. Dun
ham, Dr.. Geo Merryman. of Moline, h es
entered suit against A. K Tomlinson and
others o. the Richlsnd Grove vigilance
committee, for $4,000 fJr Islander and
defamation Of character. 1t will be re
membered that the vigilance committee
associated the doctors name in manner
most unpleasant to him with the recent
robbery of the Parker family,,at Cable and
he considers that not only has his good
name suffered, but his busin ess has in
consequence of the wholly unwarranted
imputations, and he has therefore deter-
mined that the only remedy is the one at
Law, to which he now appeals.
MIR. .Tomlinson was in the city today
and Deputy Sheriff Silvis served the pa
pers on him.
A. r. Tomlinsop, of Cable, one of the
members Of the vigilance cOmmitte who
has been charged also with having entered
the house of Amos Longshore, of Lynn
township, Henry county, with q view of
finding some evidence that would fasten to
Longshore the crime of robbing the Par
ker family near Cable. was in the city to-
| day and called at THE ARGUS office to
state that he nor no member of the COM
Hittee had entered the Longshere house,
that they had at the latter's request called
at his boarding place to learn of the
whereabouts of young man that was
missing from the neighborhood, but had
done no ransacking and had not gone
near Longshore's own house and did not
suspect him of the crime.

pisaole strain. Mayor Fieke responded
in behalf of Davenport, A. G. Dart, for
Rock Island. and Hon. h. A. Ainsworth
for Moline. r. G. HORNED, of Cedar
Rapids, next made few pleasant re-
marks, and the exercises closed with the
request BY the mayor that the visitors
make themselves st home and enjoy
themselves TO their hearts content. The
speeches were interspersed with music by
the band and two numbers by the Dsven-
port ousrtette-Messrs. Peck, Downer,
Atkinson and Knocke.

pletely at the mercy of the hungry hosts
and afterwards the city was inspected,
carriages being at the disposal of the Wis
itors. At the depot, just before starting
on the return trip, The appreciation and
feeling of gratitude for their magnificent
and cordial treatment, was voiced by each
and everyone of the visitors in three lusty
| cheers for Cedar Rapids and her hospi-
table people. And all were as deeply
impressed with the city's solidity and pro-
gressive appearance. The manufsctur-
ing. business and residence sections have
their respective qualities of merit. all of
which contribute to live, busting, SUBJ
stsntial and beautiful city.
The journey home was made with the
same safety and speed which character
lied the morning run, and if not openly
expressing it, every member of the party
mentally registered the sentiment that he
had had thoroughly good time.
