Wants Damages.

According to the Portland Telegram
"a sensational suit was begun in the
State circuit court on Saturday by
Elias L. Burris vs.. ID. b. Kimball, a
prominent capitalist and business man
of Dayton, Wash. The suit is for $685.
600 damages on account of certain i'll
treatment to which the plaintiff alleges
he was subjected.
at will be remembered that about
the 30th of last December the press
dispatches contained an account of the
seizure of man named Burris, at Day
ton, Wash, by an armed mob, and of
their taking him out beyond the town
limits and stringing him up several
times to make him confess that he was
the party who had committed series
of petty larcenies which had occurred
in town. He obstinately refused to
confess, inasmuch as he knew himself
to be innocent, and finally the gang al
lowed him to go free, but compelled
him to leave town under threats of Sc
rious personal injury.
"The suit filed on Saturday is the
outcome of this series of events. Bur-
ris is IL printer, and, at the time of the
outrage complained Of, was employed
in Dayton, and making a comfortable
living. BY reason of the treatment he
received at the hands of the mob allud-
ell to above, Burris conceives that he
has been injured to the extent OF $685.
600, for which amount he sues.
