OGDEN, June 5.-[Special. Henry
Mayo today brought suit in the Fourth
district court for S, GOO damages against
H. W. Shurtlif, City Jailer Baxter a nd
Police officer Chase, the grounds being
wrongful arrest and detention at the city
jail On Saturday night Mayo, who is a
teacher at the Ogden Military Academy,
was arrested OF complaint OF Shurtliff,
who alleged that he had purchased
road cart from Mayo, and instead OF de-
Evering it the latter sold the vehicle to
secondhand dealer. The charge was
petty larceny and Mayo was detained at
the city Jail, but not not locked up, for
half an hour, and then released on bonds.
This morning the police judge discharged
the teacher, having found ''no cause of
action 1t seems from the
evidence that Mayo had mailed
the orders received from Shurtlif by him
IN payment for the cart back to the gen
Jleman, and then sold the vehicle to the
dealer. Shurtliff did not receive the letter
prior to the arrest. In his complaint
Mayo alleges that the officers bruised and
wounded him at the time of the arrest.
This is denied by the officers, and the re-
porters who happened to be at the Jail at
the time Mayo was taken there failed to

ton possible. Ogden's police officers are
always generous and courteous to prls-
~oners.
