drawn up, and sent for signatures In
January, whereupon defendants refused
to sign. He was obliged to rent sail
store rooms for the said term for s13, $50,
which was a loss Of about SO, 900 to him
under the Goldberg agreement, hence

The petition was drawn up in 1895 by

leaving, the summons was served, but
Goldberg, upon reading T., threw it away,
saying, THAT isn't my name" The
sheriff claims everything was regular,
however, and the GUldbergs will no
doubt be obliged to answer to the pei
iion in this court.
