w. C. EDWARDS SUED.
Illinois Woman Charges Crookedness
in a Land Deal

A suit was filed today in the district
court against w. c. Edwards, ex-secre-
tary of state. The suit is brought by
Mrs. NJ z. Jenkins of Lincoln, Illinois.
She claims that she was induced by
Edwards to pay $500 for a quarter sec
ton of land on the Montezuma railroad
after the road had been torn up and
when the station near the land had
been abandoned. She says that when
she was induced to buy the property it
was not worth more than 81 an acre.
She also says that Edwards claimed
the property was a great snap and it
should be taken at once or he would
buy it himself when he was at that
time the owner of the land.
