DAMAGED $4,000 WORTH
Susan Christian Demands That
Sum From John Zagur.
THREE RIBS FRACTURED
Libbie Newberry Seeks to Get a Chattel
Mortgage on Her Plano Annulled.
Answers Filed to Sophia James
$50 900 Damage Suit.

Susan Christian, the woman who was
so brutally kicked and beaten some
days ago by a man named John Zagur,
yesterday commenced a suit in the
district court against Zagur for 5000
damages on account of the injuries he
had inflicted on her. She says in her
complaint that on the 9th of last
month Zagur unlawfully, violently and
without provocation assaulted, choked,
struck and beat her and kicked her,
breaking three of her ribs. She says
he disabled her and tore her clothes to
her damage in the sum of $1,000. She
also wants judgment for 500 more,
which she paid out for medical attend
ance. Zagur was fined $100 in police
court few days ago for the assault.
Libbie Newberry yesterday commence
ed an action against X. j. McSherry,
T. Solveson, Sheriff Regain and Frank
Newberry for the purpose of having a
chattel mortgage on piano annulled
and to restrain the defendants from
taking the music box from her. In her
complaint she says she is the owner
of the instrument, but last January
the defendant Frank Newberry mort
gagged it to McRae & Solveson for sos
without her knowledge or consent and
now the sheriff threatens to take pos
session. She says the piano is highly
valued beyond its intrinsic value in
money, as it was given her as a gift,
which money or its value could not re-
place were she deprived of it. She asks
that the mortgage be declared void and
that the defendants be restrained from
interfering with the piano. A tenn
porary injunction was issued.
In the $4,000 damage suit of Sophia
James against w. ]. Dawson and 9TH
ers for arrest and false Imprisonment,
which grew out of fight over the pos
session of a house, the defendants, A.
A. Formel and Catherine Formel, filed
their answers yesterday. They deny
that there was any conspiracy against
Mrs. James to dispossess her of her
property, but allege that prior to the
affair which led to her arrest there was
a full settlement with Mrs. James by
which she was paid 5000 by which she
relinquished all claims to the prop
erty.
]. T. Burkhalter yesterday brought
suit against May H. Battego and 9TH
ers for SIS due for work and material
and to foreclose a mechanics lien on
house at sos South Montana street.
Another suit against Mrs. Battego for
S35 and to foreclose a lien on 525 and
52l South Montana street was also
brought. An attorneys fee of $50 in
each case is asked for.
