GAS COMPANY SUED.
w. w. DanenhOwer Claims $4,000
Damages for Alleged Trexpass.

William W. Danenhower, through his
attorney, E. H. Thomas, yesterday filed
suit against the Washington Gas Light
Company and Michael Lynch to recover
$4,000, claimed as damages for alleged
trespass. The claim for damages is based
upon the specific allegation that on Octo-
Der / last the Washington Gas Light Com
pany. through its agent, Michael Lynch.
by force cut of and interrupted the flow
of gas into and through the Fredonia Ho-
tel, which is operated and controlled by
Danenhower. 1t is also alleged that Lynch
and other employees of the gas company
assaulted Danenhower, striking him in the
face and otherwise illtreating him.
When the agents of the Washington Gas
Light Company went to the Fredonia Ho-
tel for the purpose of cutting on the flow
of gas into the premises, it is stated. they
were informed by Mr.. Danenhower that
he had already sent the company a check
in payment for his supply Of gas. This,
ii appears, was not satisfactory to the
employees of the gas company and they
proceeded to cut of the gas supply to the
Fredonia Hotel. As the result of the at
tempt there was a fight between the
agents of the gas company and Mr.. Dam
enhower
