A POLICEMAN
WANTS DAMAGES.
Says a Fellow Circulated Bad
Reports About Him.
ACCUSED HIM OF LOITERING
About Public Places and of Being Brutal
In Making Arrests Says That
It Was ali Done For


George w. Miller, an Alliance police
ded and through Attorney Roach, he
came into common pleas court Wednes-
day morning and sued Thomas Wilson
for $1,000 damages for slandering his
good name. The plaintiff says that
Wilson not only said things derogatory
TO him, but wrote 1t and had it printed.
1t is charged that the defendant said
that plaintiff had been guilty of swear
ing, lettering around saloons and that
he had been brutal in making arrests,
and in fact was not a suitable person for
an officer of the law. Miller says in his
petition that the whole trouble is that
he arrested one of Wilson's sons a short
time ago and that now Wilson is trying
to get revenge by circulating such re-
ports about him..
IN CIRCUIT COURT.

their views. ]. A. Bowman and c. c..
