Der that two weeks ago Carroll Bros,
attorneys for Robert d. Fowler, OF
Cedar Rapids, filed in the district
court a breach of promise suit against
Sadie a. Mason, alleging the failure of
the defendant to observe a promise
made to him in marriage. He alleged
ne made business plans counting up
on receiving financial aid from her
at marriage and that her failure 10
accede to her promise had damaged
his business prospects and blighted
his life to the extent of $4,000. This
morning Miss Mason through her at
torneys, Lane q Waterman, filed a
demurrer asking that the case be
thrown out of court. The demurrer
is interesting and follows: ''Now
comes defendant and to the petition
of plaintiff on the following grounds,
viz: That the facts stated in the
petition do not entitle plaintiff 10
the relief demanded. Because it APP
pears that defendant never consent
ed TO be married before the Goth day
of September of the present year and
until that time has been reached
and passed it cannot be said that she
had failed to keep her engagement.
