There was filed with Clerk Moth
yesterday afternoon a suit for $4,000
damages against the Iowa Telephone
company. The plaintiff is Laura Evers,
Il telephone operator, who was dis
charged from the service of the de-
PENDANT company Jan. 10 of this year.
The plaintiff, who is represented by
Attorney j. \. Hanley, alleges that
when she was discharged by the chief
operator, Miss Emily Hout, she went
directly to l.. w. Hatch, the manager,
to learn the wherefore. That gentle
man said he could not discuss the mat
ter with her, as it was of too delicate
a nature. The plaintiff further alleges
that the chief operator had made
statements regarding her in which her
period of illness preceding her dis
charge had been viciously miscon-
strued. thus leading to her unwar-
ranted discharge.
