SUES WESTERN UNION.
Damages Of $4,000 Asked Because Of
DELAYED Telegram.
Zines Republican:

Special to Times-RepubIican:
Sioux City, April L.. - Because, 1t
is alleged, the Western Union Tele-
graph Company kept a telegram for
five hours before sending it. it is now
facing. a suit in the district court for
damages. of $4,000.
The plaintiff in the case is S. r.
Lucas, a real estate broker residing
at Anthem. The case was brought up
for trial this morning.
In his petition Lucas states that he
had been corresponding with Mr.. Sas,
of Dexter, regarding the sale Of GER
tain lands near Shelby. The nego-
tiations were finally brought to a
close on November -, 1904, and Sas
wrote Lucas letter making a defin-
lite offer. Lucas was not at home when
the letter arrived, and did not receive
it until November IA. He Immediately
sent telegram to Sas closing the deal,
but before the telegram could reach
its destination, Sas, who had tired of
waiting. accepted another offer.
Lucas claims he gave the Western
Union the telegram at 8 o'clock in the
morning but that it did not reach Sas
until 6 o'clock that night. He says
that at noon on that day Sas made !
deal with another person, thus de-
priving Lucas of his opportunity.
Lucas states that had the deal
gone thru the profits ACQUIRING to him
would have amounted to $4,000 and
this he wants the telegraph company
to pay, as he claims that 1t was due
to the company's neglect that the tele-
gram was not received sooner.
For the Western Union Telegraph
Company, A. T. Call explained to the
jury that the projected transaction
amounted to but $4,000, and that a
profit of $4,000 on such a deal was
ridiculous

Attorney Thomas Talks on Attempts

Omaha, April 12.-"I venture the
opinion that there will be requisition

wants Slercliffe on charges of robbery
It is thu, old story Of trying to get
Shercliffes out of the, state where he
cannot testify against Dennison.
"Cudallee is friend of Dennison and
appointed the latter special officer
when Clldahee was chief of police of
Pueblo. Shercliffe went to Colorado
after the Pollock robbery and was ar
rested on the charge of burglary. He
gave 500 bonds. Dennison furnished
the morey to guarantee this bond.
Then Dennison wrote the now famous
Jump your bond letter to ShercAffe,
and the latter forfeited his bond.
II am informed that Dennison has
been to Seattle recently to see Mullen,
who Is to testify for Dennison. Ac-
cording to the arrangement, under
stood Mullen is to testify that Sher-.
cliffe represented himself to Mullen as
q brother of Dennison and pleaded for
bonds, which were furnished. Mullen
will testify that no money was re-
ceived from Dennison, according to my
information, when the case comes up
for trial.

In this first case has deferred them,

sitions from Montana, Utah and pos
