Sued, but Dodges have had to deal
with in long
time. Altho notice of the suit was fled
on February 81, when a summons was
issued for him by the court, the at
taches of the plaintiffs lawyer have
been unable to find Mr.. Miner to serve
him with a copy of the complaint. The
plaintiff is the Bullock & Jones COM
pany, which alleges that it furnished
goods to the amount stated to Miner
for his personal adornment and on his
representation that he would settle
promptly. Statements of the amount
due, with polite request for the iqui-
dation of the debt, have been ignored.
Efforts to obtain personal interview
with the young man and effect set
Element have not been successful ~
The sui Is understood to be for fancy
waistcoats, linen, etc, worn by Mr..
Miner prior to his marriage to Mrs.
Yerkes.
