ty. w. H Veech, of Fremont, town
Veech, of Decatur, Ill.,, who is now
in this city, notice that he would
bring suit against him for damages in
the sum of $4,000. The petition in
which w. H. Veech sues for the dam
ages has not yet been filed but the no.
tice was given at this time on account
of the fact that the defendant is now
in this city. Had he gone to his home
in Decatur and had w. H. Veech been
unable to service notice of suit upon
him while he was in this county, it
would have been necessary for the
plaintiff to bring suit in the defendants
county and go there to fight the case
Since the notice of the suit was served
on Veech, while he was in this county,
he Is now compelled by law to come
here and fight it at the proper time
or suffer 1T to go by default.
The promised suit of w. H. Veech
is the result Of the legal scrap car
ried on between the two men this
week, battle in which John /. Veech
came out victorious. About $1,000 was
involved in the litigation. John T..
Veech. the plaintiff claimed to have
loaned considerable sums to the de-
fendant. w. H. Veech, without secur-
ity. He finally attached to satisfy his
claims and the suit was brought on the
attachment.
The damages which will be asked
are for alleged injuries to the estate
of the plaintiff, W. H. veech. 1t IS
said that among the injuries alleged
will be the Fastening of the death
of Mrs. w. H. Veech on account of
a trip to the east made by her at the
alleged instigation Of the defendant.
The petition will probably be filed in
time for trial during the April term
OF court.
