NEVADA MAN SUED.
Woman Would Collect Damages for
ALLEGED Criminal Assault.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Sept. 5.-M. E. Boynton, a
we'll known citizen of this city, has
just been made defendant in a dam
age case for $4,000, brought by Mrs.
Josephine Geer, who alleges an at
tempted criminal assault upon her by
the defendant on August "a last.
The case was filed with the clerk
of courts yesterday and created no
end of excitement in the city, where
the defendant has lived all of his life
and has been highly respected.
The woman who brings the action
is the wife or man named Gordon
Geer, who, for the last year and
half has lived upon farm and worked
for Boynton, who is a bachelor, and
lives in town. She claims that during
the absence of her husband at the state
fair upon the day mentioned, the de-
fendant, who was working about the
farm, entered the house and made the
attempted assault.
Asked about the matter, after the
suit had been filed, Mr.. Boynton says:
There is absolutely nothing to 1t:
positively no grounds for the suit, and
/ cannot see where these people get
their foundation for it. They have left
the farm and my employe, and will
fight the suit to the end, considering
nothing in tie way of a settlement.

several others, and it was largely upon
his confession that several indictments
of other rioters were based.

her assailant, was released from Jail at

him having been quashed upon motion

da mage suit

made defendant in heavy personal
damage suit.
One John A. Jones, of Story City, is
the plaintiff, and he says that While
quietly and peaceably walking along
a private walk one day about the last
of June, SEVERED assaulted him, beat
ing and bruising him until he was laid
I'D for six weeks. A broken jaw was
one of the alleged results Of the bal
players assault, and JonGs says that It
cost him $50 in cold cash to settle with
the doctor. He now asks the court to
award him damages in the sum OF
S.. 400, considering that he has been
damaged physically and mentally to
that extent.
According to the story Of SEVERED,
Jones had assaulted a young brother
of the ball player, and was giving him
a tanning when Charley appeared on
the scene and demonstrated. Jones then
picked up a club of large proportions,
and started for SEVERED, whereupon
the latter let him have one or two
straight from the shoulder, and that
whatever damage was done to the
a anatomy of Jones was due entirely to
his own combative proclivities, at least
so allege SEVERED and his friends The
netition was filed in the office of the
clerk of the courts here yesterday.

ton of the governor. for the single
purpose of so amending the primary
law as to enable the electors OF our
party to express their senatorial pref
erence in November, and l have not

interests of the. state or the welfare
of the party would be conserved by the
introduction of any other matter al

American Aeroplanist Sails His Ma
!. chine Fifteen Miles in Fraction Loss
Than Twenty Minutes.

Lenans, France, Sept. 5. Wilbur
Wright, the American aeroplanist,
made magnificent and highly sue
cessful fight here this morning. His
machine was in the air for nineteen
minutes and 4s rs seconds, thus ap-
preaching within fraction Of min
ute Henry Farman's record for the
longest public official fight.
The distance covered by Wright
was estimated at between fourteen and
one-half and fifteen miles. The feat
was accompanied by remarkable SER
les Of evolutions demonstrating the
precision OF Wright's control of the
machine. He alighted easily within
800 feet Of the starting apparatus. He
said he could have remained in the air
longer, but descended on account of the
abnormal noise by the motor.
