Sensational Suit for DAMAGES.

A suit of a sensational nature for
damages was filed in the Bourbon Cir
cult Court late Tuesday afternoon by
James Mcclure, cashier of the First
National Bank, of Paris, against James
D. McClintock, insurance man and d.
rector in the Agricu ltural Bank. The
American Bonding Company, of Balti-
more, Md, of whcih T. P. Slatterwhite
and Tracy Underhill are State agents,
are made co-defendants.
The petition states that before the
complaints were made the plaintiff was
appointed trustee for Sarah Louise
Whitehead and statutory guardian for
frankie Thompson, an infant, and that
in both nduciafy capacities the cc-bond-
ing company was surety on the plain
tiff's bond and on his bond as surety as
cashier of the First National Bank, up
on the solicitation of the said defend
ant who was the local representative
of the said bonding company.
Ike plaintiff further AYERS in his pc
tition that he formed a partnership
with Roy F. Clendenin, a brother-in-
law Of the said defendant, and engaged
in the insurance business. and that
said partnership and said business,
being the same as that in which the
defendant was engaged, aroused his i'll
will and malice and caused the said de-
PENDANT and his cO-defendants to ma
liciously, wrongfully, unlawfully con-
splre, combine, confederate and agree
together and among themselves to in
jures said plaintiff in his occupation,
employment and business, and, especi-
ally, IN his fiduciary capacity as here
in-abOve set out, and to ruin, Cypress,
| impOverish, harasS, annoy and humIiiate
! said plaintiff and deprive him of his
| pOsition~as cashier, guardian and trus-
tee by cancelling or causing to be can
celled without just cause or excuse the
said cashier bond, and by withholding
from the plaintiff and from the direc-
tors of said bank the knowledge and
information of said withdrawal.
Inc petition further alleges that the
defendant, James ,. McClintock, made
/ false reports to his cC-defendant COM
pany and that said reports were given
/ circulation in Paris and Bourbon coun-
| ty to the great injury and humiliation
of the plaintiff. The petition was filed
! by Attorneys James VIM of Winches-
ter and h. M. Dickson and Mcmillan &
! Talbot, of Paris, and further prays
for the recovery of costs in the case
and all proper relief
Beth the plaintiff and defendant. are
successful business men of Paris and
the suit is the result of a bitter feel
ing recently developed, as both men
for more than twenty years have been
close personal friends.
