Henry Nolan, the late sweater
man of Hawley, who went through
bankruptcy and now is located at
Vancouver Island, British Columbia,
Is suing Max Nydegger of New York
City, a travelling salesman, for de-
famation of his character which he
values at $4,000. Nolan had the
papers served on Nydegger at Seat
tie, Washington. Nydegger was in
Honesdale lately looking up data
to help him prove his defamation was
correct.
1t is very "Erksome" for any
one to get an invitation to a party,
travel about three miles, reach the
house you think you are looking for,
gain admittance, take off hat and
coat, walk into the parlor and sit
there for one or more hours only to
be told that you are in the wrong
house, and that the house where the
festivities were to take place was
two miles nearer Honesdale. This
happened last week to two young
men who have not been residents of
Honesdale very long.
