Alleges That He Was Induced to Put
Up Large Sum of Money on Fake
Wrestling Match On
August IA.
OTHERS INVOLVED IN TT.
On Another Count He Alleges That
Pennington and Montrose Men
Were coenizant of Purpose
Of Deal.

Pennington News: Walter & NC
betn signing as attorneys for o..
0. Newberry, filed a petition at
keosauqua, Tuesday, claiming from
Ed. S. Leach, r. S. Robinson, B. F..
Ketcham and William Cook the sum
of $4,000. The petition was not veri-
fled or sworn to. 1t alleges that Ed
Leach (of Montrose )and Robinson
conspired to get him to so to Pennsyl.'
vania on a real estate deal, but upon
ais arrival August Ia, 1906, induced
him to put up his money on fake
wrestling match thereby defrauding
him of 5000
In another count he alleges that B.
f. Ketcham of Pennington and Will
liam Cook of Montrose were cognizant
of the purpose of the deal and with
intent aided and abetted in the same
and participated in the spells.
Newberry has talked a great deal
about ais Toss" and has frequently
told many people what he could do to
Messrs Ketcham and Cook, through
whom he borrowed part of the money
he lost. Very few Pennington people
believe Newberry's entire story He
says nothing about the others from
whom he borrowed the remainder OF
the money, and only began to accuse
Ketcham and Cook after receiving an
anonymous communication. in which
he was told to leave another su moi
money in scheduled place and he
would then be instructed how to get
his money back.
It is said that Ketcham and Cook
may file counter suit against New
berry, Rockwell, Carr and their at
torneys, and others. for conspiracy to
blackmail by means of fake and malic-
Gus law suits and threatened suits.

This Scandinavian citizen went
across the river yesterday afternoon
about four O'Clock and asked the man
