Cutting Newspaper Files.

Cutting newspaper files on the sly in
the office of publication or a library is a
crime-it resolves itself into a theft. be-
sides being damage to private property
which cannot be repaired.
A woman is suing the Cincinnatio public
library for $4,000 damage because she
was arrested for this sort of vandalism by
the authorities of the library, and while
she admits her guilt she declares that she
was so agitated by the contents of the
article that she did not know what she
was doing: or, in other words. was totally
irresponsible, which is q weak defense for
such an unwarranted and indefensible act

Sheriff ct al Sued

Complaint has been filed in the cir

against the American Surety Com
pany, Of New York, R. w. Bruins, its
agent, Frank S. Kelley, and Sheriff
M. r. Pomeroy Of clatsop county.

time he had done some contract work
al Fort Stevens wherefore the goy-
ernment owed him $40 and in pay
ment sent him postal orders for that
amount. In its effort 10 collect its

alleged to have interested Sheriff
Pomeroy, though as far as the COM
Fplaint is concerned not the slightest
Iinlimation Is made anywhere Of any
criminal or civil proceedings having
been brought against the plaintiff.
The complaint states that the defend
ants did "unlawfully, malieiously,
wantonly and wiekedly conspire for
the purpose Of wrongfully extorting
money from the plaintiff, and to that
END did unlawfully conspire together
10 arrest and imprison said plaintiff"
THE complaint further states that he
was ARRESTED and imprisoned" in the
office Of the sheriff from 2 o'clock in
the afternoon to o'clock at night,
Damages in the sum of $4,000 are
asked BY Porter for the alleged false
Imprisonment, Porter had signed
over the postal orders as a ressilt Of
what he alleges to have been the con-
spiracy to intimidatc and arrest him.
