Odd Way to Collect Bill.
Some years ago man by the name
OF John Smith owed st. Louis mer-
chant a sum of money. This mer-
chant discovered that an Illinois firm
was indebted to a John Smith, so he
garnisheed the money in the hands
OF the firm and collected 1t. Later
the John Smith who was the creditor
of the Illinois firm came TO collect
his bill. He was told that his money
had been garnisheed for the satisfac-
ton of the debt due the St Louis
merchant Rut he had never owed
anything to the st. Louis merchant,
II was a clear case of mistaken iden-
tity His money had been taken TO
satisfy the debt OF another John
cmtth ne brought SUIT against tne
st Louis merchant to recover his
money. He had never owed this Her-
chant cent IN his life. and was pre-
pared to prove II, but the court held
that 1t could not right the wrong II
had done him.
