|. S. COFFIN IS
GRATEFUL TO FRIENDS
Also Thanks Newspapers for I'm
partial Reports Of His
Recent Case.

Fort Dodge Messenger: L. s. COT
fin, the victorious defendant in the
recent sensational separate mainten-
ance suit, today publicly thanks 9
multitude OF friends for their let
ters of congratulation over the out
come of theNsui He says he is ov-
erwhelmed with letters from all
parts Of the country.
Mr.. Coffin also makes the state
ment that one of the reports circu-
lated about his finances was over
estimated and is causing him some
annoyance. He declares when all
debts are paid he will have $4,000
or $4,000 and that the disposal OF
this is already provided.
Mr.. Coffin also thanks the press
for its impartial presentation OF the
case. His letter is printed below:
Permit me through your columns
to return my most sincere apprecia-
ton to my many friends-to the
readers Of your paper for the great
interest they have shown. in the
number Of letters Of congratulation
I have received recently. It Is next
to impossible for me to acknowledge
and to reply to each letter from such
a host Of well-wishers. They come
from almost every state in the
union, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc; and from many I have never
known or seen.
Though the severe trial through
which have just passed has been q
heavy burden to the spirit, am
forced to conclude that 1t Is well to
be affiicted to learn something Of the
number and worth OF the friends one
has.
I wish also here to acknowledge
my obligation to the press OF the
state for the kind and friendly spirit
shown In their impartial reports of
the case and the decisions Of the
court. But, for some cause. one great
error has crept into the report Civ
en- to the papers. and by them to
the publics They have stated that
"the old gentleman is worth $780,
O00," and this mistake is causing
me considerable trouble. After my
obligations are all paid. I may have
from $4,000 to $4,000. For this.
however, have already provided a
use. / am very thankful that have
this much. Very truly yours.

charge Of the sales and mechanical
departments of a local concern
Mr.. Rinard is well and fayorably
known throughout the city and
county by Automobiles, as skilled

lie as a careful and considerable
chauffeur who has probably accom-

Mr.. Rinard has in his employ
some OF the best automobile men in
the country. one of whom recently
declined an attractive offer preferred
him for his services as instructor in

therefore, for owners of machines to
