tor of the Hardin County Citizen. OF
Iowa Falls, for damages in me sum OF
$25, 900 each, Judge Wright today in the

to strike from the petition certain por-
tons thereof.
The plaintiff in each case sought to
recover in one count for damages to the
person. because Of alleged libel. and In
another count damages for Islander of
property. The motion sought to strike
from the petition all references to the
property of the plaintiffs and the dam
age thereto. This part of the motion
was sustained.
The court also sustained that part OF
the defendants motion which sought to
have stricken out the part Of the petit
ton which is technically called the
inuendo. which means the explanatory
part thereof. the object of which Is to
connect the. plaintiff with the alleged
