BOL.NGER BRINGS A SUIT.
Will Try to Determine If He Is En-
titled to Halderman Fee.

With view to clearing from his
record as assistant county attorney the
charge that he sought to extract fees
for state work, Arthur J. Bolinger to-
day instituted suit against I. d. Hal
derman in the city court to recover
$25.
The former assistant cites in his bill
of particulars that Halderman now
has in his possession contracts and
documents procured for him through
the employment of Bolinger.
The history of the case begins with
the appearance of Ha1derman, who
lives at LOG East Sixth avenue. at the
county attorneys Office during the pre-
vious administration when he asked
for information as to whether he had
a criminal case. Bolinger told him he
had only a civil case. 1t is the con-
tention of Bolinger that Halderman
then employed him to handle that
civil case and that at his own expense
he went to Kansas City to examine
papers and contracts for his client.
When he submitted his charge of $25
after his service was completed he re-
ceived a letter from the attorney gem
eral asking what he meant by using
the county office for private gain.
Bolinger explained the case and moth
ing more was heard of it until the
charge reappeared in an editorial.

the cell room for supper. Dick led the
bunch and before Woodruff got into
the hallway, he hid behind the solid
iron door of the cell room. The room

The jailer counted his prisoners and
said there seemed to be one short but
the others said Dick was around by
his cell.
