Olan Cox is attempting to collect
damages to the extent of $4,000 IN
district court from Mrs. Carol VII

the arrest Of the plaintiff on charge
of attempted rape. The case was
called before Justice John Glib, who
dismissed the action for lack of evil
dence. Cox then retalated by bring.

By reason of the fact that Cox Is q
minor, it was necessary to have the
court appoint his mother, Matte Cox

Were Neiohbors. ~. ;.
The parties in the present suit were
neighbors. On January 81, 1911, II
was alleged that Mrs. Williams ap
peared before Judge Glib to make
complaint against Cox. charging that
he attempted a rape upon her, but
that at the hearing the court held
there was not sufficient evidence to
hold Cox, and released him and dis
missed the case. Cox alleges that Mrs,
Williams acted maliciously and with
out probable cause in causing his ar.
rest. He was imprisoned for one day
and on February l, was released from
custody. Attorneys fees to the ex
tent Of 500 were paid out by the
plaintiff, who sues for $4,000, claim
ing that it had been hard for him to
get work since the charges have been
made against him and that his repu
tation has been injured. Cox denies
that he ever assaulted or harmed Mrs
Williams in any way.
