Washington, April IA far reach

truths About Him.

Because her husband was slandered
by the man who formerly employed
him, Mrs. Arthur Gathers has filed
suit in the district court asking $4,000
damages from Ed and Mrs. Gordon.
The damages are listed as $4,000 ac-
tual and $4,000 exemplary.
According to the story of Mrs.
Gathers, as told in her petition on file
Gathers formerly worked at the Cor
don grocery store at 1901 West Sixth
avenue. After he left their employ
Gathers, it is alleged, found it impos-
sible to get another job as the Cor
dons told other dealers that he stole
milk and milk bottles from the store.
He says he did not. The specific
charge is made that the Gordons told
the proprietor of the Royal grocery on
West street of the alleged thefts.

Charge Negligence.
City Should Patrol Park or
Guard Ponds.

The city has been asked for $4,000
damages for the death of the boy
Matteson Harper, 1915 Western
avenue, who was drowned in one of
the Central park lakes December 8,
1911.
In a petition before the board of
city commissioners this morning Mr..
and Mrs. Harper, the parents of the
boy, blamed the city for not patrolling
and guarding the lakes and ultimately
for the death of their son.
Matteson Harper ventured out on
the ice in Central park December 5
and the ice broke with him. He
drowned in about eight feet of water
before help could reach him. Car
penters and workmen were near but
they did not hear his cries and COM
panions were unable to rescue the
boy.
In their petition Mr.. and Mrs.
Harper claim the city should have
guard rails around the pond or they
should patrol it. The matter has been
referred to Roy L. Bone. city COM
