| Brother Against Brother in Suit
| The spectacle of brother against broth
er, so often referred to in fiction, be-
! came a stern reality when Septimus
Duggleby filed suit against his broth
er, William Duggleby. In his petition
the brother Septimus asks the recov-
cry of s547.25, which he claims VIII
liam owed him. The plaintiff brother
claims that the defendant brother abb
seconded and is now in parts unknown
to him. Brotherly ingratitude runs
through the petition. The plaintiff
claims that between November, 1913,
and February, 1914, he sold to the de-
PENDANT meats of the value OF $3.50. He
further AYERS that Feb. 81, 1914, Will
liam drew a note on the Citizens Ex-
chang bank of Oxford Junction, Iowa,
for the sum of $3.50. Septimus en-
dorsed the note and guaranteed pay
ment. When the note became due
William failed to pay and Septimus.
according to his petition, was forced to
pay the bank. Since then, according
to the petitioner, William has made
himself scarce. The plaintiff claims |
that he paid SIPS interest on the !
note, which together with the two prin- |
cipal amounts, makes a total of
$547.25. The plaintiff asks a writ of
for all his brothers prop
erty to satisfy his claims.
