SUED
Sioux Falls Woman Alleges Violation
of Law.

Sioux Falls, April Mrs. Mary
Sogn of this city. has instituted suits
against five Sioux Falls saloonkeep-
ers by which she seeks to recover
damages to the aggregate amount of
$12,500. She alleged that the de-
PENDANTS sold liquor to her husband
after she had placed him on the
blacklist. The husband some weeks
ago had one OF his hands cut off by
a train while lying beside the track.
In her complaint Mrs. Sogn asserts
that her husband was incapacitated
for work by liquor sold to him by the
defendants. thereby leaving herself
and three children without support.
1t is claimed by her that she notified
each Of the defendants. as well as
the other saloon men of Sioux Falls.
in writing to discontinue furnishing
her husband with liquor. 1t is al
legged by her that this legal notice
was disregarded. One of the saloon
men is sued for $4,000 damages. the
other four for $4,000, $4,000, $4,000
and $500.

titled to be appointed for receiver
