P. D. COBB FILES
ANSWER TO MOSHER
Defendant in Ejectment Suit Asks
for Transfer to Court of Equity
Has Several Offsets.

Paul ID. Cobb, defendant in an eiectment
suit brought by Kenneth f. Mosher in
June by which the defendant was. elected
from one of the floors of the MOsher ga
rage building, where he had maintained
an automobile repair shop, has filed an
answer in which he prays that the entire
action be amended into the court Of
equity and that the defendants answer be
treated as a cross BILL The reason given
for the motion to transfer to the court Of
equity is that the defendant would have
no opportunity to claim offsets under the
original bill in a court of law without a
multiplicity of law suits, whereas if tried
in a court of equity all suits may be tried
as one.
The defendants answer sets forth that
on Aug. %, 1915, Cobb leased from Mosh-
er one floor of the building for repair
shop at 81 900 a year rental payable in
equal monthly instalments. it is claimed
that he never was given more than ap-
proximately two-thirds; that it had not
been heated as called for IN the lease and
as result there was much loss of time to
Ethe defendant: that the plaintiff had failed
to repair a leaky roof which caused the
defendant other damage: that the plain

that he denies that he owes $500 or any
part of it for rent and that he vacated
the premises as ordered to do and they
have since been in the possession of the
plaintiff
| He further claims that he was to receive
80 cents an hour for repair work other
than from the firm of Mosher & Tucker.

/ hour. When the firm Of Mosher & Tuck

tiles he says there was due for repair work

He alleges that as he had never received
only about two-thirds of the space for
which he paid rent that he had paid
S27.37 IN excess of what he had to use each
month and that by reason of several auto
mobiles having been in his shop for re-
pairs at the time of the ejectment, and be

Thanks Town People
Editor of The Banner:

Editor of The Banner:
On leaving Cambridge, wish to
extend my sincere thanks to it's resi-
dents, and can sincerely say that l
have never in my life known nicer,
kinder or more sympathetic people,
not only in one Glass; but alike among
the rich and poor. To the lawyers,
doctors and business men l am
thankful for all their kindnesses to-
ward me and my work in the Holt
ness Church.
DR.. Wolff, who has been our fami-
ly physician since coming to this city,
has been very faithful in sickness
and bereavement, and during the
four years has refused to accept any
thing for his services. No doubt the
other doctors would have done the
same, for they never failed to help
us. We are especially grateful to
the good nurses of the Cambridge
Maryland Hospital, who stood by us
upon two occasions. The editors of
our Cambridge papers have also been
very liberal with us.
l leave my love and thanks with
the faithful few who stood by me in
my labors in the church. They were
exceedingly kind, as were the minis
tiers whom l have met. May Gods
richest blessings rest upon Cam
bridge and it's people.
