MAN WANTS HEART BALM.
William H. Cassidy of Pittsford Sues for
$4,000 Damages.

V5fooo D"AhekeS.
Rutland, Aug. l4.-William II. Cassi'
dy Of Pittsford has brought suit IN
Rutland county court for breach of prom
Use, seeking 20 recover $1,000 heart balm
from Anna 0. Smith OF Pittsford, tnow
Mrs. Briggsl. Mr., Cassidy's attorney
is Ernest II. 0Brien of this city, the
case being returnable at the September

Mr.. Cassidy is about 35 years old, the
defendant being about seven years his
junior. He has lived with the young

to become his wife but that although
he has remained single and has been
willing to fulfil his part of the con.
tract she is not willing to marry him.
Although it is not set up in the dec
laration, it is understood that the young
woman was welded to soldier named
Briggs at Fort Ethan Allen a few days
ago.

ney, to recover $6,96667 alleged to be
