Daily Non-pariel OF Council Bluffs. of
paper In the amount of $4,000 for an
alleged slanderous statement published
Dec. 2. 1917. Mr.. Tuttle was named a.
one Of the defendants so that the
notice could be served on him and the
suit brought to trial in Montgomery
county.
The statement to which exception is
taken by Mr.. Wilkerson and for which
damage sare asked, reads, THE Iowa
Inspector of explosives ought to keep
one eye continually on J. y. Wilker-
SON.
When seen at hts office Mr.. Will
kerson said: Il have been compelled to
take an immense amount Of abuse from
the state papers, but this statement,
for which am asking damages Is more
than l think l should be asked to
tolerate.
I'm these troublous times, when ex-

serious offense to make a statement

The case win be fled for the Febru-

it will be brought to trial before the
