PHONE PATRONS
SEEK DAMAGES
FROM COMPANY
Four Subscribers Ask for
$500 for Loss Of Ser
vice.

EATON. O., March 12.-Alleging
they were deprived OF telephone serv-
Ice for a period Of almost one year
while mandamus suit against the
company was being carried through
the courts, the Eldorado & West Man
chester Telephone company Is being
sued in common pleas court by A. w.
s. Locke, c. +. and Harvey Shewman
and A. ]. Hamilton for $500 dam
ages. Locke sued for $4,000, Hamilton.
$500. Z. +. Shewman, $1,000 and
Harvey Shewman. $500.
In February, 1914, the telephone
company's service was demoralized az
the result of a destructive sleet storm.
The service was out month or six
weeks. When the company sought full
rental pay a number of subscribers
refused to acceed to the demand and
the company cut out" their tele-
phones. Locke and several other per-
sons joined in instituting mandamus
action against the company in an ef-
fort to compel 1t to reinstate their
telephones. They won the decision
in common pleas court and the instru-
ments were ordered reinstated. In
stead of reinstating the telephones the
company set out to take the man
damus action to the higher courts,
with the result that the supreme court
affirmed the lower courts. Now fol-
lows the damage actions.
Little damage resulted in Eaton and
vicinity from the terrific wind storm
Saturday night. In numerous in
stances tin roofing was torn off and
small buildings blown over, but no ser.
ious damage was done. The Eaton
Lighting company's street service was
put out Of commission and the town
was in darkness throughout the night.
In some parts of the residence dis
tricts there was no light.

A divorce suit filed about eighteen
months ago by Waldo Weist against

common pleas court for want Of pros
ecution. An action to quiet title,
brought by Daniel Studebaker against
