A big six cylinder automobile, 1911
model and belonging to John r. Dob
| bins is figuring in suit which has
been filed in the district court by the
plaintiff Dobbins against Ed Leach in
which plaintiff asks court for writ
of replevin for car and Judgment
/ against defendant for damages.
! The automobile belongs to Dobbins
! according to allegations in the peti

| belongs to him. Petition states that
Leach loaned Dobbins $500 on the
automobile, two hundred of which the
plaintiff has paid back to defendant.
Plaintiff is also ready to pay to the
defendant the remaining three hun
dred dollars and has signHed his will
lingness to do so.
Dobbins has asked the court for the
writ of replevin to enable him to- get
his property back and also asks for
damages which he states he has re-
ceived by being deprived of the use of
his machine, which he values at
81 900 cash.

Merchant Exchange bank Of Downing,
Mo, in which plaintiff asks judgment

years, but when the supplies came for
the third year, defendant refused to
take the goods or to pay for them, de-

Plaintiff had not been informed of
these intentions of defendants in re-
gard to the supplies until after they
had been made and especially design
