has rented his land to Charles A.
Krug for the coming year. and has
given him permission to pillow the
stubble land and plant winter wheat

Stevensons lease expires March l.,

land was leased with permission to
pillow the stubble land in the fall, as

alleged that Mr.. Stevenson has refus.
ed to permit Mr.. Krug to pillow, and
has threatened to damage the land
and buildings If the new tenant does
pillow.
The petition further alleges that a
valuable gravel bank is located on
the farm, and that Mr. Stevenson
claims he will stop the wagons used
to haul this gravel away If Mr.. krug
is allowed to come on the land to
pillow.
The petitioner asks that an injunc-
ton prohibiting Mr. Stevenson from
interfering with the blowing. from
damaging the land or buildings, or
from stopping the passing of gravel
wagons thru the land.
Mr.. Cole is represented in his suit
by Judge B. F. Lincoln.

Five $1,000 assumpsit suits have
been started in the circuit court by
five ex.Yanksa against the Hospital as.
sociation, which is also known as the
Ottawa tuberculosis sanitarium in
South Ottawa. The suits were filed
early in the week by the attorneys
for the plaintiffs, j. w. Rausch, of
Morris, and the firm of Buffers &
Clark Of Ottawa, but were suppressed
until today so that service could be
obtained on the defendants.
The plaintiffs are H. W. Monroe,
Harry r. Gloyd, Wayne Misener, W..
J. Barrett and Christie Loudos, all
soldiers of the world war, who enter
ed the sanitarium under the govern
ment contract for the care of tuber
cular ex-service men, they alege.
They claim that on July /, 1920, the
government and the Hospital associa-
% nj hn
care of ex-service men, who were en-
titled to care under the Public Health
Service. They claim the government
was to pay the Hospital association
SIS day for their care. In the decla.
ration in each suit, the plaintiff claims
that shortly after he entered the san
itarium he was informed that he could
not remain unless he paid $3.50 a
week in addition to the amount the
government paid. They claim that
not knowing the provisions of the
contract they paid this amount. The
suit was brought to get the money
they allege they paid, refunded.
