E CASE
Louis Miller Sues for 95000 Dam
ages and Gam Now Being Tried.
Several Other Canes to Be Heara
When Present Case Is Disposed of.
The circuit court is In umiIaii ami
the most Important case thus far la
the case of Louis uirller vs. Ernest -and
Marie Wasser. The plaintiff
and defendants live In the Goble
neighborhood. From what the Mist
can learn it appears that tha m.in.
.tiff, npon complaint of the defan
dants or one of them, was brought
before the county judge on Decem
ber 1920 and his sanity was ques.
tioned. After the wart ana the
doctors had made a thorough Invea
tgatlon, Miller was declared to b
sane and released from the custody
of the officers. On account of tha
occurrence and the fact that one of
the defendants swore to the eomi.
plaint against him, the plaintiff al.
leges that he was damaged to the
extent of $6000 and asks thta am
ount from the defendants. It took
only several hours to secure the Jury
uui examination or tne dozen or more
witnesses - had takwn np about two
days of the court's time. A enn
slderable part of tne population of
the Beaver Homes district !
here as witnesses for the nlalnttfr
and the defendant. Attorney H.
Arnold appears for the plaintiff and
and Glen R. Metsker represent the
defendants. It Is not 'probable that
the case will get to the jury late this
evening or possibly Saturday.
utner cases on the trial docket are
P. B. Harding ts. Silas Graham; A.
E. Saul vs. Shanfion B. Shaffer; U
Bell vs. Clatsop County: Pavld Hardy

these cases are equity cases and will
proDSDiy m heard daring the com
ing week.
The session of tho court has
drawn a- number of Interested pot.
sons from various sections of tho
county as well as a number of at
