Asserting 'that money was procured

Stevenson, a proeperousJdaho farmer,
and uncle of Polio Captain Balley.,filed
suit In 'Justice Reld'a court this -morning
to recover 1160 damages from the
Walter Reed Optical concession, which
is engaged in selling optical Instruments
at the fair.. .
Suit ..waa filed through Attorney A.
Walter WolC. and It is alleged that
Btevenson and hla wife went to tha fair
grounds July 10 and on-entering ths
Agricultural building were Invited by
conoason to inspect its stock of eye
glasses. He say that thla agent, wno
represented himself aa an eye apeclallst,
examined his "ayes and informed him
that he was about to los th sight of
his left eye. owing to a defect in th
glasses which he had' been wearing.

was Induced to payf 17,60 for a pair of

An oculist waa consulted by Steven
son after he left th fair grounds. It Is
said, and he waa Informed that th
glasses sold bis wife and himself war
identical, so far as tha lenses were
concerned. .After wearing them a short
time, he alleges, he found his eyes In
bad oonditlon and was unable to see at
all while aalng them. -On
- account of the false represent
tlona made to him by tha agent of the
optical company, Stevenson asserts, he
waa made to suffer great agony of mind
and received bodily, injury, for which
h demands damages. t
. "I do not care much for the money,"
aaid the plaintiff, "but I am determined
to ahow these sharks up la their true
light befor th publlo. If possible,
I will make It Impossible for them to

Attorney Wolf says that th agent
informed hla client that the Company la
composed of local opticians. Investiga
tion, he eays, shows that a short, time
ago It disposed of Its Interests to a
Denver firm, and ia not now chgagedin
business except- on th fair grounds.
Severs! weeks ago many complaints
