whom they believed to be the most
eminently qualified 'to take charge

along school lines this state being
one of the best places in .th,e world

From Monday's Dally.
We had the pleasure of viewing
a couple of pictures of Carl Roess

engineers corps, one standing beside
an American Locomotive, which is
one of goodly proportions, and no
doubt looks large enough to the
French, whose railroads are of the
smaller type. Carl looked like he
was enjoying life in that far away

be able to get home.

The following letter from R. M.
Cole at Los Angeles, is self explana
tory, and deals with a suit which
was filed against him a few -months
since.
- AprMl 10th. 1'Jl'J.
To the Editor,
Plattsmouth Journal,
Dear Sir:
It has come to my notice that in
your issue of the above Journal for
February 20th, 1918, there appear
ed two news items in which ' my
name was mentioned and concerned.
In one cf these items the state
ment was made that Charles C.
Parmele and Will S. Jean, had
brought suit against me for the sum
of $802.50. as commission for the
sale of a farm. The other item stat
ed that Edward IF. Spangler had
brought suit against me to enforce
the execution of a contract for the
sale of a farm to him by myself.
I wish to state to your many
readers that during the thirty years
and more that I resided in Cass
County, Nebraska, and since my ab
sence from there, suit was never
brought against me to compel me to
pay one dollar of debt or fulfill an
obligation of any kind. And. if it
is true as your paper reports that
suit was actually brought against
me by the above named gentlemen,
it must have been brought and dis
missed at the expense of the per
sons bringing these actions, for I
have never been served with notice
of either of the actions.
I wish to explain that the trans
action referred to in your paper was
closed according to my instruction,
and original agreement, which I
was ever ready to live tip to and
did live up to, and within the time
specified that it - should lead up to
by me, but I did not pay any com
mission of $802.50, although I did
pay the amount I agreed to pay.
nothing more. I know nothing of
Mr .Spangler's claim of $400.00
damage. The agreement with me
under which he was buying called
for the clsoing of the transaction
March 1st, 1919, while, according to
your newspaper report he filed suit
against me on February 19th, 1919.
It Is a serious question in my
mind whether or not one person can
bring suit against another where no
grounds for suit e'xistwithout lay
ing himself liable to damages to the
person who is injured by the filing
of such a suit.
Respectfully yours,
R. M. COLE.
56 So. Daisy St., Long Beach, Calif.
P. S. Having been a property
holder in your county for more than
thirty years, I feel sure you will
do me the Justice of allowing my
friends and business acquaintances
to get this statement from me
through the columns of your paper.
