TREATED HER ROUGH
Henryetta, Aug. 4—A "John Doe"
Warrant has brought a damage suit
of $1,000 against Walter Brown, con-
table, and her sureties by Mrs. Car-
oline Nobllski, who alleges that the
defendant entered her home in Coal
ton with a "John Doe" search Warrant
cn the pica that she was either a
choc maker or was selling illegal
drinks, that a search of the house
revealed nothing contraband, and
when the constable attempted to
search the cellar, she objected as she
used this cellar for hiding her money,
and she was afraid the officer would
find it and keep it. Upon her he-
refusal to let him enter the cellar,
she avers that he forcibly cuffed bel-
and threw her small baby-inarms on
the floor and that a search of tho
collar revealed nothing contraband,
therefore she sues in the sum of
$1,000 for damages to character and
peace of mind.
