DAMAGE GASES WERE ON AT WALKER YESTERDAY Cass Lake Marshal Sued for Big . Sums.—Directed Verdict for Defendant in One. Cass Lake, Nov. 18.—(Special to Pioneer.)—In the district court at Walker yesterday in the case of Henry Washington vs. Henry Brouilette, city marshal of Cass Lake. the court directed a verdict in favor of the marshal. This case is one of three cases in which people who were arrested by Brouilette on different charges and afterward acquitted in justice court, have brought suits for dam- ages. In the case of Washington, the latter sued Brouilette for $5,000 damages for false arrest. Several months ago, a lumberjack ‘was arrested on Sunday for intoxica- tion. When he sobered, the knignt of the forest claimed he had pur- | chased the liquor from Henry Wash- | ington, colored, on Sunday. The arrest of Washington followed. He was given a hearing and acquitted. Washington then entered suit against Brouilette ror $5,000 dam- ages. Hattie Mosley, colored, was also arrested and acquitted. She brought suit for damages in a similar amount to Washington. Charles Garritz had the same ex- perience as Washington and Hattie { Mosley and he sued for $1,000 dam- ages. Constable Wright was also sued for $5,000 damages for participation in the Washington case. All of the cases were set for trial in the term of court for Cass county, which is being held at Walker this week. Charles Scrutchin, Bemidii’s colored attorney, was retained as counsel for the plaintiffs in all three cases, while R. M. Funck, recently elected county attorney for Cass| county, and F. W. Smith, also of Cass Lake, were retained by the defendant. The Washington case was disposed H of by the directed virdict as stated above, while that of Garritz and Hattie Mosley were continued until next term of court, on the request of | Mr. Scrutchin.
