ARPER, LOCAL DIL KING, NOW SUED FOR LIBEL Smith & Baxter Ask Heavy Damages. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, Jan. 8. The strained business relations have for a long time past existed between George W. Arper, the local coal oil King, and the former retail firm of Smith Baxter to-day culminated in a $20,000 libel suit. The suit was flled in the Superior Court late this afternoon, J. E. Smith and J. M. Baxter appearing as plaintiffs against Arper. According to the éomplaint drawn up by Attorneys Goodcell & and Chapman and Clift the basis of the sult is an alleged scurrilous circular letter issued early last year by Arper. The com- plaint recites: “That in January, 1869, defendant ma- liclously and with intent to harass, injure and annoy plaintiffs in their retail coal oil and gasoline business, published and circulated in the city of Oakland and vicin: ity a certain libelous, false and unprivi- leged printed circular concerning plain- tiffts. * * * That said circular exposed plaintiffs, as partners, to hatred, contempt, that | 0600000000000 $PPO000 0 9000000000000000000000 | Mendenhall | ridicule and obloquy and caused them to | be shunned and avoided, and had a ten- dency to injure them in their business and in their reputation and standing as busi- ness men. * * * That they were obliged to abandon and discontinue their business and wholly lose the same, and they were sibjected to suffer hatred, contempt, ridi- cule and obloquy. All of which was ma- liclously designed and intended by defend- ant through and by means of sald false and libelous publication. That by afore- sald acts of defendant plaintiffs were damaged In the sum of $20,000." The circular complained of as libelous is one issued about a year ago. The cap- tion reads: “Coal oil and gasoline. Smith & Baxter assign to Georze W. Arper. Why? A plain statement.

This time the request is made n plain petition form, and is based upon the trade conditions that exist. The men disclaim any effort at coercion, and mere- ly say that they want what they had be- fore and what will enable them to live comfortably. ; If this is granted it will increase the wages of each man about 20 cents a day, or i’w} a day for the corporation.
