Another suit for damages has been filed against Harrison Tincher, the wealth old farmer, who lives in Mill Creek Township, and who has many acres of valuable farm lands. This time tin- suit is brought by Andrew Kantz. who asks $1,000 damages for breach of contract. The trouble between Tincher and Kantz began several months ago. At that time Kantz tiled suit for several thousand dollars damages against Titichi r alleging that Tincher had slandered him by stating that he had stolen some gra'n or hay. This case has never yet conn* to trial. Then Tincher filed suit against Kantz for damages.
