A Seward doctor named Hums went dowu to Seattle for a visit. There >. some one promptly stole his overcoat. This made Burns hot. Shortly after he saw a coat on a citizen of the .Spirit City that looked like the one he had lost and the doctor grabbed the wearer by the neck and told him to peel it off. Bat the Seattle citizen proved that the coat he wore was his own and has sued the Seward man for- $10,000 fur mussing up his feelings.
