Lamp sues Cedar County Sheriff for ten thousand dollars
Lamp, proprietor of West Side park, filed suit in district court Friday seeking $10,000 against Sheriff W. W. Christian and his bondsmen. He alleges false and humiliating charges at West Side park last October and says he was arrested for operating a dance without a license without formal charges. A letter to Iowa Electric Light and Power Co. urged leasing property away from Lamp, claiming it would benefit the community. Sheriff Christian calls the action a bid to discredit him politically.
