WASHINGTON (AP) - NEW DETAILS ABOUT A STRING OF MYSTERIOUS "HEALTH ATTACKS" ON U.S. DIPLOMATS IN CUBA INDICATE THE INCIDENTS WERE NARROWLY CONFINED WITHIN SPECIFIC ROOMS OR PARTS OF ROOMS. SOME VICTIMS SUFFERED MILD BRAIN TRAUMA AND NOW HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CONCENTRATION OR RECALLING WORDS, SYMPTOMS THAT CAST DOUBT ON THE INITIAL THEORY OF A SONIC ATTACK. BAFFLED INVESTIGATORS HAVE FOUND NEITHER A CULPRIT NOR A DEVICE, AND SAY THE FACTS AND THE PHYSICS ARE NOT ADDING UP.

==================================
A MILLS COUPLE HAS FILED A LAWSUIT IN NATRONA COUNTY DISTRICT COURT, ALLEGING THAT THE FORMER MAYOR OF MILLS FRAUDULENTLY ADVERTISED PROPERTY AND BREACHED A CONTRACT WITH THE COUPLE AFTER THEY PURCHASED THREE LOTS IN ORDER TO PUT A MOBILE HOME THERE, ONLY TO FIND OUT MOBILE HOMES ARE PROHIBITED BY TOWN ZONING ORDINANCES.

THE LAWSUIT, FILED JULY 20, WAS BROUGHT BY WILLIAM AND JACQUELINE CAVANAUGH. IT NAMES FORMER MILLS MAYOR MARROLYCE WILSON AS THE DEFENDANT.

ACCORDING TO THE LAWSUIT, ON SEPT. 11, 2015 THE CAVANAUGHS BOUGHT THREE LOTS IN MILLS FOR $30,000. THE LOTS HAD BEEN OWNED AND WERE SOLD BY WILSON.

THE CAVANAUGHS PLANNED TO PUT A MOBILE HOME ON THE LAND, AND MADE THAT PLAN KNOWN TO BOTH THE TOWN OF MILLS THROUGH WILSON AND O'HEARN, AND TO WILSON, PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE.

THE CAVANAUGHS HAD INSPECTIONS DONE, RECEIVED A MOBILE HOME MOVING PERMIT FROM THE TOWN OF MILLS AND HAD TOWN ELECTRICIANS AND WATER EMPLOYEES ON THE PROPERTY.

WILSON ALLEGEDLY ADVERTISED THAT THE LOTS WERE THE TYPE OF LAND WHERE A MOBILE HOME WAS ALLOWED.

WHEN THE CAVANAUGHS FINALLY MOVED THEIR MOBILE HOME ON THE LAND, THEY WERE TOLD THEY WERE IN VIOLATION OF THE TOWN'S ZONING ORDINANCES AND THEY'D HAVE TO REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY.

THEY'RE NOW SUING FOR UNSPECIFIED DAMAGES.

WILSON HAS DENIED THE ALLEGATIONS AND FILED A COUNTERCLAIM, ASKING TO BE AWARDED ATTORNEY'S FEES BECAUSE, SHE SAYS, THE CAVANAUGHS HAVE BREACHED THE CONTRACT.
