MORE woRoEsrEnHu1nE-HAuoE TROUBLES.
Judging from tho suits for Infringement Of
patonta brought hero, Ohlcago must DO aourfah-
ing plaoo for bogus manufacturoB. Especially
does this nppoar to be The faot In regard to
oounterfcits Of Loa l. Perkins " Worcostorshiro
sauce." About sir woo4a ago Lea i Perkins
llod q bill against party on Blue Island hvenno,
and yesterday two more caaea woro commenced,
ono againat Charles Lutz and William LOWS, tho
other against Edward Colo.
In tho for,nor suit tho complainante, Los &
Perkins, aftor setting forth their business and
Introducing spccimena Of their labols, state that
Charles Lut1 Inns been for sono time engaged In
tho manufacture of IN imitation Of tholr sauoo.
Tie labels employed by him, specimens of which
arc attachod to the bill, arc quito aitlar to tho
original, though not 30 closo m imitation "a
those Of tho party Bucd aomo timo ngo. Theso
labos state TINT tho sauco ia manufactured by
"Lowis j. Co.." Of Worcester and London: A
circular, which Is issued by thls spurious firm,
states that they aro tho only manufacturers Of
buyer of spurious limitations, designating. With
cool oirrontory, tho original nnkors, Lon i Per-
lins, us imitatora. An affidavit filed
BY 1so. f. M oGyS dGn7 tho tho SSrsS nsw
Collyer alleges that about nix wcclsB ago ho
formed the acquaintance Of this Uhnrloa Lutz ut
No. 85 Washington atroot. 1utz pretended that
he imported oil his sauco In bottles from En-
however, subsequently, discovered the manufac-
tory OF this sauco which ia imported about as
y far rs most OF tho wluos and liquors drank IN
this city. It ID Btunted in tic bnaemont Of q
brick block OIL tile southeast corner of North
State ind Kinzie streets. Horo ho saw Lutz
engaged at work with q large kottle,
in which tho sauce was made, With barrela to
hold 1t when boiled. and humorous bottlos

ticaliy tho same as those shown Linn by Lutz
On another occasion ho saw person actually
engaged in the manufacture Of tho sauce in TINT
party who attonda to tho manufacturo Of
tho article in question. .Lutz when
Collyer visited him offered to soil his manufac-
supersodina that Of Lon & Perkins, aud was
used at tho Grand Pacific. Collyor, however,
thinks it much inferior and made out Of very
poor Ingredients, which will be unpleasant news
for the visitors to tito Grand Pacific.
In tie caso againat Cole it is alleged TINT ho
vons in Now York. Tho labels Of TINT
firm t sst cut or in,o in gEor!DS Gaia %d s19ss
Worcester sauce," which ia Represented as hay..
ing taken sundry prizea at yarious places, and
as being employed to aid the digestion of maics-
ty AeraoH IN England. Stevens appears to DO
myth, and Colo. attor having been suod in Now
York, has flown to, what he considers, a more
congenial climate in Chicago. Here ho Is fol-
lowed, and an injunction asked to prevent him
froom flooding tho market with largo number
Of spurious labels with which ho ia rfoyided.
He, Ool1ycr claims. has stolen Jovos thunder by
apprnpriating the genuine bottles and roiilling
thom with his compound. Not content with this,
lie soils bis liquid by tho gallon to restaurants
aud hotels, md thus shakes tho faith OF Chica-
go's hungry morta!s by o suspicion that oven
though tho bottles have the name blown In and
the labels undoubtedly genuine, the compound
within may yet DO mixture Of Chicago River
water, wooden ntltmcgs, Gtc..
