cd fer, but is Reported non est
Fun for the Outsiders.
Pursuant to published notice q meeting
vas held last night, at which the creditors
at large of the Albion Company were pres
emit, as well as a goodly representation
from the general public.
r. Sadler stated that the meeting had
been called to receive the report of the
committee appointed Friday night to wait
upon the President of the Albion Com
pany, and he nominated r. M. Beatty for
Chairman. Mr.. Beatty was chaired by
unanimous vote.
A controversy arose between II. Sadler
and J. E. Parker as to a question Of order,
the latter holding that this was not an
adjourned meeting from the evening be-
fore and could not properly therefore con-
consider its acts. This little irregularity
was bridged over, however, considering
the superior importance Of the purposes in
view, and business was begun.
Smith Harris of the committee then
read the following report, which, we pre-
sumo, explains itself:
L.. l.. Robinson, az President of the
Albion Company, declines to confess judg-
ment upon the terms proposed by Messrs.
Sadler, Hansen ct al, last evening; but
will consent that judgment may be taken
against the company or will confess judg-
meDt at any time in favor Of the attaching
creditors; providing, all the personal
property belonging to the company is SUBJ
jected to sale at the earliest practicable
moment, under the control OF q commit
tee of three persons, one to be selected by
the attaching creditors, one to be selected
by the miners, mechanics and laborers,
who are creditors of the company, and one
to be selected by the company, and the
proceeds of such sale to be deposited at a
bank to be agreed upon, to be appropriate
ed solely to pay the miners, mechanics
and laborers having just claims against
the company. whether such claims arise
from returned drafts given for labor or
not.
Second, or is willing to confess or allow
judgment to be taken, and only the bullion
and ore to be sold; provided, that the at
taching creditors furnish the money to
pay, as is hereinbefore provided. All
claims or liens which may be paid off un-
der the last proposal, over and above the
value of the bullion and ore sold, are to
be assigned to q trustee for the benefit Of
the attaching creditors furnishing the
money.
All payments to be made and authorized
by and under the supervision Of the said
committee.
A stay of all legal proceedings to be had
for GO days, during which time work may
go forward in the mine under Mr.. Reads
SUPPLEMENTARY for prospecting purposes.
L. L. ROBINSON.
March 10, 1888.
Sadler-We are getting farther and far
Their off from our proposition every time
we consult with Mr.. Robinson. In these
returned checks" is the trick to balk us.
Do they want us to pay those checks twice?
Never! What are they for? Was it for
labor or champagne? IL the White Pine
Bank to come in on this racket and get a |
little benefit? Not much.
Parker-The champagne" implication
is. in the minds Of Mr.. Sadler and the at
taching creditors. The words Of Mr.. Rob-
inson are plain enough. He says the
money derived from the sale "shall be ap- |
prspriated solely to pay the miners, me-
chanics and laborers having just claims
against the company"
Sadler-I am now out Of this fight.
Late to-day I came into possession of the
first attachment levied. Ny claims have
been transferred to the United States
Court. Henceforward I shall carry war
into Africa with the Albion Company. My
interests are those of the miners and l an
going to stay with them. Hear! Hear!l
Flavin-My names Johnny Flavin. If
everybody was like me we'd have our Feb
ruary pay before morning. There's a
hundred men in this bloody house that
didn't do a lick of work at all.
Smith Harris (sotto voce)-You are out
order and shouldn't tell tales out Of school.
Chsirman-Propositions have been piled
upon propositions. There has been a
crawling out place in every one Of them.
No meeting yet has accomplished anything
or ever will. There is no money coming
after all that has been said. There Is .
s'nigger in the fence" sure.
Parker (grest excitement prevailing and
everybody on tip-toe) This is a queer
performance. What right, under Parlia-
part in debate?
The Chair very sharply)-You are out
Of order, sir; the Chairman will say what
ever he plesses. I am here to talk II I
want to, aud I'll do it. I am interested in
this matter myself. I do not accuse Col.
or L. L. Robinson Of fraud, but they are
evidently playing for time, and they'll get
it il they can. They have had all the in
diligence that any company under the sun
ever had. But now they have transferred
the cases Of attaching creditors to the Cir
cult Court, in which they will not be heard
before the middle Of May, and may be not,
upon the real estate involved, until next
November. They will not allow a pound
of ore to be sold within 60 days unless they
nave the disposal Of 1t. The lien.holders
can't get their money until the attachment
suits are disposed OF -these men who have
dug out the ore and have done the hard
ticks. They should see to it and not lose
may be a hy-away fellow with his tongue
hung in the middle, but he has talked
sense to you. He is honest, too; he never
robbed any one Of you out Of q cent. did
hep
Sadler-If I can prevent anybody from
robbing the poor man out Of a dollar, I'll
do 1t.
A voice-And get it YOURSELF Laugh
teri.
Sadler-I am no angel, with pink.colored
wings, or anything like that, nor am I q
check shaver. The creditors of all kinds
can come in and combine and get their
money. But these San Francisco ducks
want to come in cold turkey and pro rate.
Well see to that.
Hansen-Mr. Amss received q telegram
to-day. saying that money to take up the
liens would arrive from San Francisco to.
morrow. Well just take up these llena
ourselves, here In town.
"Johnny Flavin"-We don't care about
all this fighting on the outside among you
people. We that have worked for - . day
want our pay, We don't care who pays Us.
Smith Harris-Let others do the hght.
ing, we'll be the suckers, anyway.
"Johnny ~Flavin"-And you've never
done q lick Of work yet. [Some titteringl.
