Several week ago three men named Pallet

under the firm name OF w. b. Pallet q Co.
began the establishing of agencies for tn
sale OF a patent fence, for the manufacture o
which they made arrangement with Mr.. q
A. Sturges. Agents were secured for almos
every township in the co inty. the gentlemen
who took the agencies giving their notes 70
various amounts and drawing up articles @
agreement that the notes 30 given were no
TO be paid until 900 rods OF the fence ha
been sold. The notes so made did not stat
on their face that they were not negoiiabl
and after the firm had gotten ready to qu'
business here they began to dispose of th
notes, In the face OF the fact that the article
! of agreement expressly stated that the note
were not negotiable until the certain amour
of fence had been sold. A note Of Mr.. Fol-
5 rest Shelby was sold for less then half its fac
= value, and Mr.. shelby hearing OF It at one

e nothing has been heard Of him since he le
q that place. He disposed or tried TO dIspo'
Of some OF the notes at that place. It Is n
certain whether there is ANYTHING dishone
