director of large corporation, called
upon one of the big insurance COM
panies and demanded that he should be
made medical director of the company.
His demand was promptly and properly
refused, and he left threatening to
''raise thunder with the company. He
entered into combination with Il dis
charged employee of the company and
another employee on the inside and in
weighed a fat-wittcd newspaper man
into the scheme. They began their at

were made rejecting upon the integrity
of the officers of the company, but the
proofs were not forthcoming, and the
newspaper man suddenly found him

speak. The case will come up in the
courts before long and the newspaper

heart with their cunningly worded ap-

money to perfect valuable inventions.
Since that time his offices ut &c Broad

justice to Mr.. Flagler it must be said
that he is one of the most patient and
