HE WON'T LET THEM SELL.
Objects TO an Assessment on His
Fully Paid-Up Shares.


James F. Smith has sued the Bryant
Flexible Shoesole and Machine Company
and its directors for an Injunction re-
straining them from forcibly selling GER
tain shares in the company belonging to
plaintiff under delinquent assessment.
The complaint sets forth that George
Bryant, the original discoverer of the
patent for the manufacture of which the
company was formed, sold his patent TO
the company in consideration of $3.50 fully
paid-up $40 shares in the concern; 1886
more shares were Issued to stockholders.
Shortly after this Bryant assigned and
transferred fifty fully paid-up shares to
Smith. and when, on July Z. 1898, an as
sessment Of 81 per snare was levied on the
stockh oldprs. Smith refused to pay on the
ground that the shares held by him were
fully paid up, whereas on the 1886 shares
held by the other stockholders only 81 per
share had been actually paid up.
The plaintiff was told that after August
10 his shares would be sold if he did not
pay his assessment, land as they are daily
In danger of being so treated he sues for
an injunction to stand until his rights IN
the case are determined.
