SqueaIs on a Little Loss of $4,000
in an Irrigation Scheme.
Denver, Oct PA special from
Santa Fe, N. M, to the Republic,
says: A suit has been filed in the dis
trict court by Thomas Taylor, of Mid
way, Pa, against the Irrigation and
Hydraulic Mining company, of this
territory, and Henry H. Armstead, it's
manager, who has for several years
been operating in New York and Penn
sylvania. Taylor claims that through
false representations as to the value
of the alleged property, Armstead in
duced him to take 100000 shares of the
stock, for which he paid $4,000. 1t
was represented to him that the COM
pany owned more than 10000 acres of
valuable placer land in Santa Fe and
Bernolillo counties, but upon recent
investigation he finds that the COM
pany does not own an acre of land,
has no commercial standing whatever,
and the stock is absolutely worthless.
He sues to recover his $4,000 and s5,-
900 in addition to cover interest and
damages.
