The 1882 by Hoge. Brownlce & CO., was
put on afterwards at my request. The
firm was doing the bulk of the furniture
trade of tho city; on an average stock of
5000 were doing a 81 900 month busl-
ness, meeting their obligations without
complaint; were not involved beyond
what their average business could meet.
Last week they were advised by friends in
Chicago that parties in Butte had wired a
law firm there giving the names of several
of the ChauvIn-Fant creditors, that the
firm was hard pressed, melting dIstrust,
that scared some of the creditors into
wiring their account. The information
was base fabrication and done to ruin
us, as no demands were made on us that
were not promptly met.
For reference we may give the First
National bank of Butte. the Silver Bow
National bank, Hoge. Brownlee & Co.,
through whom nearly all the collections
on them came to show whether my state
ment is false or true. That the conspir-
acy started and was pushed with mali
clous energy there is no question and insti-
gated by the managers Of a competing
firm, proofs are forthcoming if they dare
deny it, We hope TO make satisfactory
arrangements and within a short time to
be on our feet again"
Over "A Car Load of Fruit.
Hector Terni to-day commenced an ac-
ton against the j. f. Kelly company, and
alleges that the defendant on Nov. % or
dered from the plaintiffs firm at New
Orleans a car load of fruit. The ship
nent was made four days later in charge
of messenger. The goods we're valued
at 1924 80. The messenger was paid $50,
and the freight. $3.50, was guaranteed to
the railroad. The total expenditure and
value was 1868. When the car arrived in
Butte the defendant refused to receive it
and the railroad company was forced to
sell the lot for Sl45 in order to save the |
plaintiff from total loss, which amount
was allowed on the freight. Judgment |
for the balance, $i1S, is demanded.
