money, much of which went to himself.
I. Carl Spelling is also criticized for a sum
he drew, because it is charged that it was
largely in excess of what he deserved.
Concluding, the complaint says there
are nineteen more suits now pending, in
volvipg an amount of about 5000, ,0CO which
need the attention and direction of a
competent attorney, and it is alleged that
in this time of need the true reason
for dispensing with the services of John
Flournoy was that he was faithful to his
duties in prosecuting the suits of the
stockholders, and in enforcing the de-
mands of the bank.
1t is further alleged that Sheehan is in
receipt of a salary of $175 month, and
that the amount is far beyond what he
earns. That he is devoting much of his
time to the Cripple Greek Development
Company, an association in which both
Stone and Thornton are interested, and
that he is neglecting his duties as secre.
tary and manager of the bank.
The complaint concludes as follows:
Wherefore, complainant alleges that the
said Eugene M. freeman, William P
Taylor, George Stone, w. Fl. Phelps, S. X.
Thornton and John f. Sheehan, and
each of them. are not the proper
persons to be intrusted with the clos
ing of the affairs and business of said
Peoples Home Savings Bank in the in
stockholders thereof, and respectfully
prays said honorable court that an order
be made to show cause in the above
entitled action why the said Eugene M.
Freeman, George Stone, William P Taylor,
S. K. Thornton and William II. Phelps
should not be removed from the office of
directors of said bank, and why the said
George Stone SHOULD not be removed from
the office of president of said savings bank,
and why the said John F. Sheehan should
not be removed from the office of secretary
and manager thereof, and further prays
that at the time fixed for the hearing of
said order said court make an order re-
moving the said Eugene Nj. Freeman,
George Stone, William P. Taylor. s. K.
Thornton, William H. Phelps and John r.
Sheehan from the offices held by them,
and that said court make such other and
further order in the premises as it may
deem fitting and proper.

matter and in purity, and 1T is to the COM
mon interest of farmer and manufacturer
to have them harvested and milled as
soon as possible.
Harvesting may be divided into three
operations: Flowing out, topping and
hauling. Flowing is performed by a
specially made plow which does not. how
ever, need description as it is merely an
adaptation of the best plow used in Europe.
1t is very cheap and saves an immensity
of labor; a man and two horses should
plow out one and half to two acres per
day. The beets after this plowing are
left standing upright but quite loose, in
the ground. They are pulled up, shaken
free from dirt, thrown into rows or piles.
topped by hand with a sharp knife and
thrown into baskets ready to be finally
loaded into wagons and hauled to the
factory.
Topping is at present the most expen-
sive operation, and costs on an average
70 cents per ton.
Beets should be hauled to the factory i'm.
medlately after topping, as they rapidly
deteriorate upon exposure to our hot sun.
If they cannot be hauled at once, they
should be well covered with leaves. A
single days exposure to the hot sun will
make an appreciate difference in both
quality and quantity. Beets thus exposed
become tabby, and instead of crisp, brittle
lootS, tuey are touSl, anu can De tleO Int
a knot without breaking.
Danger from frost in this climate is very
slight.
Beets are bulky, and the cost of hauling
is considerable item of expense. Within
radius of three miles from the factory it
varies from 25 cents to so cents per ton, and
from three to six miles from so cents to
81 so per ton. AS this is about the limit
that can be paid for hauling, it naturally
restricts the best growing area of mill
without railroad facilities to about one
hundred square miles.

AGAINST THE DIRECTORS,
The Safe Deposits Hand in the
Peoples Home Bank
Litigation.
MISMANAGEMENT IS ALLEGED
The Board is Said to Be Careless and
Negligent, and Unfit for
Office.

The California Safe Deposit and Trust
Company has thrown q bombshel1 into
the litigation which is pending around the
Peoples Home Savings Bank. 1t is the
assignee of over 100000 worth of claims,
and as such assignee it has brought suit to
have summoned S. K. Thornton, Eugene
M. Freeman, William II. Phelps, John F.
Sheehan, George Stone andWilliam P. Tay-
lor, all directors Of the Peoples Home Saw
ings Bank.
The actual amount of assigned claims
represented by the California Safe Deposit
and Trust Company was $722,972 %, and
this amount included the claims of 2657
deposltors, but there has been paid to the
account OF these claims, sos, ,445 81, leaving
an unpaid balance of $6I4, ,526 a.
The complaint alleges that the directors
complained of have been guilty of crini-
nal carelessness and negligence in the adj
mlnlstratlon of the affairs of the bank
The plaintiff alleges that an inspection of
the books was refused, although several
times demanded, nor could any satisfac-
tion be got from them until the aid of the
court was called into the case. The direc-
tors have refused to call in the unpaid
capital stock upon demand, and their
records are not properly kept, continues
the complaint, and if left in power the OBJ
noxlous directors will delay and impede
such course as much as possible. 1t is
also alleged that transfers of stock from
solvent transferers to insolvent transfer
eeS was also made with the idea of defeat
Ing the claims of the bank creditors.
Ihe complainant further alleges that
Stone, Thornton and Sheehan on July Is,
1888, decided that it would be for their
best interests individually TO procure the
resignation OF Merrell, director. and
eject director who would favor their
projects and plans, and who would oppose
tue calling IN of the unpaid capital OF said
savings bank and impede it's collection.
Accordingly they caused Phelps to make
q proposition to Merrell, to the effect that
ne should purchase the said claim Of Mer-
Tell against the savings bank, and that
largely IN excess of the real value of his
claim. This proposition was coupled with
the condition that Merrell should resign
ms once as director of the bank, and
with the further condition that in the
event that Stone and Thornton should fail
70 erect him director tina. any money
Paiu 10 Merrell should be returned and re-
1unded to him, and that a re-assignment
should be made to Merrell of his claim
against the bank.
Merrell assigned his claim to Phelps and
aelvered to Phelps his resignation as
dlrector. Then Phelps caused Merrell to
ieave the City temporarily in order that
ne might not attend the meeting of the
Doaro OF directors, which was to be held
July "a, 1895, and in order that Merrell
might no. reconsider his action and with
draw his resignation.
Merreil's resignation was accepted by the
yoies OF Davidson. Stone, Thorn ton and
