SERIOUS RUPTURE.
Happenings of Importance Concorn-
Ing PeudietOn Manufacturing co.

serious rupture between the oflic-
ials of the Pendleton Manufacturing
company occurred in this city last Sat
urday. Nothing has been made public
concerning the matter and those who
know most about il are rctiCent.
1t is. however, known positively that
an election was held and that the SER
vices of General Manager Gurdon
Pendleton We're summarily dispensed
with, as were thise of his nephew,
George Pendleton, who worked for the
Hendrick Manufacturing company, the
officers of which are also officers of
the Pendleton company.
These facts have startled those who
have been made aware of them for the
reason that il was understood that
Gurdon Pendleton had three years
contract guaranteeing him his official
position at a salary of no small pro-
portions. There are many rumors
afoat as to the cause of these unex-
pected changes, but to give any of
them without positive evidence might
work injustice.
L. A. Bassett was elected president
Of the company and A. p. Trautwein,
treasurer.
The exact status Of the corporation
is a difficult thing to determine Its
most valuable possession was supposed
to be the secret of the flux of the Car
bondale antitrust metal. The man who
held that is Gates, who left this city
several weeks ago, his services being
no longer required at the Hendrick
works. He had little private work.
shop where he made the fiuX and did
experimenting, but whether the all
important secret is still locked up in
his head or is in the possession of the
Hendrick people, is question.
The antitrust has been considered
one Of the greatest discoveries of the
age and the wonder is that it's manu-
facture has not been pushed. There is
no apparent reason why the metal
should have been confined to bObbns.
In fact, not even the bobbin business
is now being worked and the several
hands formerly engaged at the work
are out of employment.
A short time ago a representative
Of surgical instrument manufacturers
made mighty endeavors to get a figure
from the company for the exclusive
right to use the metal in their wares,
but to no avail. He was backed by
millions.
he ihCtdl was uSSu III pl'S ''c 'P'h''
and appeared to he in every way sue
cessful still ii is not now being util-
ized. 1t has been mentioned in con-
nection with hundreds of useful ar
ticles subject to corrOsion and yet it
has not replaced iron nor steel. II
costs little more than steel and GER
tainly will not rust. A local physician
had piece of it immersed i'm corrosive
sublimite for several days and il
showed no sign Of corrosiOn.
The rise or fall of this metal and the
result of the official rupture of the
company will be watched with keenest
interest by thousands of persons.
