The Herald warns its people not to get

Gage Borrows Money

With the money received from the sale of
the property Mr.. Gage paid off all the
debts standing against the property. Be-
ing in need of funds and not getting the
900 due him in 1891 on the unpaid pur-
chase price, which was to have been paid
him out of the first profits of the company,
Mr.. Gage went to the Northern Counties
Investment trust, limited. of Bradford,
England, and borrowed $4,000, giving all
his stock in the Riverside Trust company
and lien on the S190,000 still due him from
the trust company on the purchase price
as security, believing that he would soon
get his deferred payment and thus be able
to pay his debt and secure possession Of
his nronertY again.

anime the property and report upon 1t.
The commissions report was to the erect
that Mr.. Cages representations touching
his property were we'll within the mark.
These men formed the Riverside Trust
company. limited, with capital stock OF
5000 A shares of ESQ each-f25O 900, or 81 $780,
l000-and 1000 B shares having nominal
value of a1 each.
Mr.. Gage sold his property to this COM
pany for 9206,0O0, or S1,O00,000, and the 1000
shares of stock in the company. or this
amount about $4,000 was paid to him
down and the remainder, s3S,OO0, or $780,
1000, was to have been paid to him out OF
the first profits of the company after pay
ing dividends on the shares.
There was paid on the shares an
amount equal to one-half their face value,
which gave the company G125,0O0 or $685.
1000, and the balance of the money, S625OO
with which to pay Mr.. Gage and make fur
ther improvements was to be raised by the
issuance of debentures.
Division of Profits Annually
In the organization of the company 1t
was provided that out of the profits of the
company at the end of each year there

Is per cent on the capital actually paid up.
The remaining profits OF the company
should be divided as follows: Two-thirds
should go to the holders of the shares
and one-third to the holders of the A
shares.
The company was organized on this plan
in order to give Mr.. Gage the income that
his large interest in the company repre-
sented, and yet give the Englishmen the
control of the company. The B shares are
absolutely paid up and worcestershire.
Made Managing Director
Mr.. Gage was elected member Of the
board of directors and was also made
managing director, under a stipulated sal
ary, for term of five years. He returned
home and assumed the management and
direction of the enterprise.
The canal is cemented from its head
about Is miles to a point on the Gage tract.
About 1900 acres are planted to citrus fruits,
making one orchard of $50 acres of lemons,

Within the borders of this tract, how
ever. there is one mile square of unin1-

up under the desert act in 1852. Owing to
the great physical and financial difficulties
in his way, Mr. Gage did not get the water
on the land within the time specified by
law

Resigns as Managing Director and
Begins Suit

In 1898 Mr.. Gage resigned his position of
managing director. and commenced pro-
ceedings in the United States district court
against the Riverside Trust company, for
an accounting, for the payment of the
$3.50 ,0Oo and for damages in the sum of
$500 900. The Northern Counties Invest
ment trust limited, was also made a
party to the suit.
All parties interested were thus brought
into court here in Los Angeles. The de-
PENDANTS denied that Mr. Gage had any
interest in the Riverside Trust company,
or that said company owed him anything
whatever, as all his stock and his claim
had been assigned to the Northern Coun-
ties trust. They also denied that Mr..
Gage had any interest in the stock and
claim so assigned, and alleged absolute
ownership in the latter company.
Is Sued in England
In 1897 Mr.. Gage went to England, and
there he was served with papers in suit
against him in the high court of justice
in which suit the Northern Counties trust
proposed to foreclose all his rights in the
stock and claim assigned to them as col
lateral security, after having sworn in
the United States circuit court. before
Judge Ross, that Mr.. Gage had absolutely
no interest in the property.
Injunction Asked for by Gage
| Mr.. Gage returned to California and al
once asked Judge Ross for an injunction
restraining the Northern Counties trus
from prosecuting it's suit against him il
any English court, on the ground that al
the parties and issues were Joined in thu
suit in the United States circuit court
which had jurisdiction over the property

Injunction Granted
On the 18th day of April, 1898, Judge Ros
granted the injunction asked for. Judg
Ross cannot interfere with an Englisl
court, but as all the property represented
by the stock which Mr.. Gage put UP a.

parties are in court, the decision hold
that the matter must be determined here

aging it's affairs as members of it's board
of directors. This latter company then
declared that there were no profits of the
company that could be used in paying
their just debt to Mr.. Observation-Disclosures
ing that the A shares got their dividends.
The company was so managed that all
other profits were put back into the prop
erty again. By this kind of manipulation
Mr.. Gage would be unable to pay his in
debtedness, and thus a two-thirds inter-
est in the company and $4,000 could be Sc
cured for an advance of only 900.
The herald., 1898-05-08
Sole Owner

Mr.. Gage up to this time was the sole
owner of the enterprise. and he alone
raised the vast sum of money required TO
do the work. and when it was completed
he was in debt about $1,O00,000, while his
property was estimated to be worth fully
three times that amount.
The herald., 1898-05-08

In 1892 Mr.. Gage was removed from the
board of directors of the company because
he had assigned his stock in the company
to the Northern Counties trust as security.
The company also took the ground that
they did not owe him anything, because he
had so assigned his claim and stock. The
Northern Counties Investment trust
agreed with the Riverside Trust company
that there were no profits from which the
claim could be paid.

Prior to the right of way conflict south
of the arroyo, Mr. Gage had purchased
large tract of land-550O acres-above the
Riverside canals, now known as the Gage
tract or Arlington Heights. 1t was to IT,
rigate this tract that the canal was ex-
tended. The canal when completed to the
farther end of this Gage tract was twenty
two miles in length. 1t was completed to
that point in 1889, at cost for land, water
rights, developments, construction and
rights of way for the entire system of over

Sales of Land and Water Rights
The water rights sold north of the arroyo
cover some 1000 acres, at prices ranging
from 500 to $3.50 per acre. aggregating
about s50O.O0O.
South of the arroyo there has been sold
1900 acres of unimproved land, at from
$500 to $500 an acre, and 800 acres of i'm
proved land, ranging from s7OO to $1,000 an
acre, aggregating a total of about $500 900.
There was also 200 inches of water sold
south of the arroyo for $1,000 an inch, MAX
ing total of s2OO,0OO
This makes the total sales of water
