Hartman Sues Jennings For a
Dissolution.
BUSINESS IN ANACONDA
Plaintiff Alleges That Jennings Has
Taken $4,000 in Excess
of His Share.

G w. Hartman began an action against
Michael Jennings in the district court
today for an accounting and dissolution
of the partnership existing between them.
The firm name is Hartman & Jennings.
Hartman states in his complaint that in
Anaconda. on the 9th of February of this
year, he. induced by false representations
made by the defendant, executed a writ
ten agreement Of dissolution of the part
nership existing between them and as a
part of the agreement assigned all of his
property to the defendant with the un-
Outstanding hat the latter was to pay all
of the Indebtedness of the firm: that at
the time the transfer was made the
defendant falsely and fraudulently repre-
sented that all of the firms property was
under attachment and had been levied
upon for debt. He says the firm was
then insolvent and the only way in which
money could be obtained with which 70
liquidate the bills against it was by the
transfer of the property as stated; that
the statements made by the defendant
were false Inc fraudulent and were made
for the purpose of obtaining the transfer
mentioned
Hartman further alleges that Jennings
q u IL &c vi IN LlIdIlCldl dIldllS u
the firm and was fully informed in rela.
ton to them, while he was ignorant and
uninformed; hat Jennings has not paid
the debts.
For a second cause of action the
plaintiff alleges that their bust
ness has been that of grading
for railroads, removing earth where
necessary and doing a general
grading business; that Jennings had vio
lated the terms of the partnership agree
ment and has within three years, by
means of time checks and vouchers
drawn by him against the money If the
partnership, taken at least 5000 in excess
of the share belonging to him; that he
converted it to his own use without plain
tiff's knowledge n consent; that these
| vouchers and time checks were made
| payable to fictitious accounts and per-
| sons and were a fraud upon him, the
plaintiff: that Jennings had failed to ac-
count for the money so taken; that he.
| plaintiff, knew nothing about the work of
his partner until February 8, of this ear.
Hartman says that Jennings has caus-
| ed false, fraudulent and collusive actions
to be brought agains the firm and has
/ caused attachments to be issued against
| the partnership property, the object be-
ing to embarrass the partnership, injur-
ing the credit of the firm and cause the
plaintiff to withdraw from the firm: that
! Jennings still has the property in his pos
session and threatens to sell it and con-
| vert the proceeds to his WI use.
In addition to an accounting and disso-
luton, the plaintiff asks the court to re-
strain the defendant from selling the
property until the trouble is legally adj
justed.
In a separate suit Hartman and An
drew Johnson have pooled issues against
Jennings and ask the court to prevent
him from selling 81, 500 worth of property
belonging to them or give them iudg-
ment against hin for the amount stated,
