BENTON COUNTY MAN.
He Thinks that Locality Has Been
Sighted i'm Office Giving.

Sighted i'm Office Giving.
C. NJ. Snyder a lawyer of Fowler while
at the Denison last night said: Benton
county Republicans are tired of having
Tippecanoc county put up men for them
TO vote for, and l believe the delegation
will be split when it comes to "a choice of a
candidate for the governorship. Lieutenant
Governor Haggard will have the support of
those who feel that it is good politics to
support the district man. John l.. Griffiths
is well and fayorably known in Benton
county and will have many friends in the
convention, but while all our people like
him, there is a feeling that if he is elected
it will give j. Frank Hanly a reasonable
ground for the claim that he is entitled
to the United States senatorship. Politics
are badly mixed in the Tenth district and
our people, particularly the independent
Republicans, feel that we are in position
to ignore both Tippecanoe and Lake coun-
ties. We never had state officer until we
got Judge Wiley on the Appellate Bench,
and there doesn't seem to be any DISPOSE
ton TO give us anything else Judge Rabb:
of the Circuit Court, will have the solid
support of the circuit for place on the
Supreme Bench when it Is reorganiZed. He
is popular in all the counties in the circuit.
lnere Is al Seneral sentiment IN benton
county against any attempt to retire Sem
ator Fairbanks from his present place, as
it is felt that there are few men available
to succeed him satisfactorily"
Turning from politics TO stock raising,
Mr. Snyder said: do you know that In
diana cattle brought higher prices last
year than those from any other part of the
world? Well. it's fact. L know of one
Hereford calf that brought 81 100 at the
Kansas City cattle show, which is said to
be the largest in the world, and within a
month sold again for $1,000. l could men
ton many other similar cases where In
diana cattle brought the banner prices of
the wear"

ALLEGATIONS MADE
In Regard to the Bankruptcy of M
than Amberg, of Lafayette.

A suit was filed yesterday in the United
States Court by Edgar d. Randolph, trus-
tee. in bankruptcy of the estate of Nathan
Amberg, of Lafayette, against David NJ
Amberg and the Fowler National Bank
of Lafayette. The plaintiff claims that the
bankrupt aided by his brother David, de-
frauded his creditors out of much valu-
able merchandise. He says that the bank
rupt stated in his petition of bankruptcy
that he had no assets, when in reality
he owned a stock of clothing worth 5000,
which he transferred TO his brother, and
he charges further that mortgage was
given by Nathan Amberg to his brother
David on his store for $1,000, which plain
tiff alleges was done for the purpose of de-
frauding mis- creditors.
The trustee says that the profits from
the business of ,he store have amounted
TO $4,000 and part of this money is now
deposited in the Fowler National Bank.
The trustee asks that the court decree the
stock OF merchandise, the money deposited
In the Fowler National Bank and the book
accounts, a part OF Nathan Ambergs as
sets, to be turned over TO him for the
benefit of the creditors. He also asks that
the chattel mortgage be declared void.

GOLD FROM CAPE NOME
A LOCAL MINING COMPANY SUES FOR
FIFTY-SEVEN OUNCES.
The CO-Operative Mining Association
Of Indianapolis Is Divided
Against Itself.

A suit growing out of disagreement in
the Cooperative Mining Association of In
dianapolis, has been brought by the con-
Germ itself against two of the stockholders,
one being director. The defendants are
Fred s. Coffman, a director of the COM
pany, and William Keppel, who is a stock
holder and who served as deputy treasurer
while the company was operating in the
Klondike country.
The suits are to replevin valuable prop
erty which it is averred the defendants
have in their possession. 1t is charged that
Coffman has the title papers to certain
mining property in Alaska which he re-
fuses to deliver over to the company. 1t
is chared that William Keppel is in pos
session of fifty-seven ounces of gold dust
which came from the company's Alaskan
property and to which the company is
rightfully entitled. 1t is averred that this
gold dust is worth SIC an ounce and aggre-
gates in value the sum of 1912. The defend
ant asks judgment for $1,000.
James NJ. Robbins is president of the min
ing company and Edward Baker is secre-
tary. 1t was in the interests of this COM
pany that B. F. Gresh and a number of
uluerS WENT 10 AldSkd 1t Is UNDERSTOOD
that a melting was held last Saturday
which was attended by several of the 6i-
rectors. Coffman was not present, but
Keppel was there as a stakeholder. 1t is
said that a demand was then made on KEEP
pei for the gold dust or its equivalent, but
he declined to settle. 1t was then decided
TO bring suit. Keppel, it is said, holds that
he is entitled to all the gold he brought
back with him.
According TO the story of a stakeholder
in the company, Coffman sent on by
the company to locate some mining terri
tory in the Cape Nome country and to
take possession of it i'm the name of the
company. He went to Alaska with other
members of the company, but their steamer
got caught in the ice and they saw they
would be delayed. In order to lose no time
they sent Coffman ahead. They claim he
took possession of the title and the mines.
1t is claimed by one Of the stockholders
that Keppel acted as deputy treasurer for
the company in the Cape Nome country
until the regular treasurer arrived. AS
deputy treasurer, it is claimed. he came
into possession of the gold which 1t is
sought to recover.

Mrs. league was hurt while driving
across Massachusetts avenue in a carriage
It Is claimed a street car struck the car

board Of the vehicle with such violence
as TO fracture her ribs. II has been the
contention OF the street-car company's at

fractured and that she was not seriously
injured. They insist that after the accident
the woman was found sitting in the car

tion as 10 his clients injuries. Attorney
Pickens last Saturday took Mrs league
10 the office OF DR.. Eisenbeiss and had her
examined by the X-rays. Dr. Eisenbeiss was
later summoned to appear in court aud
tell what he saw. Judge feathers and the
jury appeared To be intensely interested
In the physicians evidence. He showed
how he used the machine and told OF the
result. Both the ribs and SPINE OF Mrs.
league were examined. he said.
he was unable TO discover any injury to
the spine by the X-rays but testified that
he found a transverse fracture of the sixth
and seventh ribs and also discovered cal
lous formation on each OF these ribs. The
testimony showed that the fracture was
clearly discernible by means of the X-ravs

motion OF the defendants attorneys To in

of this gold was not the present quartz
leads, but that 1t must have come from
quartz deposits. which were erroded dur
ing prior geological period, marked by
the ancient river channels.
The placer deposits which exist here
are very similar to those existing in the
Klondike. 1t will be. recalled that gold
was first struck along the creeks, and that
later it was found on the hillsides and
traced to Gold Hill. French HILL and
Cheechocee Hill, these Hills representing
positions of ancient channels which had
not been removed 10 the creeks below.
This being the case, ! see no reason to
doubt that during tie coming winter when
prospecting can be done with the aid of
thawing machines, these channels will be
located, and next season will see a very
largely increased production"
In connection with Mr.. Whitehead's fig
ures on the Nome output, which are much
smaller than were expected by the Nome
enthusiasts. the following statement given
out by Comptroller Roberts, is of inter-
est:

gregated SIT, 047, 555, and of Cape Nome

at both offices during the three months
was $50, pa So
The apparent discrepancy between Mr..
Whitehead's estimate of million and a
half and the mint figures of 81, 800 900, may
be explained by the fact that dust washed

year. Much Klondike gold taken to Nome

THE FLINT GLASS COMBINE.
A Cooperative Concern to Be Or
gnnized in Opposition.


John KunzIer, President Of the Amer
lean Flint Glass Workers Union. was the
only witness examined yesterday by the
Industrial Commission. The Commission
adjourned at noon, to resume its labors
Monday morning
or chief interest in tie evidence given
by Mr.. Kunzler was his statement that
the union which he represents was about
to start a cooperative establishment at
Summitville, Ind, capitalized at 81, 900,
which would employ thirty men. The
product of the plant would be confined, In
the beginning, TO the manufacture Of
bottles.
His testimony was a history of the or
ganization which he represents. which.
he stated, was organized in 1878. Glass
workers unions. he said. had been first
organized in the latter ffties. He gave
the present membership OF the American
Flint Glass Workers Union as $500, an
Increase of 2,G00 men since last year.
This increase he ascribed to the fornia-
ton of the National Glass Company, an
amalgamation of manufacturers of the
country. The disagreement of his union
with the United States Glass Company In
1893 was taken up by the witness. The
United States Glass Company was another
combine of the manufacturers, operating
at that time sixteen plants. The lock-
out which ensued lasted three and one
half years and resulted in victory for
the operators. The United States Glass
Company went non-union and the union
withdrew from the concern. The United
States Glass Company today. the witness
stated. is operating butIfve of the six
teen plants which 1t controls.
No sliding scale. Mr.. Kunzler said, was
in operation between the union and the
operators. Representatives OF the union
and representatives OF the National Glass
Company and independent concerns meet
every year, discuss and arrange for twelve
months the questions Of wages. hours, and
conditions of labor. So S1f
