Lisbon, June 11.-Cases are now
pending in the court at Lisbon, in
which a number are fighting to get out
of the net in which they were caught.
Last fall man appeared north of this
place and sold territorial and patent
rights to number of farmers, cover.
ing all the territory between Salem,
Leetonia and Lisbon. He sold the
rights for a patent churn, which was
claimed to be wonder and superior to
anything on the market. A number
of the farmers and even some men in
the towns swallowed the seductive talk
of the agent and many of them bought
territory.
In most cases the farmers gave notes
when they purchased territory. The
men who had been given the right to
sell churns, made a canvass of their
neighborhood and took large number
of orders. When the churns arrived
IL was found that the claim made by
the agent as to the superiority of the
churn was pure fabrication. The
farmers would not use them and many
used them for kindling wood.
The agent sharper sold nearly all the
notes he secured from the easy farmers
to the First National bank of Leetonia.
The notes secured by the agent
amounted in all to $4,000. When the
bank secured the notes 1t began press

IMPORTERS NOW FACE
CONTEMPLATING DUTY.

8 Cargo OF Russian Sugar Has Arriv-
ed In New York Fnrbor.
NEW YORK, February 26.-Laden
mostly with Russian sugar, the ship
Darlington reached port to-day at
half-past ~ O'Clock and put the
importers face to face with the ques-
ton of paying Secretary Cages coun-
tervailing duty. &. A. jain & Co. are
interested in a large part of the ships
cargo and will contest the matter in
the courts after paying the duty under
protest. Wallock Muller & Co, how
ever, and the HillsB ros. Co., and 9TH
ers will divert the sugar from the mar
kets for which it was originally in
tended and escape the duty by selling
it outside the United States.
The Russian sugar is the refined sort
and OF a crystalline quality. Its CHIEF
characteristic is a large percentage of
s2ccharfne required by the Russian
government, which makes it especially
good for melting" importers say it
has increased in favor in this country
with manufacturers and especially
with confectioners.
