Valuable Device.

Special to Times
Waterloo June 9.-Dr. w. e. Goche-
nour has invented tellurim which he
believes will revolutionize the method

and when set in motion shows the SUM-
moon and earth in their relative posi-
tions. The device can best been seen
in darkened room. The sun is repre-
sented by a lamp with Il reflector. The
machinery once in motion and the lamp
lighted, you see before you a miniature
model of the solar system moving with
the same. relative speed and conveying
an intelligent idea of the causes of day

of the moon, longitude and time. 1t

Sc1riVer Brothers of Brit Sue for
$4,000.
Special to Times Republican.
Ft. Dodge, June 9.-Papers We're filed
in the United States court here Satur-
day afternoon in two suits. aggregating
$4,000, against the Western Union Eel
egraph Company. The plaintiffs are C.
e. and G. r. Schriver, prominent cattle
men of Britt, Iowa, and the Bank of
Havelock, Iowa.
Back of the suits is the story of a
large and clever swindle, involving
Brothers in the first suit, for SS,972,
claim they sold eight cars of cattle for
that amount of r. s. Barnes. The pur-
chaser rendered in payment his indi-
vidual check on the Bank of Denison
Barnes orally represented to The plain
tiffs that he would have the Bank of
Denison wire the Commercial bank at
Britt, Iowa, where Schriver Brothers
transacted their banking business, that
the check would be hcnored and paid
upon presentation.
A message was delivered by the
Western Union Company which pur-
ported to be from the Bank of Denison.
The plaintiffs, on this security, de-
livered the cattle to Barnes, who took
them and disposed of them elsewhere.
When the check was presented to the
Bank of Denison payment was refused
for the reason that Barnes had no
funds on deposit there. Plaintiffs bring
suit against the telegraph company on
the grounds that the telegram was
false and was so known, or by the ex-
ercise of reasonable care and caution
ought to have been SO known. and ask
damages for the amount named, $S,972,
with interest.
The Bank of Havelock bases it's
claims for damages for $500 on the
same grounds, having released a mort
gage for that amount on the cattle.
AT the time the story of the swindle
was first told it was said that the tale-
gram was teiephoned to the Western
Union office at Denison by one of
Barnes confederates as coming from
The bank and that the Western Union
operator took it down and transmitted
It. The point in the suit will be the
of the company for a
message thus taken.
