The suits We're brought by f.. IL
O'Conner and number of Dallas coun-

Der of Guthrie county men, about
twenty in all, with policies in the
Northwestern. Their claims aggregate
eight or ten thousand dollars. The
suit is very simple. The claim is made
that q certificate of this character is
a contract which can not be terrnin-
ated without the consent of both par
ties to it, and that the attempted sale
of Minneapolis company is a breaking
of the contract by the company, hence
the certificate holders are entitled to a
return Of their money they have paii
in. Preparation for the suit has been
going on some time, but it did not come
to a head until last evening, and in
the meantime the assets OF the COM
pany We're already practically turned
over to the Minneapolis company. Tbs
will not affect the status of the suit.
AS matter of fact certificate holders
have been filing into the office of au-
ditor of state for some time making
inquiries as to the status of their con-
tracts and letters galore have come ask
ing what is being done Other suits
have been settled but this is such an

being likewise destitute of accommoda-
tions. If the council passes the ordi-

doubts this truth. Adam may have
doubted 1t when he first took spade in

of few thousand years we have learn

good thing in the world. 1t is not a

Special to Times Republican
Fort Dodge, Sept. s.-The theory that
G. c. Perfater. the missing Minneapo-
lis & st. Louis agent at Burnside, who
was formerly night operator for the
company at the local offices, met foul
play on last Friday night by alleged
suspicious characters lurking about the
depot, has been dispeiled by the dis
covery that Perfater took the 1880
train out of Burnside that night for
Fort Dodge, and was in this city over
Sunday. as on Monday morning he
purchased ticket for Chicago over the
Great Western.
& An erroneous impression has been
Circulated that Perfater must have met
with foul play, that the quiet town Of
Burnside was af1re with excitement
over the affair and that searching par
ties had been hunting the vicinity for a
clue OF the missing agent. 1t was
learned at Burnside yesterday that
such a state of affairs does not exist
Comparatively little attention has been
paid to the matter either by the COM
pany or the people of Burnside. as
Perfater's disposition was so peculiar
that his actions are hardly a surprise.
Perfaters melancholy disposition and
pessimistic ideas, coupled with his poor
health and the overwork caused by the
large business during state fair week.

to have without doubt brought on a

him to leave so mysteriously.
His wife and little daughter are In
Chicago. To these he was very much
attached, and it is believed that brood
ing over their absence may have caused
him to board the first train for Chicago
in order to join them.
