Sensational Minina Suit.

A sensational mining suit has been
filed in the superior court at Nevada
Cal, in which Lesion Balliett is one
of the plaintiffs. He and E. G. Willard
asked the court to issue an Injunction
and restraining order to keep the di-
rectors of the Creek Mining company
from resembling an assessment at a
meeting to be held in Truckee Thurs
day. The plaintiffs charge that the
large stockholders want to rescind
the assessment so as to defraud the
smaller owners, while the latter say
the assessment will redeem the prop
erty, besides leaving balance in the
treasury. 1t is also charged that the
books are kept in the state of Iowa,
except at the times of annual meet
ings when they are taken out of the
state again. The complaint alleges
that this is done for the purpose of
preventing other directors knowing
what is done in order to defraud the
stockholders.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

Alta Book of Chicago, the natural
child Of Francis M. Stern, a half in
terest in the latter's estate, which con-
sists Of farm land near Mitchellville,
valued at about $4,000. Embodied in
the order is clause providing that
$4,000 shall be paid at once to the di-
rect heir for pin money. Francis M.
Stern was wealthy Polk county far
mer and stock-raiser. During his life
time child was born to woman who
did not bear his name The child
was given home and surrounded
with many luxuries. When Stern died,
Dec. s, 1902, it was his desire that the
child Alta inherit her share of his
wealth, there being no surviving heirs
aside from brothers and sisters and
other more distant relatives. G. l..
Henney was appointed administrator
|of the estate, which was claimed by
the brothers and sisters. The right
of the child was challenged. The
controversy led to stipulation of set

mated by the order of court last week.
Alta married and went to Chicago
with her husband to live.
