COMPANY ACCUSES
FORMER MANAGER
Sensational Lawsuit Be-
gun in Shasta
County.

REDDING, Sept. pa sensational suit
was filed in the Superior Court to-day
by the Great Western Gold Company
againBt James ]. Chambers, a local min
ing operator, who was formerly general
manager, vice president and a director
of the Great Western Company, in which
Chambers is accused of having received
and converted to his own use in the ca
paclties aforesaid the sum Of at least $40,-
co.,"
The company goes on in its complaint
and recites several mining deals in which
Chambers is accused of having fraudu-
lently obtained large sums of money.
Notable among these was the deal con-
cerning the Afterthought copper proper
ty in this county.
The company claims it had Chambers
go from here to Salt Lake City to secure
an option on the l1iterthought in sum
not to exceed $50, GOO; that he entered
into conspiracy with w. F. Snyder and
one Mitchell" by the conditions of which
Snyder took the title to the Afterthought
in the sum of $4,000, gave an option to
the Great Western at $150,000 and when
the company made the first payment of
$20,000 Snyder paid $4,000 to the owners
of the Afterthought and $4,000 was divid-
ed among Snyder Mitchell and Chambers.
Several other alleged irregular trans
actions are charged against Chambers.
The suit attracts much attention here
and probably will have the same result in
Salt Lake City, where Snyder is at the
head of the Western Exploration Com
pany, prominent mining concern.
Chambers says there is no ground for the
suit, which he declares to be brought for
blackmail.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Sept 22.-That no one was
killed outright in last nights automobile
accident seems to be a miracle. The big
machine turned three complete somer-
saults down the twenty-foot embank-
ment and had thrown its occupants out
before 1t struck the ground a tangled
mass of wreckage This probably spared
the lives of the party.
All of the injured ones are improved to-
day with the exception of Mrs. de Sais-
set who is dangerously hurt perhaps
fatally. She is at the Red Cross Sani-
tarium and was operated on to-day.
Mrs COL who at first was not believed
to have received more than severe
shock and fright, had her collarbone
broken. She bore up bravely until after
her husband and son were attended TO,
when an examination showed she was
badly hurt.
Louis Col, the 14-year-old boy, is pain
fully hurt about the head and neck. Mrs
Col and her son were both about their
home to-day, but showed plainly the
marks of the accident p. A. Col is con-
fined to his bed His left arm is broken
in two places and he is hurt about the
head. The bone protruded through the
flesh of the arm.
Peter de Saisset is the only one besides
the chauffeur who is able to be on the
street. His shoulder is wrenched and he
is bruised some.
Corless, the chauffeur, declares the ac-
cident was due to "buckling" Of the
steering gear under the machine. He ad-
mits he was making between twenty and

sworn 10 by W. A Pless, special exam
iner Of pensions, who came out from
Washington TO investigate charges
against Captain Wood some time ago OF
procuring false afidavits and certificates
in three pension claims. According TO
the statements Of Federal officers, the ac-
cusation in at least one Of the cases is a
grave one
II is understood that the official eye OF
the pension department has been focused
upon Wood for some time, or at least
since there was considerable talk a few
weeks ago relative TO supposed scandals
in connection with the local end Of the
pension getting process.
The list Of charges, among other things,
alleges that Wood assisted IN procuring
a pension for Rose 3. Richards, secur-
ing the signature Of Brazil Grounds as

inducing him to make affidavit that he
was present when the woman signed
her name, when in fact he was not
Another charge is that in the latter
part Of July Wood induced Rush Menden-
hall 10 sign a blank affidavit which was
subsequently used in a pension claim.
The affidavit further charges fraud in the
procuring Of a certificate IN the claim of
one Mary Prather and that he collected
fees in all cases. Wood was arraigned
before Commissioner Sladen this morn
ing and released on $1,000 bonds. His
hearing viii be had next Tuesday

Established Land Agency.
Proprietors Will Handle Both Farm
and City Property.

The Minnesota Real Estate Bureau
is the name of a new business enter
prise which has been launched in New
Ulm. Messrs. Ed. J. Bobleter aid
Louis G. Vogel are the proprietors and
they have established land exchange
or agency. The first named gentle
man will have the active management
of the concern and it's headquarters
will be in his office in the Postofice
block, where he will conduct it's affairs
in connection with his insurance and
collection business. ~
Some weeks ago the Review made
the exclusive announcement of the in
tentions of Messrs. Bobleter & Vogel
but it was not until recently that they
were prepared to put their plans into
execution. Last week they issued their
first bulletin, setting forth the property
which they have at their disposal and
which they have placed upon the mar
ket. This bargain sheet is gotten up
in an attractive manner, containing
terse and well-worded descriptions of
the land they have to offer.
Prospective purchasers should have
no trouble in making selections as the
bulletin presents cultivated lands in
Brown, Nicollet, Sibley, Redwood,
Lac qui Parle and Kittson counties,
Minnesota, and Clark county, South
Dakota, the prices ranging from S2O
to S5l per acre. In addition they have
the agency for 200,OO acres of wild
land in the northern part of this state
and Wisconsin. This consists of both
timber and prairie tracts and lies prin-
cipally in Carleton and St. Louis coun-
ties. Minnesota, and Bayfield, county,

Death of Thomas McHale.

P. r. McHale received word las+
Wednesday of the death of his father,
Thomas McHale, which occurred at
the latter's home in McGregor, Ia,
and the following morning he left to
attend the funeral. Deceased was rs
years of age and his death came after
very brief illness. The following
sketch of his career is taken from the
columns of the North Iowa Times: i
Thomas McHale was born at West
Port, Ireland, on Dec. p, 1926. Many
years of his early life were passed in
Ireland where he attended school and
college, preparing himself for the
duties bf a Catholic priest. He gradu-
ated from college in Ireland, pro-
fcient in many of the higher branches
of learning, an adept in Latin and
having good knowledge of many other
languages, and very proficient in
mathem atics. After having obtained
this splendid education he changed
his mind and decided not to take up
the duties of the priesthood.
He came to the United States with
his parents when a young man and
after visiting various places, settled in
Iowa in NJ arch, 1855. Shortly after
ward he came to N1cGregor, where on
Jan. 26, 1868, he was married to Miss
Cecilia Mcclure. For a number of
years he was wheat buyer on the
streets of McGregor, for the grain firm
| of Hunting & Basset, buying wheat
when it was teamed to our city from
great distances and when nine or ten
warehouses were standing on the
banks of the Mississippi here. Com
petition was severe and good level
head was required for the business.

and Mrs. McHale are P. r. McHale,

school held their annual picnic Sunday
afternoon on College heights. The
weather was ideal and large crowd
participated in the festivities. Music
was furnished by the Concordia band
and and various forms of amusement
were provided. At 4 o'clock an athle-

Banner Crop Promised if Weather
Continues Favorable.
Wheat and Other Small Grain Have
Never Looked Better.
Corn is Tardy But Crop is Not
Likely to Prove a Failure.

Crop conditions in Brown county
could hardly be improved upon. All
the different varieties of small grain
are growing nicely and unless unfav-
orable weather develops there is every
indication that a banner crop will be
reaped in the fall. Optimistic reports
have been received from all parts OF
the county and it seems to be the con
sensus Of opinion that the yield will
be the best for several years. Friday
a Representative of the Review drove
through Cottonwood and Cambria
townships with Jacob Klossner, Jr.,
manager of the New Ulm Land & In
vestment company, and it was found
that the reports were not exaggerated.
All small grain is looking unusually
we'll. The past spring, with it's abun-
dance of moisture and general cool
weather, has proven very beneficial
and wheat has profted greatly. It has
had a healthy growth, having been
able to stool we'll, and is now in prime
condition. Many fields are now be-
ginning to head out and there is every
reason to believe thatit will fill out in
good shape and not run too greatly to
straw. The same may be said of oats,
which is also heading, and the only
danger to these two cereals is that the
weather in July and August will be
hot, with frequent heavy storms,
causing them to lodge.
Rye is practically safe and the yield
will be good. On high ground it has
about attained it's full growth and is
beginning to- ripen. By far the greater
number of the fields will be ready to
cut by July 10th and itcannot be greatly
damaged between now and that time.
Barley also promises we'll. It is we'll
advanced and is filling nicely. In one
field, where the grain had been sown
in damp ground, the yield was thin
and there were evidences of smut but
on the whole it has healthy appear
ance. All fields are remarkably free
from weeds and there should be very
small percentage of dockage.
Cornis notso encouraging. Although
there are a few pieces where it is as far
along as in ordinary years, still much
of it has had a retarded growth. This
is due largely to the fact that the past
spring was extremely wet and corn
planting was delayed thereby. Then,
too, the hot weather which is necessary
for it's development has been lacking,
but it will not be a failure by any
means. Some corn has been planted
within the last fortnight it being the
intention to utilize it for fodder.
Meadows and pasture lands show
the effects of the wet spring, the inun-
dation having killed the grass in many
timothy fields and some red clover be-
ing affected. In a few places millet is
above the ground but much of it is now
being planted. In scattered instances
farmers are plowing summer fallows
and a few of these will grow fallow
