Having made his answer, the defend

ELMER SUMMERS SAYS HE WAS
vIcTIMIZED.
CHARCES.FRAUO AND DECEIT
Repudiates Alleged Contract to be In
cIuded in Progressive Men
Of Montana"

An appeal has been filed in the dis
trict court from a judgment rendered
in the Justices court against Elmer
Summers, who says he has been made
a victim Of the 'writeup' man. The
case is a peculiar and interesting one.
Almost two years ago, or to be more
particular, October 1, 1901, a mar
made his appearance in the city, who
said he was canvassing for a forth
coming work to be known as PRO
gressive Men of Montana" He solic-
tied subscriptions to the contemplated
book and incidentally made it under
stood that upon the payment of an ap-
propriate sun the person making thu
payment would be accorded the dis
tinction of being included in the list
of those so progressive that they were
deemed worthy of being made the
subject of a special publication ex-
tolling their merits in that respect.
For a little more evidence of pro-
g~ressiveness they would be honored
Still higher by having their picture
printed in the book.
The number of men of progress was
SO great in the state that when the
book appeared it was decidedly volu-
minous, a little smaller, perhaps, than
a dictionary, but a great deal larger
than the p~rayerbook carried by the
average progressive man of Montana.
Mr.. Summers name was among the
select and the agent politely requested
payment of the insignificant sum OF
SIS, and as evidence of the indebted
ness drew a contract on Mr.. Sum
mers purporting to have been signed
by him and agreeing to pay the amount
named. Mr.. Summers, it appears, re-
pudiated the debt and claimed that
the signature purporting to be his was
a forgery and that he v signed
that or any other contract like it.
Upon this the other man, A. H.
| Bowen, filed a suit against Mr.. sum,
| mers in Justice Fraser's court. In his
complaint he alleged that the defend
ant had not paid the contract price OF
the book or any part thereof, but
continues to plead the baby act and
delay it's collection"
Mr.. Summers answer denied all OF
Bowen's allegations and set up The
claim of fraud and forgery and de-
MED that he had entered into the al
legged contract. He furthermore made
| denial of the charge that A. Bowen &
Co., the alleged publishers of the
book, lis a real firm and alleged h a
the company is a fictitious concern
and that the name and style do not
show the persons interested, and that
the principal place of business OF the
concern is in Lewis and Clarke county.
He also charged that the alleged firm
had not complied with the law as re-
