The decision of the Supreme Court in
affirming a judgment against David A
Coulter, of Frankfort, in favor of Jerome
Clark, a farmer who invested in the stock
of the Clinton County Hedge and Wire
Fence Company as a result of Coulter's rec
ommendation, has aroused interest in the
suits of Edward j. Robson and other
against the Indiana Hedge and Wire Fence
Company, of which the Clinton county
company was branch. The Indiana Hedge
and Wire Fence Company was promoted by
Stirling r. Holt and Thomas Taggart and
David "A. Coulter assisted them in organiz-
Ing the Clinton County Company The
Indiana Company Is now in the hands of a
receiver. A number of prominent Indianap-
oils citizens owned stock in the concern.
and IL Is understood that some Of them
are out between 81 300 and 81, 400 each. 1t is
alleged that Taggart and Holt contracted
with Edward Millett, of Louisville to buy
patent rights for 5000 but kept the con-
tract quiet, and after organizing the Indi-
ana Company arranged for ii to buy the
rights for $4,000 In the Supreme Court
decision against Coulter Judge Downing as
serted that lat the time the representations
were made by the appellant Coulter il is
alleged that he knew they were false and
that the patents were worthless and the
stock of no value. The appellant was not,
as he professed to be, a disinterested bust
ness man seeking a safe and promising in
vestment, but he was the secret agent and
tool of third parties to dispose of their
worthless property.

An American in a European Port.

Frank g. Carpenter, the great Amer
lean traveller. writing FROM the ejtv of
Antwerp, Belgium. has many interest
ing things to say ia one of the current
papers, He describes this ancient city
of 10000 as the gateway for oul' COM
mercial invasion ofContinental Europe.
By means of canal and rail it is bound
to every part of Germany, France,
Holland ard Belgium. The city, except
while under Spanish rule, has always
been prosperous. Napoleon, ever alive
to the strategic Importance OF a place
from the standpoint of commerce as
we'll as of war, spent SIC, 000, GOO in the
construction of docks which are still in
active use. Carpenter says that the
city is growing fast, that it's hustle and
industry remind one Of cities on this
side of the Atlantic. Cars. distributing
far inland the products broaght to the
port in ships, number not less than 25Co
leaving the city each day.
But what of America and American
products in Antwerp Carpenter saw
piled high on the banks of the river
Scheldt barrels of petroleum with the
unmstakahle mark OF the Standard
Oil Company: near this he saw a large
brick elevator which was being filed
with wheat from our great Northwest.
In the lumber yards were great piles of
American lumber, mostly from the
southern states He found corn and
products of corn The Swift Packing
Company of Chicago was represented
| by canned meats of all kinds, Even
| the ZONES and the hair OF our hogs had
not been allowed decent burial but
we're being sent Oh sacreligiously TO
Germany and Russia, the bones for
buttons and tooth brush handles, the
hair to stuff furniture. There was lard
for the Belgian cook and ham for the
Belgian table. There was American
cotton for the famous spinning mills oil
Client which use large amounts; this
