BY FORMER PARTNER,
Peter NJ. King Charges George
j. kobusch Has Refused
to Settle.
FILES CLAIM OF $4,000.
Seventeen Thousand Shares of
Central Traction Securities and
Paper of Kinloch Company
Among Alleged Assets.
FILES CLAIM OF $4,000.

George ]. kobusch, president of the st.
Louis Car Company. who is under indict-
ment in connection with the Grand Jury's
investigation Of the Central Traction leg
isiation. of which he was promoter, is
a defendant in suit filed yesterday in the
United States Circuit Court by Young &
Ruler and Morton Jourdan. attorneys for
Peter NJ. King of Elizabeth, N. J., asking
for an accounting of a partnership which
the plaintiff claims in indebted to him
in the sum of $4,000.
Kobusch and King were equal owners in
several enterprises, which promoted GER
tain inventions of Kings. This partner
ship was established on January /. 1893.
and continued until May, 1889. during which
time King says that he devoted his time
and invested s27,5O0 in the business of the
firm. He now declares that all that he has
been paid from the profits was $1,000 and
stock in street railway company at Pat
terson, n. j., which netted him only 5000.
SIGNED STATEMENT.
1t is stated iDfhe petition that on March
%, 1897, when 1.-THE plaintiff was about to
depart for a visit to Europe, that kobusch
gave him written statement setting forth
that they were joint owners Of street rail-
ways az oShosu, w 49,, 6uu hdlduidLOos
Mich, and gas plant and telephone sys-
tenn in st. Louis. He declares that these
properties are either being held by Ko-
busch or have been disposed of without
his consent.
The court Is asked to summon Kobusch
and order him to render an accounting Of
the stocks and bonds in his custody. that
the plaintiff may determine his equity and
enforce division. The defendant will be
allowed a certain time by the court to file
his answer or comply with the mandate.
The proceedings were brought in the Fed
eral Court, because Of Kings nonresidence.
CENTRAL TRACTION STOCK.
Interesting. because of the recent Doodle
exposures brought to light by Circuit At
torney Folk, is the statement made in
Kings petition that on September 81, 1895,
the firm came into possession of 1900
shares OF the capital stock Of the Central
Traction Company Of the aggregate value
of $3I4.0D. The same year, the petition
states. the company acquired a large share
of the stock of the kinloch Telephone Com
pany, supposed TO be worth $4J0,OOO. The
holdings In other properties were not so
valuable
Killing declares that, although he has re-
peateoly asked for a settlement, that he
has failed to secure a satisfactory account
ing and that the sum Of 81, 600 represents
all that he recovered from his efforts and
investments.

RAIN AND LIGHTNING
DAMAGE MANY HOUSES
Flooding OF Cellars and Sewers Causes
Most OF the Small Losses From
Early Morning Storm.

Rain and lightning early yesterday MORN
ing caused considerable damage in different
sections of the city. Lightning struck sew
eral buildings. and the heavy downpour Of
rain caused the sewers to choke. Many
cellars were flooded.
On Chouteau avenue between Ewing and
Jefferson avenues the sewers were so filled
with water that they were unable to carry
It off. AS a result the streets were filled
with water and the sidewalks covered.
In many places when the water was final
ly carried away through the sewers mud
several inches deep was left on the side
walks.
With the downpour of the rain persons
who have suffered from the excessive heat
expected relief. but the torrent OF water
made it necessary to pull down windows
and the expected relief was not experienced
until the rain had ceased.

was covered with water, and Mr.. Strauss
estimates the damage to his building and
stock at $500.
At Spohr's tannery. Montrose and La
Sale streets, clogged rain#pipes held the
water on the roof, which gave way, and
the plant was flooded.

About $4,000 Was Distributed

LIST OF THE WINNERS.
Mcdowell Led, With Johnny

Sidney Bonner, a COIored Jock
ey, Rode Most Winners.

Cincinnati, June 11.-Conservatively
estimated, the meeting which closed at
Latonia Saturday netted the club $780,
600, but out of this must come the ex-
pense of maintaining the plant for an
other half year, and that is no little
item. 1t was of incalculable benefit to
the business interests of the city. and
the merchants gave it merited encour-
agement.
During the 16 days the distribution to
the horsemen was s63 1913, a fraction less
than $4,000 per day. Woodlake's vic
tory in the Derby put T. c. Mcdowell,
Of Lexington, at the head of the list of
winning owners; Esherin's winning of
the Oaks gave to Johnny Schorr. son of
the Memphis brewer, second standing
in the list. Clay Bros. are third by
virtue of the winning of the Cincinnati
Trophy with Paris and the Harold
Stakes with Lonsdale J. W Pugh
comes next in the list, with Fonsoluca's
Cincinnati Hotel Handicap as the chief
victory of the stable George Hendrie
is found in the next position by the vic
tory of Reservation in the Decoration

Brewers Handicap for Rome Respess,
and that put him sixth in the list. The
Steeplechase Stake went to Mrs. Gran

John S. Brattons standing among those
winning more than s.. 600. The German

FATE OF THE EAGLE.
Protected in Some Countries, Hunted
in Others.

In New York, Connecticut and some
other states the eagle is protected and
the slayer of one is made to pay a good
round fine or go to Jail In Norway the
eagle is recognized as a public enemy,
a price is put on its head, and bounties
are paid on 500 or 600 eagles a year.
Now an eagle is an eagle, in New York
or in Norway, and 1t might be thought
that the same treatment would be met
ed out to it in both countries, says that
good sheet of the sportsman, Forest and
Stream. 1t is altogether a question Of
how much harm it does. In Norway
the bird is abundant and preys on other
creatures which man considers of more
value than the eagle. In some parts Of
America the bird is now extremely
rare, does comparatively little damage
to wild game or domestic stock and is
not only tolerated. but regarded with
the sentiment which attaches to most
forms of animal life which have become
but as remnants and survivals. The i'm

lambs. there is no disposition to protect
it. Man never cherishes wild creature

Barth is this:
"A man takes his place in a hole dug
