WANTS TO SECURE SHARES
Minneapolis Lumberman Brings Suit
TO Compel Mt. Vernon Lumber
Co. to Issue Him Shares.

Suit has been commenced in the
United States district court at Sioux
Falls by O. K. Hobe, a prominent
lumber merchant of Minneapolis, to
compel the Mt. Vernon lumber COM
pany to issue to him 22O shares of
capital stock, which, he contends, he
contracted and which the company
agreed to sell him.
The lumber company, it seems,
thinks that Hobe wants to get con-
troll Of the concern so they refuse to
carry out the contract he claims to
have made.
The MI. Vernon Lumber Co. was
incorporated last April with a capitai
stock of S10O, 400 with Hon. John X.
johnson and others as incorporators.
The stock in the company is held by
business men and u large number of

For the past two months Mr.. Coursey

the highest ruling is obtained. Judge.
Abbey three months ago, when this
question first came up, cut mis- own
salary down to its former amount TO
await the decision of the attorney
general of the state, who supported.

%PLANklN1oN's FIRE LOSS
Seven Business Houses We're Con
sumed but Greater Part of
Stock is Saved.

The town. of P%lankinton suffered
another FIRE loss at an early hour Wed
nesday morning when seven business
buildings we're practically destroyed.
A telephone message was received
from EDITOR Taubman, of the Herald,
stating that a fire originated in the
| Williams restaurant early Wednesday
morning on the first floor of the
building. Three young men who
were sleeping in the second story
were awakened by the roaring of the
flames and..the intense heat and
barely had time to escape from the
burning building in their night
clothes. The flames spread to adjoin-
ing buildings and in a short time
seven buildings. were practically de-
stroycd.
The following is a list Of the los
ers: synder's drug store, Jones &
Chevalier's drug store, DeJean's
hardware store, Sewali's barber shop.
Williams restaurant, Mrs. Howard's.
millinery store, Kenyon's and o. p.
Auld's abstract Office. The report
was that the buildings we're practi-
.cally destroyed. but through the
efforts Of the citizens the greater
part Of the stocks in the stores were
saved.
No estimate Of the loss sustained
in the fire could he made at the pres
ent time, as it was a difficult matter
to get at the goods, which are stored
around in various places.
Hoyt Cox. whose photograph gal
lery was located over DeJean's hard
ware store, also lost some of his fix
lures. He received a card Wednesday
stating that some Of his goods
had been removed.

The weather for seeding operations
the past two weeks has been perfect, to
say the least. and the wheat will be prac-
tically all in at the end ofthe week. The
acreage, as near as we can learn at this
time, is about the same as last year, with
the exception Of the Geroux slough
neighborhood, which was flooded so
badly. In many places the coaser grains
are also in the ground.
