STOCKHOLDERS JOIN SUIT
AGAINST MINING COMPANY
Owners of White Swan Shares Ask
Court to Enjoin Delinquent Sale
fOs ASSoScv1,or,f

The stockholders in the White
Swan Mines Company, or some Of
them, are going to take a hand in the
litigation already involving the corpo-
ration, its officers and promoters. The
suit begun yesterday names Horatio
Adams and 100 others, owners of 16S,
713 shares of the company's stock,
who ask for an injunction to pre-
vent the sale on October 15 of their
holdings for delinquent assessments.
They allege that their certificates
are fully paid and worcestershire; /;
that the assessment of cents a share
levied on June 21 is invalid because
the directors and the secretary who
called the alleged meeting at which
the levy was made were not legally
elected; that the debts of the mine are
not more than $4,000, while the as
sessment is for $56, ,160 so.
They say, too, that the assessment
is in furtherance of a scheme of J. N.
Woodward, former secretary, to have
the delinquent stock purchased by the
company. The complaint declares that
Major L. n. Lykke and c. H. Stuller
were not legally elected directors nor
the owners of the certificates of stock
claimed by them. The matter of the
forced resignation of Letson Ballet as
president and K. G. Shea as assistant
secretary is again recited.
