BRADLEY DENIES CHARGES
MADE BY STOCKHOLDERS

F. w. Bradley and other directors
of the Oroville Gold Dredging and
Exploration Company filed an answer
yesterday to the suit brought against
them by John Hays Hammond and
otl'er stockholders in the mining CON-
psny named. Bradley and co-defcnd-
ants deny that there exists any scheme
TO defraud the plaintiffs and say that
there is no truth in the charge made
by Hammond and others -hat the af-
fairs of the company are grossly mis-
managed. They also deny that Ed
win Schwab, w. c. Webb. w. r. Berry
and ~. Granger are without interest
in tie company and that they are
dummy directors placed on the direc-
torate to act as tools and puppets OF
w. H. Crocker and F. w. Bradley.
In regard to the charge that the de-
PENDANTS issued false proxies and sold
40, 200 shares of stock and converted
the proceeds to their own benefit the
defendants say that it is absolutely
without foundation. They admit SELL
ing the stock, but claim that the
money they received for it was invest
ed in new machinery and tools.

FOSTER AND OREAR WANT
TO CONDUCT NEWS STAND
Charge Fraud in Application to Court
to Prevent Commissioners Civ
ing Privilege to Rooney.


Charles Foster and Charles Orear.
who for a number of years past have
conducted the news stand at the ferry
depot, filed a suit yesterday for an In
junction restraining the Board OF
Harbor Commissioners from leasing
the privilege the petitioners have en-
jOyed for so many years to John F.
Rooney. a brother-in-law Of Harbor
Commissioner Spear.
They charge that unless the board
is enjo'ned Rooney will be given the
privilege because Of Spears influence.
in the face of the fact that they have
offered the Commissioners $500 a
month rent for the use of the space
they have enjoyed at a monthly rem
tai of $3.50.
The plaintiffs allege that when they
first learned that the board intended
to award the privilege to Rooney they
were paying a rental of $43O month.
They Immediately, offered $500 for the
privilege and subsequently offered
$11S0 when they learned that Rooney
was the choice of the Commissioners
Notwithstanding their raise in their
bid, the plaintiffs say. the COmmis-
SAOliStS Hldue up lueiI Ahlhu " BANC
the privilege to Rooney and refused 20
reopen the bids when the plaintiffs
offered to pay $500 month for what
they formerly enjoyed for $43O.
They ask for an Injunction on the
ground that the board, if allowed 70
make the award to Rooney, will con-
NIT "a fraud upon the people Of the
State of California. They say that
Rooney has never offered a bid for
the privilege and he has been favored
solely because of the presence upon
the board of Charles II. Spear, his
brOther-in-law.
