COL. GREENE FLEES
 FROM SUMMONS.
Sudden Departure for Mexico Following Nasty Dividend Causes His Stocks
 tO Shrink in Value.

QGDdIIuIG 1Ol hChlOO caused the Greene stocks to tumble downward in way that indi- cated they may yet touch a lower record than they made few weeks ago.
 1t was learned that the summons had been procured in order to pre- vent his leaving town as he was to be made party to civil suit which is to determine the source of the divid- ends which have already been de clared.
 The great Mexican mine mystery worried the curb more than any af- fair in recent years. The publica- tion of the Glover report dropped the Greene stocks to the bottom a weeks ago, but the spirit of the coloners friends were fortified by his announcement from Chicago that he intended to rush back to New York at once and put anyone in jail who had said an unkind word about his mine
 He returned quietly and without fireworks. He had procured a war rant in Mexico for Glover's arrest, he said, but this only called for the laughter of friends and foes alike, and they waited for him to do some thing.
 On the 5th of July he declared a dividend in Greene Gold of twenty cents a share, the stock being S1O a share at par.
 The regular date for declaring the dividend is July 20, but the date was set ahead in order to head off a pending injunction.
 GREENE SUES DIRECTOR HUSTON FOR
 S2OO,674.42.
 one day last week, but had nothing to say.
 Information from New York, how ever, is to the effect that E. B. Tus- tin, former treasurer of the Greene Consolidated Copper company, who resigned a short time ago, and whom Col. Greene accuses of having insti- gated the attack on his gold mining property, is still on the rampage.
 Col. Greene has just filed suit against Tustin in the supreme court of New York to set aside the agree ment which they formerly had, and to recover a large sum of money from him. The amount asked by Col. Greene is S2OO, ,674.42.
 Col. Greene's petition alleges that on December l, 1904, they signed an agreement which Tustin was to carry 5000 shares of stock of the company until the market price should reach $50 share, when he was to sell the stock and out of the proceeds Greene should be paid S1OO,OOO, all the other interest in the stock or the proceeds to belong to Tustin. In the event of any advance being received by Greene meanwhile it was to be cred ited on account of the $100,000 that he would become entitled to.
 Col. Greene charges that on April 4, 1903, there was an account stated between himself and Tustin, and a balance was found to be due him (Greene) amounting to S155, ,625.75, arising out of stock and money tIans- actions and a further sum Of S45,- 045.67 on a claim for moneys laid out and expended and loans made at diff ferent times. When the written agreement was made between them last December MT. Greene says Tus- tin had 8,763 shares of stock of the company in his possession, and it was contemplated that Tustin should al ways hold at least 5000 of this free and clear of all claims, thus creating a relation of trust and confidence be- tween them.
 He charges that Tustin has at tempted to defeat the purpose of the agreement. He also charges that Tustin has circulated false and slan- derOus reports concerning his man. agement and conduct of the business of the company, which directly af- fected the market price of the stock and caused it to remain at a low fig | ure. He asks that the agreement be- | tween them be set aside and that he | have judgment against Tustin for the full amount of his claim against him. HE Is ALSO ATTACKING. TUSTIN ON
 WALL STREET.
 Following up the filing of this suit, Col. Greene is also said to have de- Clared vigorous war on MT. Tustin on Wall street. In graphic circu- lar issued to the stockholders of the Greene Consolidated Gold company, Col. Greene describes his former col league as ''rattlesnake, " bankrupt in health, reputation and friends" and adds that he is deluded, and un- fortunate.
 TUsTIN SAYS ''CoLoNEL BILL IS A
 BLUFFER.'
 Mir. Tustin is also making some fiery declarations apd promising a big sensation later on. He is quoted as saying he was glad Col. Greene is suing him because he can show him up. He also says Col. Greene is d big buffer. 'If I am an unfortunate
