Bucketshop Proprietor Answers Suit -Natu Of Business

A suit was commenced in the dis

Cummings & Co., grain and stock
brokers with offices in Fargo and head
quarters in ST. Paul. The amount in
volved is $1,270.
In the complaint it is set up that
Richter the plaintiff, deposited with
A. J. Cummings the sum stated, which
Cummings is charged with having APP
%propriated to his own use. The deal
is said to have been made at Great
Falls, Mont, where A. ]. Cummings
has a branch Office, which was sub

was filed, in the United States circuit

found that Cummings Gid not, execute

Cummings also went to Buffalo, N.

Mr.. Hartsock also represents claims
for other persons ranging from $500 to

After this record Mr.. Cummings
went to Great Falls, Butte and Helena.

office that the transaction recited by
Mr.. Rickter is said to have occurred
Mr.. Rickter's representatives have
been trying to locate funds of Mr.
