a Chicago colonization company some land

owner The colonization company induced
my folks TO buy I'VE quarter sections OF
land 81 $50 per acre, making total in
vestment OF $1,000 They paid 500. or 81 per
acre cash 10 the colonization cPmpany.
'TFhe company became bankrupt a few
months later and the $50 which my folks
had paid was never delivered TO Mr..
Kountze notwithstanding the fact that
MT Kountze received 40 part OF this
money, yet he agreed 20 credit II the
same as n received.
when the notes became due and they
could not pay. then he allowed a years Cx-
tension and at the end OF that time, when
they could not pay he agreed 20 apply on
one Of the quarter sections Of land the $500
which they had paid 70 the colonization
company. partly covering the Eve quarter
sections OF land. The contracts covering
the other four quarter sections were then
surrendered to Mr. Kountze and the SlOl

was all the money he ever received for has

AN ALCOHOL TRUST.
Big Concern Organized to Handle the
Denatured Article.

New York, Oct. 18.-The Industrial
Alcohol company is the name of the
company organizing to handle the de-
natured alcohol business of the Dis
tilers' Securities company. It has been
incorporated with capitalization of
S18,00O,000 of which 5000. 600 is pre-
ferred stock and $12.000,000 common.
F. NJ. Harrison, who is a director of
the American Distributing company. a
subsidiary of the Distillers' Securities
company, is slated for the presidency.
The organization of the company
was foreshadowed two weeks ago in a
statement given out by Dittenhoener,
Gerber & James In the statement
the law firm said it had been retained
by a large stOckholder of the Dis
tillers' Securities to prevent the new
company from absorbing the denatur-
lied alcohol business of the company
on the ground that the holders of Dis
tillers' Securities stock would suffer. A
representative of the firm said he had
just heard Of the formal organization
of the company and had communi-
Gated with the firms client. The ac-
ton, he said would be begun unless
the client had changed his mind.
