FISH BRANDS HIS FOES
Calls Them Ingrates- Aft
davit Tells of Story of
Treachery.

Chicago. Dec. 14.-Stuyvesa Fish
turned on his antagonists in the Hi
nois Central suit yesterday, and in an
affidavit bristling with sarcasm an
swers their charges against him. With
out equivocation he announces that it
is his intention, if he is victorious at
the election on Dec. is, to Dust F. H
Hartman and his supporters from the
board Of directors.
The affidavit was submitted to Judge
Ball, before whom the motion to dis
solve the injunction secured by Fish is
up for hearing. It is a reply to a series
of similar documents filed by the Har-
riman- Harahan forces on Thursday.
After stating that as vice president or
president Of the Illinois Central from
1882 until last year he held the proxies
for majority of the outstanding stock,
he declares it was his influence that
placed Hartman and six other OF his
present opponents on the board Of di-
rectors
1t is set forth that Robert w Goe-
! let personally asked for the position
because it had been held by his father,
the elder Goelet. yet the young man
hurried back from Europe to depose
his benefactor on the request of Harri-
man.
Prevented Ousting of Harahan.
Mr.. Fish asserts that he elevated
J. t. Harahan. who is now president
to the vice presidency, brought about
many and large increases in his sal
airy, and refused to consent to his dis
placement on the demand or the said
Hartman and the said Peabody when
several years ago the said Harahan fell
sick. the said Hartman and Peabody
claiming that he had outlived his use
fulness to the property
The first tilt with Hartman, Mr. Fish
asserts, came when he defeated the
efforts Of Hartman and Peabody to es-
Itablish an executive committee with
discretionary power. Their emnity
was increased, he says. by his refusa
to participate IN withdrawing the Of
fcials of the Mutual Life Insurance
company. the investigation Of which
created such stencil in the nostril:
OF the American people"
The affidavit then recites the begin
ming Of the fight. the purchase by Kuhn
Loeb & Co. fiscal agents for the UnioI
Pacific, OF vast amounts OF Illinois Cen
trail stock. and the arguments leading
Eup 10 the agreement on successor 4

Lexington, KY Aug. 23.-Dr
ID. d. Bell, one Of the best known
veterinarians in this city, has been
called in to youch for the finding OF
a gold watch in the lung of a COW a
short time ago, by +. Dryden. a
butcher, and also appointed referee
IN controversy over the claim to
the watch made by the original own
er, Israel Ridge.
DR.. Bell says that in the spring of
1901 Mr.. Ridge was at work in his
barnyard when a calf got hold of his
waistcoat and chewed it up. He
could not find his gold watch, but
when he sold the COW few months
ago to Mr.. Dyren he said he believed
the animal had swallowed his gold
watch SIX years before and Iokingly
told the butcher to look out for it.
Mr.. Dryden found the watch in
the left lung of the COW. He says
the watch was running and recorded
the correct time wi in ten minutes.

Now is the time when the whole

in the thoughts Of nations, aud

though perhaps still a dream, il
admittedly more akin to reality than
it ever was in the lifetime of tn,

may not yet have come, but the err
when nearly all men wish and hop,
for universal peace has certainly
come, and that of itself Is an i'm.
