TO
APPEAR IN COURT
OLD TIVOLi AMUSEMENT CON-
PANY is IN TROUBLE
Holders Of Stock Are Sued by Firm
Employed to Make Excavation
for Foundations of
Building

Ranking as one of the largest suits II
is that of the Tryon-Brain Contracting
company against the twenty-three stock
holders of the Tivoli Amusement COM
pany, which was organized to build q
theater on South Main street, between
Eighth and Ninth.
The compliant was filed yesterday in
Justice Selphs court and alleges that the
contracting firm was engaged to do eXca-
waiting for the foundations and that work
was stopped by defendants, who have
since refused to pay for the work COM
pleted.
Under ordinary circumstances the suit,
which asks damages aggregating $2516.3 81,
would have been brought in the su-
perior court, but by apportioning to each
individual stockholder the amount to
which he is liable in proportion to the
number of shares of stock held, the sep
arate claims are kept within the legal
limit of $299 for township courts.
Plaintiff alleges that on August 15, 1904,
a contract was signed by E. Searelle and
j. T. Jeff, vice president and secretary
respectively, of the Tivoli Amusement
company, and w. C. Brain for the con-
tracing company, in which the plaintiffs
cubic yard for all dirt, gravel, ETC., re-
moved.
Terms of Contract
Forty per cent Of the price was to be
paid in cash and for the rest the con-
tractors agreed to accept shares of the
companys stock. Until November 19,
1904, the work of excavation progressed
RAPIDLY, when the defendants ordered
halt.
To that time 1887 cubic yards of dirt had
been removed, and it Is alleged that pay
was demanded and refused. To each in
dividual stockholder the contractors ap-
piled for payment with no better results.
Nor was any of TIA company stock Of
fered the plaintiffs, as was required by
the terms of the contract, copy OF
which is included in the complaint.
It Is further alleged that the defend
ants areed to apply to the superinterd-
ent of streets and secure permit for
the work, as required by ordinance, but
they did not apply for the permit and
plaintiffs were threatened with arrest.
AS the law holds each stockholder liable
for all the bills contracted by the corpora
ton there promises to be merry Legal
battle when the case is called for trial.
The individual stockholders named In
the complaint are: ]. v. Theis, a4O.16;
70. Searelle, s2OO.91; Abbot Kinney, $91.S1
]. F. Neff, $2O0.91; M. ]. Nolan, $36.52; q.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Because of the
advice given by Magistrate Connorton TO
John Stengle, meat dealer of Ninth
street and Vernon avenue, to "go home,
take the star boarder out in the lot and
thrash him." Long Island City is holding
it's ear to the ground. Stengle was hailed
to court by his wife, charged with aban-

Take a club, then, and come back and
let me know how you made OUT
Stengle left the court with fire in his
eye. Mrs Stengle said the story about her
star boarder was untrue.

EMPLOYE OF BANK
COMMITS SUICIDE
EXPERTS SAY HIS ACCOUNTS
ARE STRAIGHT
Despondent Because of III Health,
Teller of Local Institution Ends
It All by Drinking Car
boic Acid

Despondent because of i'll health and
fearing he would not be able to make up
the losses he had suffered while dealing
in stocks and bonds. John L. Schroeder,
for several years employed as book
keeper by the National Bank of Califor-
mia, committed suicide by drinking car
bolic acid some time Thursday night.
His body was found by his landlady,
Mrs. John w. Wilson, yesterday morning.
It was lying. fully dressed in Schroeder's s
room at 3017 Normandie avenue. The man
had been dead several hours.
Schroeder was one of the most trusted
employees of the bank. He handled large
sums of money each day, and as soon as
news of his death was received it was
feared that he might have been short in
his accounts.
Experts were placed on the books, but
soon announced that so far as they were
able TO learn everything was straight and
that none of the accounts had been tam
pered with.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-20
Was Man of Wealth

Schroeder was known among his COM
panions as a man of wealth. He had a
considerable sum of money invested in
stocks and bonds and according to his
acquaintances, has lost large sums dur
ing the last year. He has frequently
complained of these losses, but expressed
the hope of being able to recoup them.
About three years ago Schroeder's wife
died and since that time he has frequent
ly complained of feeling lonely. He and
his wife had been intimate companions
from the date of their marriage, and
her death affected him greatly
Two notes were found in Schroeder's s
room after his death. One was addressed
to Mrs. Wilson, his landlady, and in 1t
Schroeder requested that the second let
ter be delivered to R. W. Larritt. man
ager of the Westminster hotel. In this note
Mr. Schroeder requested Mr.. Larritt to
act as manager for his estate and said
that i'll health had caused him to become
d9spondent.
Mr.. Schroeder was 50 years of age and
had lived in Los Angeles during the
greater part of his life. His body is at
Bresee's undertaking establishment and
an inquest will be held there today.

Quite delegation of Stark and
Bowman county men were in the city
yesterday in the interest Of the organ
ization Of that county and the loca-
ton by the governor of the county
seat. Two sypdicates had interested
themselves in the county seat prob
lem and were pulling for Twin Buttes
and for Burke, a location further west
in the county. AS the Milwaukee ex-
tension was a large factor in the equa-
ton 1t objected to the steep grade
at Burke and therefore was interest
ed largely in the location of the coun-
ty seat at Twin Buttes, where the
ground is level.
A settlement Of the question has
been arrived at by the purchase OF
the land held by the Burke boomers
and tomorrow Governor Burke will is
sue proclamation for the organiza-
ton Of Bowan county and the loca-
ton Of the county seat at Hamilton,
which 1t it understood, will be the
name of the new town at Twin Buttes.
In view of the. fact that there is al
ready one Hamilton in this state it is
not likely this name will be retained,
as the postoffice department will not
accept the name under the circum.
stances. -,

HONORS FOR BISMARCK.
CAPITAL CITY CAPTURED MOST
OF THE HoNoRs AT GRAND
FORKS CONVENTION.

Z + :,
The members of the Bismarck
Council Of U. G. T., accompanied by
the band returned home from Grand
Forks Sunday afternoon in the special
car, and but few of the boys have yet
finished relating the pleasures Of the
trip. # e 81. 5,S
That Bismarck was prominent in
winning honors at the convention
cannot be gainsaid by those who were
in Grand Forks during the time ses-
sion was held. jS
The band received the first honors
by being designated to lead the pa
rade which was probably the best
feature ever occurring in that city. The
local council was prominent in line
when the prizes were awarded. The
fact that the big silver cup and the
$4,000 cash prize were brought to
Bismarck, gives local travelling men
the privilege of feeling highly elated
over the splendid showing they
made on this occasion.
Professor Murray's death-defying
leap from the roof of the Dakotah ho-
tel was a spell-binder for the citizens
of Grand Forks. Murray and his man
ager, Tom Hughes, are entitled to no
small amount of credit for the truly
sensational feat. Re
While Bismarck would liked to have
been designated as the Mecca for the
next annual session, the boys were
willing to give up their hopes for this
year to allow other portions of the
jurisdiction recognition. @ss s5.s
Calgary, up in, the province Of Al
berta, in Northwestern Canada, was
named as the meeting place for the
grand council next summer, and the

GOVERNORS TRIBUTE
TO TRAVELLING men

At the meeting of the U. c. T. at
Grand Forks, Gov. Burke of North
Dakota paid the following tribute to
travelingmen: .
The travelling man must of neces
sity be bright fellow to start with
otherwise he would not land his job,
for business men nowadays do not
employ billiards. ~, ~ Sd.
Secondly, he must be hustler to
hold the job after he lands it. He is
a good citizen for he meets the public
daily and knows human nature. He
knows how to live in any community
and adapt himself to circumstances.
I consider the commercial traveller
as an important factor of the best
citizenship. He is a good fellow in
every sense of the word and Is recog.
nized as such. socially, commercially
and professionally.
The travelling man occupies a posi-.
ton alone and distinct from any
other profession. To be a successful
member Of the profession, there is
much required Of the individual and
native ability to start with enters

BA..RRICADES
ARE NECESSARY IN BISMARCK
TO PREVENT RAvAGEs OF
CATTLE. -o.>.

The following letter has been hand
ed into the Tribune by an indignant
property owner who has gone to con-
siderable expense setting out trees
on his property:
Editor Tribune: Preparatory to
building a home in this city set out,
at considerable expense number of
shade and fruit trees and small fruits
and was advised it would not be neces-
sary to fence the lot, as under the
present herd ordinance, as it is to be
enforced by the city authorities in
lieu Of an ordinance which would cure
the evil have a kick coming on, am
pie protection would be assured. The
trees were scarcely set out before the
entire west side herd was busy
scratching themselves against the
trees with the result that number Of
them were broken OFF near the ground
and most of the others were more or
less pulled out Of the earth and the
small fruits were trampled out of
sight. This damage was repaired in
the hope that 1t would not happen
again; but 1t did happen again within
a day or two. Investigating, found
that instead of driving the herd along
the roadWays the herder allowed the
cattle to roam all over the country be-
fore getting to the pasture, and in fact
has made q practice Of driving the
cattle across lots to the injury Of
whatever Of value they strike and
covering the sidewalks with dirt filth
where they climb up and down the EN-,
bankment. The permitting OF such
practices as this will soon discourage
anyone from trying to beauty their
property. ! am compelled to build 4
fence about my property at an ex-
pense equal to the cost OF the trees.
It seems to me that In these times Of
supposedly modern enlightenment that
IT ought not to be necessary to build
q stoneWall around ones home In
order to protect oneself against the
ravages Of other peoples cattle and d
herder who seems obliyious to the
amount Of damage he infiicts.''
