EPEs RANDOLPH Is SUING Hrs
PARTNER.
(From Fridays Daily

Epcs Randolph, railroad and mining
mngnate, and Lycurgus Lindsay, also a
mining man, have again locked horns
in n mining suit, this time in the su.
perior court Of Los Angeles, the former
demanding, through the suit, that the
latter be made to pay his share Of the
balance Of the losses in the Llanos do
Ora company, amounting to go, .82.
Old secrets are told In this com.
plant regarding the organization of
the company. and how Mr.. Randolph,
Mr.. Lindsay and Henry 8. Mackay
capitalized the company ut $4,000, 900,
and then divided the stock among
themselves. There being no treasury
stock, the three organizers decided 10
raise money for development work on
the lands OF the company in Sonora,
Mexico, by disposing Of promissory
notes of the company, with bonus Of
s4oo par value Of stock for every 900
loaned by the company. Eacn OF the
three stockholders contributed his
share Of stock 10 the bonus pool.
In this way, 1t Is acknowledged that
sA45,ooo was raised among their
friends and the public. But in spite Of
a big stamp mill and all kinds of i'm.
provements, no body Of paying ore was
found on the "Plains Of Gold.n This
being the case. II looked bad for tn,
stock values they hcld. To boost the
stock, Randolph and Lindsay, accord
ing to the complaint, entered into an
agreement in which Mackay did not
participate.
1t was about October o, 1906, THAI
the agreement between the plaintiff
and defendant was made, and IL con.
tinued until June Is, 1907. At that
time they stopped throwing good
money after bad In trying 10 develop

THE AVERAGE MAN,

The average man lives and diet
comparatively poor. He has no
the faculty for accommodating mon
ey; you could net pass laws enough
to make him rich financially. Tn,
exceptional man is made to MAXI
money; money seems to stick tt
his fingers, and you could not keep
him poor. The life history of the
man who has lived an unsullied
life and died poor is one of I'm
eventfulness. He is generally
generous-h hearted, and never as
pires to enrich himself. ALI he
asks is a decent living wcrthily
earned-a roof tree and food and
clothing for his family. Out of
his modest earning, he will prob.
ably save enough to pay for his
modest home-seldom more. he
gives his children common
school education and starts them
out in the world with a God bless
you" for their dover. He is hon.
orable in his dealings; he pays his
debts; he works hard and spends
little for luxuries. He seldom
complains of his lot, and never
knowingly commits against crime
against the state or humanity. He
loves much, and laughs more. He
may put by a few dollars for his
old age, but oftener not. When
he dies, men say of him He was
an honest man and good citizen.
We shall miss him." There is
nothing startling in the story;
nothing in it to exploit; just the
story of an average man-one of
the salts of the earth. We all
know or knew him and his kind.
He has lived accordingly to his
light, and his being has served his
purpose. No man is ever a failure
who has left behind him the in
fuenoe of usefulness and strong
integrity.

OFFICIAL STATE FLAG.

The West Virginia state flag, as
prescribed by law, consists of q
white field, surrounded by blue
stripe and this brodered with old
gold fringe. The proportion OF
the flag as to the length and
breadth is the same as that of the
National flag. The blue stripe is
not the dark blue of the National
emblem, but a lighter shade. On
the center of the white field on the
diverse side is the coat of arms,
painted in colors; beneath this is a
floating scroll of red silk, on which
is the legend, Estate of West Viz
ginia." On the reverse side oppo-
site the coat-of.arms is bunch of
rhododendon OF great laurel, in
leaves and flowers; beneath is the
same scroll and legend as on the
diverse side.
