Sues l.. H. Bentley
NJ. Il. "ebber of WinOna Charges
Misrepresentation and Fraud in
the Sale OF Gold Mine stock

NJ. Il. NeDber OF WinOna Charges
Misrepresentation and Fraud in
the Sale OF Gold Mine stock
Minneapolis Journal. Dec. 10
Marshall B. Webber of Winona,
Mimi, filed suit in federal court
at Minneapolis today to recover
s. 800 from Lester H. Bentley.
who he alleges in his complaint.
induced him to invest in mining
stock, under which he alleges to
have been false represen tations.
The investment was made in
July, 1907, when Bentley is al
legged to have represented to him
that he had large interest IN a
contract for the purchase of
l:2SS acres of mining and timber
land in the Michipocoten mining
district in Ontario, Canada.
The land was represented to
him, Webber AYERS, as being
rich in oxidized ore; that extern
sive operation had been started;
two shafts sunk and that the ore
OF $35 per ton grade was being
mined IN great quan titles. The
expense of mining was said to be
trifiing; that s. 900 worth of ore
had been mined at an expense of
only 500.
Further presentations are al
legged to have been made to the
effect that invest tors were being
paid 1t per cent monthly divid.
ends from operating profits.
, Relying upon the truth of all
representations, Webber says he
invested IS, 1000, but alleges in
his complaint that instead of
leaving the new corporation un.
incumbered the shareholders
were notified in May, 1908, that
Bentley had merely secured the
old charter of the LIE Page Min
ing company and had left the
business with $4,000 incumb-
rance on it.
AS second cause of action he
alleges that Bentley sold $4,000
shares, whereas he was to sell
not more than 400, 900 shares.
The damage alleged to have been
done him is s., 500. He is suing
for this amount, plus the amount
invested.

The winter season has fully
begun and the young men
and women of the country
should be looking around for
some profitable occupation. It
is Ger tainly fact that no pleas
anter or more profitable time
can be spent by these young peo-
pie than in attending some good
school. A good business school
can give these young people
within short time very good
course IN business branches,
and the Granger Business
School at Ortonville, Minn.,
which was established last fell
is certainly the place where
these things can be found. The
young man who wishes to make
himself more proficient in &C
counting for the purpose Of bet.
ter taking care of his own busi.
ness, whether it be farming or
anything else, can certainly Sc.
cure such training at q good bus

Its area is only GOO acres and its
height about $50 feet above the sea

In form and color it is like repos-

dicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum at
Rome. Overhanging the southern land

closely resembling a sentinel, which
has been dedicated to the memory of
Captain Cook The water of the IS
land is of a pale green hue. and any
thing dipped into it becomes of red

always plainly perceptible.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 12.-There will

ed last evening the knowledge or
plans of Candidate Taft or of John w.

they will meet during the campaign,
but there will be no private or public
discussion of politics at any such

Cincinnati on the date stated as the
one Mr. Bryan will be in the city
Mr. Tomlinson, in an interview,
said
There is no chance whatever of a
personal joint debate between Mr..
Bryan and Mr. Taft. We would not
object to one-in fact, personally
would like very much to be prese nj
at such a debate. There is however,
no necessity for one. as they are hold
ing a joint debate every day in the
newspapers and that will be as far "a

WAYNE TOWNSHIP.
"THs GRAND OLD RAG"

Two incidents connected with our
marine corps have happened within
the last month which bid fair to cause
some disturbance. The first was
three weeks ago when the sailors at
tached to the presidents yacht, the
"Mayflower" were refused admission
to a pleasure resort at Oyster Bay
solely because they wore the uniform
of their country. There was nothing
against the men-they had made no
disturbance in the community all sum-
mer and were regarded as having an
excellent character.
The second disturbance was day be-
fore yesterday when two marines in
Boston were sitting in a theater and
got upon their feet to show respect
to the flag of their country when the
orchestra played the Star Spangled
Banner" What happened? Did the
rest Of the audience arise also? Not
at all. The manager of the theater
came down and told the men to leave
the theater or to sit down.
The men left the theater. 1t makes
no difference that the men are re-
quired by service regulations to pay
respect to the flag. They would have
done it any way-and they would
have gone out anyway.
But what are we coming to?
Is 1t the fault of the people or the
fault of the management of pleasure
resorts.
It is the fault of the people. If the
people of the United States were in
sistent that proper respect be paid to
the uniform and the flag of the Unit.
ed States-no amusement manager
would dare insult either one. More
over It is commentary on that au.
dience in Boston that the only men
who were on their feet were two ma
rines. II that audience had had red
