The regular annual meeting of the
United Oil company was held last
Tuesday evening in the Boston build.
ing in Denver There was 10 900

company New York gentlemen present
we're Messrs. Isiah Joseph, Jacob

city. There was also present Mr..
Sylvester Everett Of Cleveland, and
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Dodge of Cincin.
natl. also Mr.. Selah Chamberlain of
Cleveland, who represented Ohio in
terests in the United Oil company.
The large majority of the stock
WAS represented by proxy by persons
who we're at the meeting The re-
ports of the various officers of the
company we're made after which NOM
nations for directors were made.
Crawford Hill. L. M. Cuthbert, Syl

lain, und Mr.. Dodge were nominated.
Upon ballot being taken Mr.. Dodge
failed to be elected thereupon the
other seven were chosen as members
of board of directors for the next
year. The meeting finally adjourned
about 10 80 p m.
The principal matter of interest
to the people of Florence, namely.
the suit brought by MIR. Wallace
against the United Oil company and
others, WAS by the stock holders re.
ferred to the new board of directors.
We understand that the board at their
meeting yesterday afternoon decided
to permit the suit to 20 along as
against the Inland Oil company,
and that so far as it applied to the
United Oil company and other de.
PENDANTS, 1t should be dismiss sed.
This action practically leaves the
matter ~ suit between the Unit.
ed Oil company and the Inland
people and will have no disturbing
effect whatever upon the United
Oil company. The new officers chosen
by tile board Of directors are L. N.
Cuthbert, president; 5elah Chamber
Ian, vice president; Crawford Hill.
secretary and treasurer
From all Of the above we reach
the conclusion that after all the
trouble and agitation in the United
OIL company affairs, the suit of Mr..
Wallace has not resulted In anything
of Importance 30 far az Mr.. Wallace
Is personally concerned. The practi-
cal results have been to eliminate
from the company Mr.. RAthvon, who,
