Herbert H. Clark Tells Story of
Persecution.
Charges Former Partner With
EncOmpassing His Downfall.
DRAGGED INTO COURTS
Compelled to Defend Himself in
Libel Suits.
Federal Jury Gives Him So, ,25O
Against f. E. Lester.

If the story that Herbert H. Clark, a
former linseed oil manufacturer, told
on the witness stand in the United
States circuit court Friday afternoon
is true. he has certainly been a badly
prosecuted man. AS a partial balm
for his troubles a jury awarded him
damages to the extent of $3.50
against his former business partner
and associate. F. E. Lester, formerly
of Fredonia, Kansas. whom Clark
stated had threatened him with finan-
cial ruin as well as breaking up his
home.
Clark has been residing at Kansas
City, Kansas. and was at one time
quite wealthy.
What financial standing have you
now?' queried his attorney during the
cross examination.
None" said Clark.
From a position of comparative af-
f1uence, bringing him $1,000 a year, to
a clerical job at $50 a month, is what
Clark asserted his prosecution at the
hands of Lester had brought him. He
asked the jury to award him $4,000
in damages. The defendant. Lester,
was not present at the hearing.
His attorney told me that they
would break me up in business and
force my wife to procure a divorce
from me- said Clark, speaking OF the
threat that Lester had made at the
beginning of the suits and counter
suits that were filed and which cu1-
minated in the jurys award of yester-
day.

Illinois, has spent most of his lifetime

FIRE WAS ACCIDENTAL
Lally Told His Attorney That He Did

refused to turn it back over to me-
secured judgment to about $4,000
in the courts
Out of the feeling in this transac-
ton and the refusal of Clark's faith
er to release a mortgage of $4,000
on the plant grew the real cause of
the suit for criminal libel that Les
ter than instituted, says Clark The
letter which formed the basis of the
allegations made by Lester in suits
which were tried out both through to
the supreme courts of two states, Mis-
souri, and Kansas, was a trade letter,
circular, which Clark sent out an
nouncing his withdrawal from the
Fredonia manufacturing enterprise
City, Kan. These circular letters Les
ter alleged were libelous and COM
menced prosecution. He was tried
first in Wyandotte county, where
preliminary hearing was had, then
later again in Wilson county, where
the court held against Lester, and
then an appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court of Kansas where the low
er courts decree was affirmed. Les
ter then changed the base of his op-
erations. 1t was stated that several
suits of similar character were in
stituted in the courts of that state,
the matter finally being reviewed in
the supreme court which held for
Clark
Clark then turned about and fought
back, bringing suit for malicious prose-
cution against Lester. : He stated that
he had been forced to pay out money
for attorneys fees and had lost con-
siderable time from his manufacturing
interests while the suits were in pro-
gress On account of the loss in mon
ey from these causes, the loss to his
business reputation and financial
standing he asked to. recover $4,000.
1t will be up to Clark to secure the
amount of his damages as Lester has
left Fredonia and sold out his interests
there.

TEXAS BUZZARDS IN DEMAND.
Few Carloads Wanted For Shipment
to the North.

10 tne NOftn.
Henry Fielding, of Bangor, Me-,
arrived in the city Saturday and is
stopping at the Bexar Hotel. His
mission in the Lone Star State is to
purchase and acquire Texas buzzards
of various ages for shipment to Maine
for scavenger purposes. He is rep
resenting a number of the boards of
trade, chambers of commerce, busi-
ness clubs, etc., of Maine cities, which
have recently awakened to the fact
that the supply of buzzards in Maine
is rapidly decreasing, which is in
furious to the rural districts in Maine.
Mr.. Fielding was instructed to Sc
lect the most strategic point as a
headquarters in a section of the
Southwest well populated with the
crimson headed creatures, and to be-
gin operations. Mr.. Fielding says it
is matter of general knowledge that
buzzards are thickest in cattle coun-
try, and inquiries by mail and other
wise proved that Southwest Texas is
well stocked with what he is seeking.
The shipments will be in carload lots
to various points of Maine. Most OF
them will probably move out of San
Antonio, coming here in less than
carload lots. However, If Mr.. Field
ing secures carload at any particu-
lar point in the Southwest the ship
ment will be made from there.
Mr.. Fielding admits that his mis-
sion is unique and seems strange in
community where buzzards are
plentiful, yet one that can be perfect
ly appreciated in community where
the stock of buzzards has been almost
wholly destroyed. He says the last
Legislature in the State of Maine
passed strict laws relating to the
slaughter of buzzards and that dur
ing the next two or three years an
effort will be made to undo the dam
age that has been done and to remedy
present conditions.
Naturally" said Mr.. Fielding,
"any one will admit that the buzzard
is very necessary bird to rural dis
tricts. He is not only destroyer of
carrion, but he is great detective
and calls the attention of many
farmer and ranch owner to the pres
ence of nearby carrion calculated to
injure health if not disposed of. We
believe that by general campaign
it will be possible to restock the State
of Maine in the course of two or three
years, and believe that the money
will be well expended. San An

Not Fitted for Farm Work.

There is great army of city work
ers who are willing and Industrious
enough but who would be of little use
on a farm, because they know prac-
tically nothing of the work. Many
of those who ask with impatience
why the men who are out of work on
account of business depression do not
go on the farms fail to consider that
scores Of them know so little about
farm work that they would be
scarcely worth hiring. The cities of
this country have been rearing a class
of workmen who are not adapted for
the farm and who know It perfectly
well. 1t is unfortunate, no doubt,
that city life units most men for
agricultural pursuits. Nevertheless
so 1t is-and that is very considera-
BILE reason why clerks and mechanics
do not rush to take the places which
the farmers offer.
