SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, March 13.
An action was filed in the superior
court here today by Henry G. Dent and
N. A. Ransome against the Fontana
Development company of this city and
the Merchants, Trust company of Los
Angeles, attacking the validity of the
mortgage sale of about 1000 acres of
land in the Rialto colony.
They allege that if the sale had been
properly conducted that fully $4,000
could have been realized, whereas, but
a little over. $4,000 was secured.
They bring the suit as stockholders
of the California Fruit Growers asso-
citation, and it indicates that still fur
ther efforts will be made by the vic
tins of the late Ollie j. Watkins to
save something for themselves from
the wreck that was left after the ex-
posure of his methods.
They set forth that the officers of
the California Fruit Frowers' asso-
citation have long since ceased to take
any interest in the welfare of the Or
ganization.
The lands were sold on a mortgage
held by the Fontana Development
company, who originally sold the lands
to the agent of Watkins, only small
payment ever being made, and this
property was used in the operations
of Watkins. The Merchants Trust
company became trustee for the Fon-
tana company and the mortgage was
foreclosed in their name. The prin-
cipal objection made to the sale was
that refusal was made to parcel the
land out in small pieces.
