able lawyers, the very fact that bids
were not advertised for invalldates the
lease. This lease is worth from
$4,000 to 100000 year to the city,
as 1t ID the very best dock property on
the whole chain Of lakes. Several people
would gladly bid $4,000 for It II they
were given chance. This sort Of
business Ia played out with the public

HENRY WEBER In TROUBLE
OVER WONDER PROMOTIONS

put up certain real estate to cover
same as related above. The investiga-
tion of the books of the Wonder Vulture
is not yet completed.
Henry Weber, who is president of the
Atlanta Mining company, and mans'ot
affairs in the community, is confident
that he and his brother will be able
to clear their skirts and come out of
the investigation with flying colors. He
alleges in a public statement that the
bad aspect Of affairs in the finances of
these companies is due to the incapacity
of their bookkeeper, the young man
who prefers the charges against them.
Although he is supposed to be man
of large means, owning considerable
real estate, enormous mining interests
and practically the whole of the Gold
field Tribune, he has ignored all de-
mands to settle and proposes, from his
attitude to fight it out.
Mr.. Pattberg resents the disparaging
reflections of the Weber brothers, that
he was "only bookkeeper He says
that he is a director in various Wonder.
companies promoted by the Webers, and
that he was so made, because he repre-
sented large interests in New Jersey;
that in the Wonder Doctor company
alone, he represents 225,000 shares, and
that his father and eoterie of his
New Jersey friends had invested as
much as $l50,000 in Weber's various
Wonder companies, now being subjected
to investigation, and that he swore to-
the complaint against the Webers, as a.
director.
The Webers contend that the money.
paid for stock by Begole and Hooper,,
was for personal stock and not for treas.
ury stock, and that he was entitled tos
the proceeds of the sale; whereas, Hoop-i
er and Begole have said that it was
| treasury stock and that the checks that;
were paid for the stock, showing them
to be made out in the name of the.
treasurer of the company and by him;
endorsed as treasurer. 1t is charged
that thousands of shares Of other COM
panies were sold on the representation
that they were treasury shares, but that
personal stock was substituted and the
companies treasures. never received a
cent of benefit, the amount of so-called
| treasury stock in the Doctor alone
amounting to $4,000.
