ATTEMPT STEAL
OF ELY TRUST co.
SUCH Is SENSATIONAL ALLEGA-
TION IN SUIT FILED YESTER-
DAY-STRAUBS AND RICHTER
CALLED UPON TO ANSWER.

Alleging fraud in attempt to col
lect two notes binding mortgage.
the Ely Trust Co. yesterday filed suit
against Frank and f. G. Straub and
Paul +. Richter for cancellation of
the claims.
1t is alleged that on December 80,
1907, with the object of selling the
control of the company, which they
held. although there were other
stockholders, the Straubs and Rich
ter, who were then in active manage
ment of the company. made two notes
from tn company to Frank Straub,
one for $4,000, maturing October 1,
1908, and bearing interest at the
rate of 6 per cent from March l, the
other for a like amount, bearing in
terest from the same date but due
upon the 1st day of December this
year. A mortgage Was also made to
Frank Straub on lot 4 of block P In
Ely to secure payment of the notes.
The mortgage and notes We're
made by the Straubs and Richter as
agents of the company to themselves,
without the company receiving dol
lar of consideration, plaintiff states,
and the fraud thus perpetrated would
result in wiping out the assets of the
company and the entire interest of
the defendants in the company.
Under the terms of the mortgage
an interest payment has fallen due
and Frank Straub is threatening TO
declare the entire amount of indebt-
edness due and payable under the
mortgage and to take action for fore
closure.
The plaintiff asks that decree be
entered annulling and cancelling the
notes and mortgage. giving them
such general relief as may seem best,
and placing the costs upon the de-
fendants

passage Of the ordinance carrying the
issue.
The bonds. which will cover eX-
penditures for municipal improve
ments. including the new city build
ing and sewer system, were to have
been passed upon by the council at
its meeting Tuesday night. but the
question of sales agent being
brought up it was decided TO lay the
matter over for time.
1t is the belief of City Attorney
Walker that he can successfully han
die the issue and place it with re-
sponsible buyers and 1t is probable
that the matter will be left to him.
This course would save the city a
percentage which would have to go TO
the selling agent. probably as much
as per cent of the total received.

REPUBLICANS

Hold Good Meet
ing--PLdnS HctiO=
tiOities. Big Rally
Soon at Jmeiter

A rousing meeting of the Ely City
Taft club. marked by much enthus-
iasm, was held last evening in the
Gunn-Thompson building. Among
results at meetings hereafter will be
talks on the subject, why | am
Republican A glee club will also
be formed. The principal matter OF
interest last night, however. was the
appointment of committees which
will push the activities and growth
of the club.
The meeting was called to order
by President H. NJ. Fulmer with
large number of Republicans present
in spite of the storm which prevailed
during the early part of the night.
After a few talks and suggestions
had been made, the following COM
mittees were named:
Executive-Arthur Smith. A. h.
Hartman and r. w. Schenek.
Finance-Franeis Klein. Frank
Comisky and John Malta.
Campaign-A. E. Miller. c. S.
Grain and Richard Richards.
Statisties-Messrs. Haight. Mes
singer and Billings.
Election-Hoag Hildebrand and
Roper
Observation-Disclosures. Frank
and Vatican.
These committees are expected to
get busy at once.
Secretary G. A. McElroy made a
short speech Ia which he called at
tention to the fact that preparation of
statistics from this precinct is of ex-
treme Importance to the county CEN
trail committee. as well as the state
central committee, for campaign pur-
poses. The committee on statistics
will work in harmony, following his
suggestion, with the county club in
aiding them in their work.
Mr.. Mcconnell suggested that it
would be we'll in promoting interest
in Repubicanfsm TO have at each
meeting a series of short talks upon
the personal ground on which each
man is Republican. The first talks
on this subject will be heard next
Thursday night. when Roy w.
Schenck. of Hamilton. and Mr.. Mes
singer, of Ely City. are slated for
short talks.
A number of suggestions as to
reading matter to be looked over by
each member of the club were made
by members. Chairman Fulmer sug-
gested that glee club be organized

the matter was left in the hands of
Mr. Owen.
Mr. Ives suggested that the Ely
City club go to Semlter with the Ely
club TO aid in big Republican rally

few weeks. This was unanimously
agreed to and Secretary McElroy in
strueted TO ascertain the time OF the

That there will be war and more
war when the Democrats get together
in their convention on next Wednes-
day is assured, for although routed
in their fight at the primaries 1t does
not appear that the insurgents have
given up their battle. The Coleman
Jurich faction will be there with
flags flying, bugles blowing and pre-
pared to fight on every point all the
way through. This comes straight
In the primaries, which figured so
prominently as machine grab, Ii
does not appear that the machine
leaders were so successful as the gem
eral public has been led to believe.
1t seems from the talk in the Demo-
cratic ranks that it was more of
combination between the Coleman
Zurich and the Machine -McFadden ele-
ment for the purpose of putting away
forever in neat little grave the as
pirations of the third or Neill-Put-
nam clique. The latter was buried
deep, as everyone of the delegates
elected are claimed either by the ma
chine or by the Coleman-Jurich fac
tion. wherefore it is time for the
erstwhile friends to turn and rend
each other.
Neat little political knives are be-
ing sharpened by either side, little
whetstones of argument are being
spat upon and stealthy rasping of
blades can be heard floating about
the air as the rumors calculated to
hurt one or the other faction in the
party ranks are put in motion. Ru-
mors of all characters are getting
about and everything is framing for
the bitterest convention fight that
the county has witnessed in years
Although in the minority. the Zurich
bunch of serappers are fighters from
the word go and that they will use
every endeavor TO best their oppo-
nents is not To be doubted.
The latest claim is that the ma
chine in its efforts to get the best
of the Putnam faction mas lined up
the field wrong and instead of hav--
ing the entire Ely and likewise the
entire county delegation behind them,
the insurgents have secured a good
many of their trusted henchmen.
Whether this Is true or no, all that
is left TO do is to sit back. await de-
velopments, and watch the fun.
