The Mergen suit came to a sudden
termination when j. J. Hess, counsel for

prejudice, rather than have the court di-
rect the jury to return a verdict for the
defendant. Mrs. Mergen sued to recover
5000 insurance on the life of her hus-
band, John Mergen, who was drowned
while hunting at Lake Manawa. The
Ancient Order Of United Workmen resisted
the claim On the ground that Mergen was
engaged in the saloon business. The rules
Of the order provide that no person en-
gagged in the sale of liquor can be a menu

ing that Mergen had been engaged in the
saloon business after becoming a member
Of the order and taking out the insurance

M'INTYRE BACK TO FACE CHARGE

Mining stock Salesman VIII Face
Case Preferred at Nicola.
Deputy Sheriff Waddington arrived yes
terday morning from Sacramento. Cal, with
M. M. Mcintyre of hat place, who is
charged with cheating by false pretenses
In connection with the sale OF mining stock
to Thomas McDermott and other citizens
Of Nicola. Ia.
Mcintyre was tried on a similar charge
in Sacramento just before Deputy waddlng-
ton reached there but was acquitted, the
jury bringing in its verdict after a few
minutes elaboration. Mcintyre, however,
was in jail for several months before his
trial. having been arrested in Chicago last
July and taken back to California.
Thu information against Mcintyre was
filed in the court of Justice j. X. Cooper
by McDermott, one of several persons in
Nicola and vicinity, who bought stock in
the Sylvester Gravel Mining company. 1t
is alleged by McDermott that Mcintyre sold
the stock at 60 cents on the dollar whereas,
1t is alleged, he was only authorized to
dispose of it at 10 cents on the dollar.
Deputy Washington was told in Sacra-
mento the Sylvester Gravel Mining COM
pany was considered there to be a promising
proposition. Mcintyre claims to own a
NoiNAOAihB ihlSitSN III TIE property anu lOlu
Deputy Waddington that he expects the
mine to make his fortune. He denied max
ing any false representation to the pur-
chasers OF stock in Nicola and claims It is
worth more than the Nicola men paid for
1t. Mcintyre is said to have represented
at Nicola that he was a member Of the
Knights of Columbus and thereby made the
acquaintance Of many members of the
order in that town and vicinity. Most of
the stock ip his mining proposition is said
to have been sold to members OF that
organization.
Mcintyre was placed in the county Jail
and will probably be ~arraigned before
Justice Cooper some time today. He is a
married man but his wife remained in
