BUCKLEY GOES
ON WARPATH

Some weeks ago Edmond Burke OF
San Francisco, brought suit against
Christopher Buckley of the Burling
anne Typewriter Telegraph Company
charging that Mr.. Buckley was SELL
ing stock IN mechanical invention
which would not perform the work
alleged in the prospectus issued by
the company.
When Mr.. Buckley first went behind
this invention with his money the
stock was in slight demand at fifty
cents a share and is now selling al
six dollars.
There could be but one of two OBJ
jectS in ringing the suit. 1t was
either to break the stock or black
mail the company. If Mr.. Burke had
lived long on this coast he would
never have started a law suit with
buckley unless he intended to go
the route. Had the man any legal
claim against Buckley it would have
been settled out of court in hve min
utes. Had he no legal claim he new
er could secure settlement in Buck
ley's 4.-e time and if buckley could
save ten thousand dollars OF litiga
ton by payment OF ten dollars
on an unjust claim he would not pay
1t.
when Burke got into court he dis
covered wha, he was up against and
weakened. His case proved to be
based upon nothing and he admitted
that he had no real ground for bring
ing 1t. 1t was promptly pitched on,
of court as it deserved to be.
Burke might have supposed that he
would be able to break the stock but
the stockholders, who have mostly
bought because they know Buckley
is behind the invention, never lost
their confidence and Burke effort
was a tiascO.
Burke, having quit in open court
supposed that he was through with
the matter but Buckley determined
to make an example of the man and
show the public who he is. He
claimed to be an attorney at law,
but Buckley showed that he was noj
and had no license to practice law
in California or elsewhere. He was
when he was not, and will have to
suffer the penalty for his fOOlishness
while his spectacular record is being
prObed. But Buckley is still on the
warpath and says that this week he
will press charges Of perjury against
Burke. What he will do after this
is a matter of conjecture but The APP
peal can assure Burke mat he viii.
know he has been in fight before
the Blind Boss gets through with
him.
Most men in SAN Francisco spoil
ing for trouble would pass Carts
Buckley up and take something cas-
ier. Chris is one of those men who
never hunts trouble and never avoids
it. AS far as the invention is con-
cerned the writer OF this can state
that he has not only seen the mach
inc in operation scores OF times. but
has run it himself
You simply sit down at what seems
common, ordinary typewriter and
print anything you please on it. The
electric impulses go hunuredS OF
miles over single wire and type
writer at the other end of the wire
prints the dispatch automatically in
plain letters. The message is an ex-
ac duplicate of the one sent. as per-
feet as a carbon copy. Anyone .whC
can manipulate a typewriter can
handle dispatches and the receiving
| machine requires no operator but
rolls out he messages while you
sleep. Arrangements are now in
! progress to bring these machines in
! to Nevada and when tney are in
practical use man in Carson can
| send a letter over the wire to man
| in Reno and it will be absolutely Sc
| cret for it cannot be taken off the
wire in transmission as an ordinary
telegraph dispatch can.
| This invention is destined to come
