Mason City, Sept. 9.-The Weir
Wardrobe Company and dozen prom
inent citizens of this city are named
as defendants in a sensational suit
filed here by j. A. McMahon, a North
western engineer Mcmahon alleges
that the defendant company is not a
corporation duly organized and exist
ing under the laws of the state of
Iowa but that 1t merely pretends to be
such, that it was Illegally organized
and that fraud has been practiced by
the pretended corporation.
Mcmahon was once the president
and chief stakeholder in a local COM
pany known as the Davey Manufacture
ing Company. This was absorbed by
the Weir Wardrobe Company and
when its holdings, including the factory
site, were turned over to the new con-
Germ, 1T was with the understanding
that Mcmahon was to receive $1,000
Tor the stock of the old company which
ne represented and that the indebted
ness of the old company, which
amounted to $4,000, was to be paid by
the new company. These things, Nc
Mahon alleges. have never been done
A deed to the factory site was placed
IN escrow until such time as the above
mentioned conditions should he full
filled. Mcmahon alleges that they Sc
cured the deed from r. M. witwer
who held it lin escrow, by some means
unknown to him.
A sensation is sure to result in the
