RESTRAINS TRUSTEES
FROM DIVIDING STOCK
Litigation Over the Lux Estate
Takes a New Turn

The litigation over the Lux estate
took new and abrupt turn yesterday
when Jesse Sheldon Lux Potter, So
of Mrs. Melissa Potter, obtained a TEN
porary injunction in Judge SeaweIP
court restraining the trustees in dis
solution and the stock holders from
dividing the stock of the Nevada cor.
poration.
The annual meeting of the stocL
holders was to have been held at 9
o'clock yesterday afternoon, but at
o'clock yesterday morning ATTORNEY
Joseph Slye. representing Potter, OBJ
tanned the Injunction. The case will
come up for hearing next Monday.
The claim of the plaintiff is tha
the California corporation was formed
for the main purpose of facilitating
the division of the estate according to
the will, and that when 1t passed out
of existince through the neglect of
the managers to pay the state license
fee the estate reverted back to its
original condition before the corpora
ton was formed. The attempt, he
claims. on the part of Henry Miller and
the other stock holders to make the
division of the stock of the Nevada
corporation is nothing but an effort to
get away from the laws of the state
of California governing corporations to
the less stringent ones of Nevada.
On account of the injunction the
annual meeting had to be postponed
Indefinitely, and probably will not be
called until Judge SeawelI has given a
decision on the final hearing.

BUYS STOCK AT MIDNIGHT:
SUES FOR MONEY BACK
John Tidemann Rushes Into
Deal and Now Would Get Out

Reused from his bed on the night of
October 80. 1908, John Tidemann was
given a glowing description of the
prospects of the Union state bank and
persuaded to invest in 40 shares at $50
a share. He filed suit yesterday against
c. T. Hasshagen and w. c. Hayes, vice
president and cashier of the bank,
whose eloquence was responsible for
his regretted purchase, claiming the
return of the $4,000.
Tidemann says he was deceived and
defrauded. Hasshagen and Hayes first
told him they called upon him on a
matter Of great Importance, then Of
fered him 40 shares at $50 each. Tide
mann says the stock is worthless and
that the bank has never paid any divi-
dends.

sued for the return of $4,000 he paid
in November, 1908. for 20 shares in the
Bank of Elmhurst. It was the inten-
tion of the bank to engage in busi-
ness at the time he bought the stock,
but Tidemann alleges it has either
abandoned that intention or indefinitely
postponed the opening.

in this country has a pride of caste and
nationality which makes the rest of us
seem unpatriotic. Looking out of the

RETURN HOMESICK

breaks away from the beaten trails of
the United States and sails southwark
with a trunk Of samples, great ambi-
tion and no knowledge of the country.
A visit TO one leading city of this terra
incognita makes him homesick for the
smoking compartment of Pullman, the
water cooler and the click of the metal
room key on the hotel desk.
This is the limit! he says. There
isn't enough business in the whole na-
tion to keep one town of 25.000 in
habitants at home going" And he re-
turns, minus orders and plus much wis
dom. The foreign drummer, knowing
the language, is careful 1nd calculating.
No order is too small for him. His firm
is ready to pack goods to suit the Gus
toner, and so that they will stand
wagon or mule transportation.

Spanish as a mothers son and repre-
sented famous arms firm. AS every
