LUMBER COMPANY INVOLVED
IN LITIGATION.
RETIRED MEMBER SUES
FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
Parties Had Signed and Published No.
tee Of Amieable Adjustment, But
Fight Appears to Be But Fairly Be-
sun-Two Suits For $4,000 Each
Arc Filed.

Rockwell City, Oct. "a little notice
signed by A. j. Scott F.. A. Miller and
o. L. Hedlund would indicate to the
casual reader that the long existing
difficulties between these gentlemen
had been amicably settled, but the de-
velopments of the past week do not
justify such conclusion.
Some months ago the gentlemen
mentioned composed the membership
of the A. j. Scott Lumber Company,
the first two furnishing the capital to
conduct the business and the latter
putting his time against the same and
having charge of the business. When
Mr.. Hedlund decided to retire from the
firm hard feelings developed as re-
suit of an attempt at a settlement and
the affairs of the company were
placed in the hands Of A. j. Hunter as
receiver.
Last week the matter came before
the district court for final adjustment
and it was supposed it would require
a long, tedious hearing but thru the
efforts of the attorneys employed the
parties got together and agreed upon
settlement, resulting in the order of
the publication of a notice of final
settlement and dissolution of partner
ship.
However, 1t appears that the real
trouble between the parties has only
just begun, as Immediately upon the
signing of the notice Mr.. Hedlund
caused to be served upon Messrs.
Scott and Miller notice of the bringing
against each of them of a suit for
damages for SANDER in the sum of
$4,000, the notice stating that the pc
tition of plaintiff in the matter will be
on file with the clerk of the district
court on or before Nov /.
The trial Of the case promises some
interesting developments and will
doubtless result in hard fight in the
courts.

and Campaign For Glove Schedules.

srecial to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 9.-There are con-
flicting opinions as to the value of the
Cannon visit to Iowa to the standpat
cause. There is no doubt that the
'patters counted upon the speech as
big card in their program but some of
them are showing indications Of dis
appointment. They blame Congress
man Parsons for their discontinue and
say that it is extremely unfortunate
that the exposure of the Tammany deal
should have come just at this time
when Cannon was being featured as
the model and ideal party man. Incl
dentally it has been brought out, as
the result of the Cannon visit, that not
only was the Tammany deal made just
as the disclosures in New York indi-
cate, but that Cannon was personally
cognizant of the same and personally
interested himself in having the goods
delivered as promised.
The essence of the whole disclosure
rests upon the fact that the protected
interests planned a gigantic graft in
and thru the glove schedule of AL
drich bill. Ex-Congressman Littauer,
the glove magnate, had the deal in
charge and was active in getting the
forces together to elect Cannon. AT
| the critical time when it was seen that
Cannon could not be elected without
the aid of democrats he turned the
trick with Tammany by which certain
reform bills were defeated in New York
and then the Fitzgerald contingent an
nounced that a handful Of democrats
would vote for Cannon. After that,
and because this Tammany support
| made his election certain, a number of
republicans who would otherwise have
voted against Cannon were forced into
limo and voted for him.
! Then came the pay for the deal. Lit
tauer got, thru the grace Of Cannon
the graft schedules he wanted; the
senate struck them out; it was up to
Taft ITO permit the Cannon Littamer-
the glove combine, or to knock out the
protection which was not needed. Taft
demanded the lower glove schedule
Right there %Old joe got into THE

And Taft and Cannon failed to agree
The fact that Cannon went personal

fact leaked out recently in Iowa and il
