DICKINSON WILL
CHARGE COLLISION
Given Permission BY Court To File
Amendment Answer in Suit Begun
By Rothschild Estate.

Shortly after the suit OF the Roths
child estate against Don NJ. Dickinson
opened In Judge Mandelps court, II
was indefinitely postponed by the
judge granting the petition Of the de-
PENDANT for permission to file an
amended answer, in the nature OF a
cross-bill. In this crossbill the de-
PENDANT will charge collision between
the Rothschilds and the Bird Mining
Co.. lessees OF the mining property
over which Mr.. Dickinson Is trustee,
a position from which the plaintiff
seeks to have him removed.
This charge OF collision between
the parties Is new, and because OF its
serious nature Judge Mandell allowed
the plaintiffs time In which to plead,
answer or demur.
Attorney Lightner. who represents
the Rothschild estate, argued strenu-
ously against allowing the defendants
to file an amended bill, and made the
charge that the defendants were only
playing for delay.

ANHUT MADE $4,000 BY
SALE OF MOTOR CAR STOCK


per cent interest. This will give the
company a good chance to get on Its
feet again, for II will be able to make
cars and sell them during the time OF
the extension. This scheme will be
better for the creditors, for II the con-
Germ we're to 60 into bankruptcy now
there would be very little for the
creditors.
I'm regard to Mr.. Anhut's transac-
tinna. 1 don't know that he has done
anything of a criminal nature. 1t Is
true, however. that the stock was dis
posed of in q manner somewhat out
Of the ordinary, but there may have
been nothing illegal about it. The
stock was sold by the firm Of Miner,
Anhut & Chaddock on contract
which the promoters, three men
named Ahearn, Lonsby and Thorpe,
made with them. The promoters al
lowed the law firm to sell the stock,
the par value of which was $40, for
what they could get, stipulating, how
ever, that IS was to be paid into the
company for each share sold. The
directors OF the company afterward
approved the contract. Now 1t Is just
= question whether the promoters had
the right to make such contract
with the law firm. Thus far no action
has been taken against Anhut, but
there IL no telling what may be done. +"
William Walker. the caterer, now
president of the Anhut Motor Car Co.,
says that Anhut Is thought to have
made upwards of $4,000 on his sale OF
the stock He also says that two
brokers got $1,000 in commissions on
their sale of stock, one getting $1.100
and the other $500. In some in
stances Anhut sold shares at $40, thus
making IS on each, Mr.. Walker added.
Anhut was president of the company
for some time, but was deposed after
the financial difficulty arose. While
at the head of the concern he drew a
salary Of $4,000 q year.

the smoking car. They were residen,.
OF Petaluma, Santa Rosa and othsr
nearby towns. Several, II 10 reportsd
were delegates to the state conven.
ton of Red Men. which meets At
Santa Rosa today.
The wreck occurred at a sharu
curve. The passenger train was trnv.
cling 40 miles an hour and the locomo-
tive and caboose were also going AZ
sood speed. At the ONCE OF the train
dispatcher It was said that one OF the
conductors had made a mistake IN his
orders and failed to take a siding.
Just before the collision the passen-
gers were Jerked forward by the set.
ting OF brakes. Then there came a
terrific impast and the sound of escap-
inr steam. The two engines crashed
into each other. When the dared mas
sengers made their way out Of the rear
coaches unframed they heard the
shrieks and groans OF the injured.
The 80 passengers In the smoking
car were caught among broken seats
and splintered timbers, and those who
we're not killed were unable to help
themselves. A few men made their
way to the forward end OF the smok-
ing car. where the greatest damage
had been done. Efforts to open win
dows or remove the broken timbers
we're fruitless.
Work on the rear half Of the smoker
was easier. Some OF the rescuers scat
tered to nearby houses to telephone
for help. while others sought to get
the injured out OF the wreck.
A headless corpse was found lying
by the side Of the track. Another body
was found in sitting position in q
window Of the smoker.
