BIG LIBEL SUIT
GROWS OUT Of
WARNING LETTERS
Fruit Machinery Co., Charged
With Patent Infringement,
Wants Damages.

One of the most important cases to
be tried in the United States Circuit
Court at Trenton this term will be
started Wednesday when the libel suit
of the American Fruit Machinery COM
pany, of Philadelphia, against the I'M
perial Machine Company, of Elm
street, this city, for $500, 900, is called.
Sommer, Colby &c Whiting appear for
the local company.
Serious charges are involved in the
suit, namely, an allegation by the I'm
perial Company that the American
Company has infringed on their pat
ents for a machine for the pairing OF
fruit and vegetables. 1t is said to be
a really wonderful co~ntrivance and the
most successful of its kind in existence.
Contracts have been made with the
Russian. British and United States
governments for it's use in their armies
and navies.
The Imperial Company claims that a
short time after their patents a been
granted and published the American
Company purchased one of the ma
chimes from them and then made ap-
plication for similar patents. Through
the Enterprise Manufacturing Com
pany, of Philadelphia, it began to make
the machines along the same lines and
push them out in the markets, con
tracing and attempting to make sales
where the Imperial agents we're work.
ing.
Two suits were also brought in the
United States Circuit Court for the
eastern district of Pennsylvania by the.
local company for the infringement
of their patents by the American Com
pany, and these suits are now pending
decision.
When competition began to grow into
serious proportions the local company
sent out warning letters to the trade,
reciting the fact that the American
Company had i%nfringed their machine.
and asking that they not participate
in the stealing of another mans pat
|ents. Also, that infringement suits had
been started, and warning prospective
purchasers not to buy or use them.
These circulars are complained of in
the present suit as libelous.
The declaration of the American
Company in the trenton suit states
that libelous matter is also contained
in a number of letters that were sent
to prospective purchasers, namely. that
criminal charges had been preferred
against the president of the American
Company. A denial is made of this
charge.
1t is said that the details of the vari-
GUS alleged infringements to be brought
out during the trial will be of a very
interesting nature.

Bishop SChWebach Under Knife.

Bishop James Schwebach, who
went to st. Francis hospital in La
Crosse few days ago, submitted to
an operation for enlarged prostrate and
stone in the bladder and while the
operation is considered serious one,
the attending physicians say that the
patient went through it successfully
and the prelate is resting easily. 1t
was not generally known when the
bishop went to the hospital that he
was to submit to serious operation,
because he has been about and appear
ed to be in his usual good health. The
doctors, however, announce that the
bishop has not been in the best of
health for some time and that for sew
eral years he had complained. He at
tended to his duties, however, and on
ly those closest TO him were aware of
his condition. From all indications it
is believed that the operation will be
uccessfuI.--Sparta Democrat.
