.DETRO|TERS SUE
In FEDERAL COURT
Backuses Claim $4,000 Stock in
sealshipt Oyster System and De-
mand Accounting.

Suit TO compel the Sealshipt Oys-
ter system and George l.. Brooks and
Lewis c. Brooks, officials in the COM
pany, TO issue 10 the plaintiffs stock
valued at $4,000 and to obtain an
accounting and payment OF accrued
dividends, amounting To $4,000. has
been filed in the federal court of Con-
nectieut by Attorney Albert McClat-
chey, representing Newton ID. and
Henry n. Backus and A. Backus Jr. *
Sons.
The compliments allege that in 1908
they purchased $4,000 shares in the
American Oyster Carrier Co. incor-
porated under the laws OF New Mexi-
CO by George l.. and Lewis c. Brooks
and Henry w. Bloom. II is alleged
that later George l.. and Lewis T..
Brooks wanted 10 purchase the shares
held by the local men for a nominal
sum, but when they refused 10 dispose
OF their stock, the Brooks organized
the National Oyster Carrier Co. and
consolidated IL with the other COM
pany, transferring all stock in the old
comapny to the new, except that held
by tho plaintiffs. The plaintiffs allege
that the newly organized company
proved d success. Later George l.. and
Lewis c. Brooks organized the Seal
shipt System under the laws OF New
York and consolidated the National
Oyster Carrier Co. with II. When the
last transfer was made, the stock
holders of the National company were
offered one share in the Sealshipt
System for three OF the National COM
pany shares. The headquarters OF
the present company are now IN New
Norwalk. Conn.
The plaintiffs also ask for an &C
counting for $4,000 carriers manufac-
tured for the American Oyster Car
rier Co. under patents held by A.
Backus Jr. e. Sons.
According TO the compliments, Geo.
l.. and Lewis c. Brooks organized the
new companies for the express pur
pose of getting rid OF your orators
and depriving them OF their interest
In the oyster carrier business"
The complaint also alleges that az
ter the National company was organ
led, that the Brooks pretended that
the American company was still In
existence and doing business and that
they from time TO time signed the
name of the old company TO communi-
cations sent TO A. ,Backus Jr. q Sons
among them being statements OF the
conditions OF the company. II Is also
alleged by the complaintants that
from time TO time, the defendants In
the name OF the American company
would order a small supply OF oyster
carriers from the local company In
order to make the plaintiff think that
the company was still in existence.
The plaintiffs are. well-known local
men. Lewis c. Brooks, who Is named
as one of the defendants Is also we'll
known here, as he was here two years
in the interest of his company. He
had offices In the Shelby block.

the attentions Of other men. He seiz-
ed her by the, wrist and started 20

away from him and then he seized
her by the waist and dragged her
back to her home.
Following this incident, the girl
broke or the engagement and said
she could never marry a man who
had such a jealous disposition.
Brooks announced he was going
away. He asked the girls father FOR
permission TO have final interview
with Jessie and the interview was
granted.
He came Thursday morning. He
found the girl in the kitchen of the
house and he carefully locked the
door. Then he drew from his pocket

GRAY HAIR MAKES
YOU LOOK OLD
a Simple Remedy Brings Back
the Natural Color-Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

How often one hears the ex-
preston, "She Is gray and is begin
ming to look DID," It is true that
gray hair usually denotes age and is
always associated with age. You
never hear one referred to as having
gray hair and looking young.
The hair is generally the index Of
age. If your hair is gray, you can't
blame your friends for referring to
you as looking old. You can't retain
a youthful appearance If you allow
your hair to grow gray. Many per-
sons OF middle age jeopardize their
future simply by allowing the gray
hairs to become manifest. There is
no necessity for this. If your hair
has become faded or gray, try Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, the
preparation which chemist by the
name Of Wyeth devised a few years
ago. It is simple, inexpensive and
practical, and will Danish the gray
hairs In a few days. 1t is also guar
anteed to remove dandruff and pro-
mote the growth of the hair.
It Is a pleasant dressing for the
hair, and after using it few days
itching and dryness Of the scalp en-
tirely disappear.
This preparation Is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle and Is
recommended and sold by
Special agent, Mcbride & Will Drug
Company. East Main street

west have written to the Commercial
Club officials In an attempt to secure
the details OF the Industrial Develop
ment plan to be used here. and none
Of them has ~ yet drawn up Its articles
OF agreement.
The success Of the campaign this
week win mean. according to President
Parker, that Sioux City will assume a
stride in industrial development much
greater than anything she has yet at
tanned. Factory sites will be available
which are as cheap as any other; ex-
emption from local taxation will be
granted infant industries, financial
assistance Of the strongest kind, VIII
be granted worthy institutions. and
the concerns locating in Sioux City
will have the assurance that every
subscriber to the guaranty fund will be
on the same plane as a stakeholder.
Subscriptions Come Fast.
BY noon the big guaranty fund OF
the Commercial Club for bringing new
industries to Sioux City had reached
the thrilling total Of 100000. and the
plan therefore became operative under
the original agreement.
The committees are now making the
argument that the greater the total
lund the Smaller tTe lIlulNluudl la
bility. so every man who has signed
the lists is booster for a bigger fund
1t is predicted that by o'clock when
the chairmen OF the eleven soliciting
committees will report at the Com
mercial Club, there will be grand
total of about 100000.
Most Of the work thus far has been
for smaller subscriptions, as the COM
mittees have felt sure OF the big ones.
When the big amounts are asked for,
the totals will begin to expand at a
surprising rate 1t is declared at least
ten more men will sign for $4,000 each.
Already about a dozen have signed for
that amount.
Sioux City is the first city in the
west to adopt this new credit scheme
for loaning money to new industries
and her citizens are determined TO put
the scheme into operation at once and
land a lot Of new enterprises before
any other western city can organize
under the same plan. Already the Com
mercial club is dickering with two
promising factories
