der the pretext Of %refunding an old
indebtedness, when, as a matter OF
fact. only $4,000 worth OF the pro-
ceeds from the bonds sold were used
for such purpose, and the balance OF
$4,000 worth were gratuitously turn
ed over to William T. Coad to aid in
the construction Of the Dakota & WyO-
ming (Crouch Line) railway.

paying either the principle or interest
on said bonds. and for the further rea-
son that the bonds were illegally is
