Eastern Dynamite company, the new
companies to be given the right to as
sumo the charters of the old company
at their option; otherwise, the old
companies to be dissolved and new
charters issued to the companies to
be formed.
Provision also is made to transfer
to the new companies for three years
a fair proportion of the business in
explosives throughout the United
States, and for these companies to
have free access to the records in the
trade bureau, and all other facilities
now enjoyed by the Dupont company,
to familarize themselves with trade

Vote for Ben E. Robertson Of Turner

To the Voters and Taxpayers of Marion County:
At the coming election in November I will be an Independent candidate
for the office of County Commissionerand in asking your support l base my
claims on the following reasons:
I am free, directly and indirectly from any ring influence whatever; 1
am affiliated with no faction or clQuei in any manner; am absolutely under
no obligation to follow the dictates of others.
Therefore, l am at liberty to give, at all times and to the best Of my
ability, unparalleled and impartial attention to the affairs of the county.
l promise to devote my energies to giving the taxpayers a strict business
like, economical, clean-cut administration, to the end that may assist, as
far as possible, in bringing about a reduction of taxes.
For the past 16 years the south and east part of the county has been
entirely without representation in the administrative affairs, and 1t is in
response to the urgent requests Of the voters Of that extensive district that
have decided to become a candidate.
However, in appearing as the candidate from this much-negected locali-
t, it will also be my constant aim to work for the best interests of the
county as a whole. Yours for economy and efficiency

that Young had used the words, "white

a discussion which grew in volume and

HORN[R
SUIT IS BEGUN
This Time Robert Horner Is Made
DeIendant-Not a Counter
Charge, II Is Said.
(Mall sp'ciai to The Advertlsor.)

(Mail Special to The Advertis0f.)
HILO, December 2o.--Another chap
ter Of the Hornor war was begun las8
Friday with tho Hilo circuit court a.
the scene Of battle. 1t takes the form
Of bill by tho Kukaiau Plantation
Company against Robert Homer for the
purpose of making tho latter account
for his management Of tho Kukaiau
Ranch.
"This suit is not brought in the way
of counter charge" said Attorney
Carlsmith, attorney for plaintiff Gas
matter Of fact the taking Of this
step had been in contemplation for =
long time past.
The bill shows that the orator has
for years past expended large sums on
the maintenance and lettering of the
Kukaiau Ranch by buying lands in fec
and leasing them, by cultivating the
land in order to make it support as
great a number of cattle as possible,
but that it has of late years been I'M
able to obtain more grazing land in tho
vicinity, and has therefore been unable
to increase the ranch's earnings.
1t is shown that in January, 1896,
the orator employed Robert Homer as
manager of the ranch, with the under
standing that he should give it his en-
tire time and attention, that he should
run the business to the best possible
! advantage and that he should give o
strict accounting of all money and prop
erty received by him as such manager
1t is complained that Robert Horner,
in violation of the terms of his employ
ment, has taken advantage of knowl-
| edge gained as manager and has been
buying and selling horses and cattle on
his own account, which stock he has
kept on the ranch lands, using ranch
| equipment and the services of the
ranch's servants in looking after such
| stock. These, acts, says the complain
ant, were committed in disregard of his
express wishes and direction and have
occasioned heavy loss to the Kukaiau
| Plantation Company, although it is ig-
norant as to the exact amount. The
defendant has, it is stated, retained all
the profits he has made in the purchase,
| grazing and sale of such horses and
cattle, and has refused to furnish the
plaintiff with an account thereof, al
though often requested so to do.
The orator charges that all these acts
are contrary to equity, and that he is
entitled to all the profit received from
the sale of the animals mentioned dur
ing the term of Robert Horner's en-
ployment, and from the natural increase
of such stock. The orator asks that
the defendant be summoned to appear
before the court to answer all the ale
cations of the bill, though answer nm
der oath is expressly waived, and that
he be compelled to give full account
for all the horses and cattle which he
has purchased during his term as man.
lager of the ranch and the other In
! formation in regard to these animals,
that he be decreed to hold AL the mon.
ey realized by these transactions, after
deducting the cost price, in trust, and
that he besdecreed to hold all the ami
mails which have come into his posses
sion while he has been manager, as well
as their natural increase, in trust for
tho orator.
