Bull MOOSerS Meet.

About $50 people gathered at Turner
opera house Monday evening to listen to
Judge Bope talk in behalf of Col. Roosev
velt and advocate his election to the
presidency. The speaker was introduced
by Rev. J. Fl. Schoechert. Judge Bope
spoke interestingly and eloqnently of
the colonel, as did also Rev. SchOechert,
who had met Mr.. Roosevelt in far away
Alaska. The speaker of the evening
lauded the ex-president and did not for
get organized labor. There is not much
Bull Moose sentiment in Watertawn, the
voters appreciating the fact that the
contest is between Taft and Wilson and
that vote for Roosevelt will be of no
value in deciding the contest Nov. 5.

The houses of several farmers on the
Milford road were entered one day last
week and robbed of money, that being
the only thing the thief or thieves were
after. The sum of $50 was taken from
the home of Gus Fenz; $63 from the
home of Arnold Eckert and $5 from the
home of Mrs. Knaak. The robberies
were not reported to the officers until ii

BANKRUPTCY SUIT
AGAINST OIL COMPANY
Bankers Trust Company Asks That
Central Company Bc Declared
Insolyent.

Another step In the litigation thai
has been pending in the United States
district court between the Central
Fuel and Oh company and the Bank
crs Trust company was made In tho
federal court yesterday afternoon
when the trust company filed an in
voluntary bankruptcy suit against the
subsidiary corporations of the oil
company.
When the oil company was first es-
tablished an agreement was entered
into between II and the Texas Pipe
Line company whereby the oil com
pany was to furnish the Texas corpo-
ration a specified amount Of oil each
month, Il was alleged IN the first suit
brought, The output Of the Central
company, however, did not come up
to the minimum laid down In the
agreement, II Is said and the Texas
corporation brought suit In the United
States district court for specific per-
formance OF the contract.
That suit, brought some months ago,
was decided by Judge Ralph f. Camp
bell on the contract could only be
enforced as far as the oil company
was able to deliver the oil and that
the whole output should go to the
Texas company. The Texas company
appealed and the case was remanded
to the district court for retrial.
l. Subsequent to that suit the Bankers
Trust company came into court to
foreclose some mortgages which It
claimed It held to the Central COM
panys property. This suit Is still
pending In the court, 1t is said that
the Bankers Trust company and the
Texas company have since consoli-
dated and that the proceedings yes
terday are an attempt at a short cut
to an adjustment OF the litigation,
