CAUSE OF HIS ACTION

Louis Schloss, who filed suit yes
terday calling for an accounting Of
the Tonopah Merger Mining company
in connection with various allegations
concerning the absorption OF the
Golden Anchor Mining company re-
mains in Tonopah for a few days and
this morning took occasion TO fur
nish the Bonanza with a statement
Of the developments of his suit
which he denied most emphatically
had any ulterior motive. All he
wants is to have the cloud cleared
from the affairs of that company
regardless of politics or anything
else. In his statement he writes
that he first intended filing suit the
day after election and so told John
r. Vardaman, chairman of the demo
cratic club There was no secret of
the pendency of the suit and the
action of yesterday was preeipitated
by the discovery that Pittman re-
tained in his possession a letter
which he disclaimed having receiv-
ed As soon as the discovery was
made steps were taken to prepare
the complaint and. as soon as the
papers were completed they were
filed The letter follows:
To the Tonopah Bonanza

man but twice in his life, the first
being about four years ago in Reno.
and the second about the 29th day
