Association TO Lose Heavily.

Fergus Palls,~-The GAINESVILLE pota-
to warehouse case las taken a new
turn here In the application by credi-

The association was farmers co.
operative company, and was largely
managed by Mr. Carey, q banker OF
GAINESVILLE, who failed some time ago.
The directors Of the association had
some differences OF opinion and six OF
them resigned. leaving but three on
the board. These three consulted
with MIR. Cary from time to time,
and early last fall he engaged Mr.
Bernardy as manager for the associa
ton. MIR. Bernardy did a big business
but an unusually early freeze caught
eight cars Of potatoes on track and AZ
cars In transit, and spoiled all of then
involving a loss of $4,000.
The directors of the association nov
contend that Bernafdy was not it,
legal manager, as they had never had
u meeting 10 engage him, and thai
whatever business he transacted and
whatever losses we're incurred was an
individual matter with him.
The creditors assert that Bernardi
was engaged with the tacit consent o.
the officers OF the association, and
that he carried on business In III
name and no objection was ever rails
ed by anyone until the potatoes froza
involving the big loss. Evidence if
the case was taken before Referee
Field here.

acts OF the association. every stock
holder win be liable for double the
amount of the stock he holds. The
stockholders are largely farmers In
