was made that she was missing from
her room. Every effort to discover
her whereabouts was futile. and the

Sioux Falls Merchants Victimized in
Various Sums.

Sioux Falls, Sept. A forger is
abroad and this time he did quite a
business. The work was done Sat
urday evening and the crooked work
vas not detected until the checks
were sent to the clearing house Mon
day morning. but by that time the
bird had flown.
The man suspected of the work
was for some time in the employ OF
the Northwestern Telephone ex-
change in the capacity of lineman.
He disappeared some time between
Saturday night and Monday morning,
leaving his wife behind him.
The case has been placed in the
hands of States Attorney Martin
Bergh who is doing everything pos
sible to get on the trail of the man.
He was holder than most forgers
and got away with a snug sum. Most
of the checks so far uncovered run
between $50 and $40. Stranger to
say, the saloon men escaped this
time, the forger turning his checks
loose among other classes of mer-
chants.

The provision in question is the
one which limits the profit which
may be charged to not exceed 10 per
cent on books by the firms which are
selected as distributors. In some
counties 1t apparently has been the
custom to add charges for t~ransporta-
ton, unpacking and cost of handling
to the contract price which the
ty board has with the publishing
houses, and getting 10 per cent on
these additional charges. The hold
ing the department is that the price
is limited to not exceed 10 per cent
profit above the contract price, and
that no additional charges may be
added above that figure, the 10 per
cent to cover all other expenses of
handling which may arise after the
books have been supplied by the
publishing houses on their contracts.

 FILES DEMURRER
Want Suits Dropped On Grounds Plaintiffs Have
 Shown No Equity
By HARRY W. AYERS

Anniston, March 10.-(Special) 1.-The An niston City Land company, the $1000,00o corporation of this city which was re- gently proceeded against by minority stockholders who seek it's dissolution, has with Chancellor w. w. Whiteside, asking that the suits brought against the com pany be dismissed on the ground that the plaintiffs have shown no equity.
 The demurrers that have already been filed are on behalf of the company. Presi- dent Goodhart of New York and other nonresident directors of the company, who were made parties to the suits, have not made answer as yet, and they will be given until April 15 to file their bill
 Ii is claimed by the minority stockhold- CTS that the majority stockholders decline to pay dividends and are driving down the stock in order that the entire assets of the corporation may come into the control and ownership of the majority holders Two suits have been filed in protest to this alleged policy, one being by Joseph Norwood and the other by Joseph Eros and Mary Lou Phinzy as trustee The an- swer filed by the Anniston City Land company are identical in both cases, 30 separate grounds being alleged as to why the suits are without equity.
 It is claimed that the Anniston City Land company is a going concern. It is not known that all the stockholders are asking for dissolution: attainment of the objects of the company are not shown to be impossible: it is not shown that che company has abandoned it's purposes or that it is not exercising it's functions. It is declared that the company is accom- plishing a portion of it's objects in sell ing and renting. The managing directors of the company it is claimed, have not been shown to be guilty of fraud and no misrepresentation of the funds of the company is shown.
 The fact that the capital stock has been reduced by purchase and retirement from 5000 to 16,000 shares is not a ground for objection, and it is declared that the pur- chase of the shares at 20 per cent of their par value was not authorized by a ma iority vote of the stockholders. It is further alleged that the bill does not show that the compainants have applied at an annual meeting of the company for it's dissolution. furthermore denying that the company's assets are shrinking or that there is any ground for the applica- tion for the dissolution of the corpora tion.
 The date for the trial of the case has not yet been set.
