to Employers - Conspiracy Is Al
legged.

Waterloo. Aug. 17.-As an outgrowth
of controversy over the ownership Of
a patent on an automobile differential,
Bryan & Co.. of this city, has COM
menced in district court an action for
damages against l.. Fl. Schurlock, G.
CE Wolf, William F. Muehl and the NJ.
& S. Gear Company. The Judgment
asked is one of the largest in any dam
age suit in the history of the county,
being 100000. Conspiracy on the part
of the defendants to defraud theeplain-
tiff is alleged in the petition.
The plaintiff states in it's petition
that during the year 1912, William F..
Bryan, w. H. Harris, George C. Green
up, Gus E. Brown, G. 9. Wolf and l.. HI.
Spurlock were joint owners of United
States patent No. 1,030,097. dated June
49, 1912. and also a Canadian patent
dated Feb. IS, 1912, both patents being
for improvements in the combination
driving mechanism and differentials for
automobiles, which avoided the neces-
sity for the usual two-part rear axle
and provided for the travelling Of the
outer wheel at greater rate of speed
than the inner wheel in turning a
corner.
These men. says the petition, asso-
,ciated themselves under the name of
Bryan & Co, with headquarters in
Waterloo. In December 1912. says the
petition, they employed William F.
Muehl as an expert mechanical en-
gineer to devise and perfect an Inn
provement in gear differentials for
automobiles which would drive the
wheels on both sides of an automobile
equally at all times, whether travelling
in q straight line or on curve.
Muehl, says the petition, was to de-
vote his entire time and skill to per-
fecting such an improvement and the
final result was to be disclosed to the
plaintiff and the improvements and the
right to sell the patent rights were to
be the property of Bryan & Co.
Conspiracy Alleged.
Muehl. further says the petition,
succeeded in perfecting such a device
and applied for a patent which was is
sued to him March 10, 1914. and which
is known as the M. & S. gear and also
as the Muehl differential. Scurlock
and Wolf, continues the petition. real
izing that the device would be worth
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars, con-
spired with Muehl to defraud Bryan &
Co. and others interested out of their
ownership In the device and induced
Muehl to get the patent for his and
their own use.
To further this conspiracy, says the
petition, the three organized a corpo-
ration under the laws Of the state OF
North Dakota, having capital stock
of $1,000 900 under the name of the NJ.
& s. Gear Company, with scurlock as

president ana the other defendants as
directors. 1t II further charged that
they then transferred the patent in
exchange for capital stock to the NJ. &
8. Gear Company to the amount Of
5000, 900, which Muehl, Scurlock and
Wolf are accused Of converting to their
own use.
Bryan 4 Co. therefore sue for $780,
900 but state they will settle the case
II the stock in the NJ. & S. Gear Com
pany is transferred to Bryan s. Co.
