Recently some of the larger pack

than If they had bought from the ex-

Once they get this power, it is assert
ed, prices will be dictated by them
and the producer will have to take
what he can get.

STOCK BUYERS ALLEGE FRAUD
File Four Suits to Recover Money and
Notes From Farmers Terminal
Packing Company.

st. Paul. - -Four suits to recover
money and notes paid for stock in the
Farmers Terminal Packing company
Of St. Paul, have been filed in the
Ramsey county district court.
The plaintiffs are: Peter Olson,
Cumberland, Wis; John Carlson, Com.
stock, Wis; E. P. Erlandson, Holding
ford, Mimi, and John Nelson, Upsala,
MINI.
Olson and Carlson are suing to re-
cover money paid for stock and Err
landson and Nelson to recover notes
given in payment for stock. The
plaintiffs charge misrepresentation on
the part of the defendants.
Peter Olson, in his compl:Gnt, says
that the defendant, by false represen-
tations, induced him to give his note
for 500 in payment for one share Of
stock.
The company, Mr.. Olson charges,
does not own the 164 acres near St..
Paul intended for a site and the land,
instead of $500 an acre, as represent
ed, is not worth more than SO. The
plant when completed will not have
the capacity represented, it is charged,
and not more than 100000 worth of
stock had been sold when it was stat
ed that $25O,000 worth had been sold
The company was paying promoters
rs per cent instead of Is per cent, as
represented, he says, and if all the
stock was sold the company would
not have over 100000, after paying
expenses, whereas more than $4,000
900 would be required to build and
equip the plant, and more than $780,
600 in ready cash would be required
for operation until returns could be
obtained.
Instead Of holding the money for
the erection of plant, as represent
ed, it is charged, the company has
been paying it over to the promoters,
and no arrangements have been made
to handle the livs stock of subscrib-
ers, as promised, nor has it arranged
for any business whatever.
The other complaints are similar to
that of Mr.. Olson.
