After Working All Night

James Dodson. one of the pro-

Sunday afternoon. He did not
show up at either the barn nor at
his home during the afternoon
and evening and his folks be-
came worried and began To make
inquiries NO one had seen him
since about Twelve o'clock when
he was seen To go into The c.. &
M. hotel. About nine o'clock hc
was found 10y his father in one of
the rooms of that hotel lying ON
a bed i'm an unconscious condi-
lion. Dr. platt was summoned
and he found Dodson just alive.
Underneath his bed was found
a paper such as druggists use To
wrap up bottles ian but il was
some time before anything could
be found that would indicate what

before he showed any signs of

partially reviving him and got
him onto his feet after which they
kept him walking until eight
O'Clock the next morning, nearly
twelve hours after he was first
discovered, when they consider

For Two or three hours during

We've got a Shed for them to look at, too

and the only material they have been
able to sell in the past has been used
in repair jobs and in couple of small
cottages.
"Thomas W. Clark, a brother of
John W. Clark. who owns a farm in
this county. claims that he is inter-
ested in the company and apparently
this combination is going to try the
experiment of selling building mat
erial. They have started the erection
of a small shed, approximately 2Ox4O
feet in size. This, however, would
not hold more than couple Of cars Of
stock.
$50 far as I have been able to
ascertain, they have no immediate
expectation or intention of erecting a
cement warehouse. scales. Office, or
any other shed. excepting the small
one referred to. Neither Of the Clark
brothers have had any experience in
the lumber business or in fact in
any general merchandising line.
Thomas W. Clark is man past
fifty-five and so far as am able
to ascertain has had no business
training whatever. Whenever they
receive any inquiry for an estimate
on the cost of bill of lumber, it
is sent to L. James at st. Paul, and
accordingly the prospective customer
is under the necessity of waiting
some time before he can get any
price excepting for small lots.
"Clark Brothers own piece of
ground which will not exceed three
lots and upon this ground they expect
to carry on their alleged lumber bust
ness. They will probably assume the
name of Clark Brothers, although il
is very likely that for some time at
least they will secure supplies through
the L. James Lumber Company.
81 do not believe that they will be
able to do very much business in
selling lumber or building material OF
taking any contracts.

We have received an inquiry from

financial responsibilities of party by
the name of Thomas w. Clark, who is
represented as having been a member
of the firm of Clark & Barringer, at

satisfactorily thereto, we had repre-
sentative make an investigation and
he reports as follows:
"About year ago l.. James made
some sort of an arrangement with a
farmer living near here by the name
of John W. Clark, and with Stephen
Barringer, of Morris. This latter
party has for some time been en-
ployed as carpenter Later material
in small lots arrived at Morris billed
to the L. James Lumber Company. All
this stock, except little quantity Of
jack pine, was shipped in this manner.
Either Clark or Barringer called al
the depot when the material arrived
and took it away.
'The business was carried on ii
this manner until short time agt
when the so-called firm of Clark
Barringer dissolved partnership. Mr.
Barringer announced that he intended
to continue his contract business ant
Mr.. Clark is to engage in a so-callet

Morris. MINI.

My attention has been called
to the fact that certain parties seem
to be trying to discredit The Clark
Bros. lumbermen of your city, in
an attempt to show that they are not
legitimate dealers.
i am pleased to state that these
gentlemen have been good customers
of ours and | know that they have
erected as good a shed and office as
many lumbermen can boast Of who
Fave. been in business a long time.
If any one cares to look UP the
standing of my Company, financially
or otherwise they will find that we
do not have to seek business out of
the regular channels of retail lumber
men and in selling Clark Bros. we
are certain that we net only sold to
business men but gentleman as we'll.
Some of the best lumbermen of to-
day we're formerly farmers and for
that matter some of the best men
in every walk of life.
After seeing copy of your paper
| could not help feeling that We should
have word to say in the controversy.
Give my friends the CLARK Bros. my
kind regards.
