The United Water Wet kscomp.inj seemed
control of $ ( "i,000 of the stock of the Illinois
company in March , Ih'JO , which is still In
its possession It < lalms that on I'obru.irj
ai , 1MII , a special meeting of the stock
holders of the Illinois company was called
for the puiposo of considering a contract for
the consolidation of the said company with
the Denver company The meeting was
held but ndjouined from day to day without
taking the Intended action until Match : M ,
when it was given out that the contract had
been foimall.v appioved by thustoLkholdeis
It wnsal-so dulaied that a contiact with
C. II Vennci & Co had been appiovod
pending the probpeetho consolidation , b\
the terms of which the latter companj was
tocaitj oncoitaln icpaiis and construction
In tetuni for the 5-pcr cent twentj-jear
gold bonds of the Denv or company
The petition alleges that these contracts
vcro never legally appioved by the Illinois
roinpanj'us fiaud vsas used in seeming the
alleged approval At the meeting March CO
the petitioner u\eis that 1K > 0 shaics of pio-
fetrcd stock of the Illinois Lompanj vveie
v otcd w ithout his consent or approv nl. It Is
nlso claimed that 10,000 sh.ues of common
stock belonging to Solon Li Wlloj of this
city - ncicvoted without the consent of their
owner , and 5,000 shares of common stock be
longing to the petitioner , making 1 ( , 'OO
Bhnie" of stock that weio illcgallj'otcd for
the consolidation and without which the
contract could not have been appiovtd.
'Ihovote of the United Water WoiKs
company in fa\or of the consolidation
was ijceuied through u written proxj issued
by 1II. . Mills , at that time treasurer of the
company , In fa-vorof Joseph A. Giiften , as
sistant secretary of the Illinois comp-inj ,
which puipoitcd to bo sufficient authoiitj to
cast the vote of the company. The aggi loved
companj' now dcclatcs that Mills had no
authoiitj1 to Issue the proxy and the action
obtained through its use was illegal and
should bo declined null and void
It is nlso claimed that the pioxj nsdcllvcicd
to Uriffcn only gave him authoilty to vote
stock nt tlio meeting called for Febi uarj 2(5 ( ,
nnd that Uilffcn changed the Instrument so
ns to extend the effect to cover the subse
quent adjomncd meeting at which the con
solidation was brought about.
VV'lloj
Clarence II. Venncr held Mr Wllej's
proxj' , but , It is now claimed that the owner
did not intend that ho should Aoto It for the
consolidation , and that the stockholders
present weio well nwnio that none of the
stock held by Mr. Wlloy mm the United
Water Woiks Companj could bo h'gallj
voted nt the meeting.
The next move ot the consolidation ( on-
tlngcnt was to oignnlzu n now company
known as the Amoi lean Water Woiks Com
pany of > 'ow Jeisoy Into which the Omnha
and Denver companies w cio mctged. Will
iam A. Underwood was elected picsidcnt
and director of the now company , and the
icmalmng twelve alrectors were selected
crmallj- from among the stockholders of tile
Omaha and Denver companies.
On April 2-t , according to the petition ,
William A Underwood aim Wllllim II Hall ,
who wcro piesidcnt and seiiotarj tespec-
lively of tbo Illinois companj- . with ofllces In
tbo citj' of Omaha , executed two convoj-
nncrs. tuiningovcr all the piopcrtj of the
American Water Woiks companj In Omaha ,
together w 1th Its ftanihiscs and coiutacts ,
to the newly otpanircd Now Jeisej companj
It is claimed that Mcssia Unduiuood and
Hall went to Denver for the puiposo of mak
ing these convojnnees , taking with them the
teals of thocompanj which weio a paitof
thotlxtuiosof Iho Omah.i onlco , amlattached
them to the tfocumont in the state of Colorado
rado , which , according to the \lows of the
complainant , was an Illegal pi Decoding
At a meeting of the duectois of the New
Jeisoj companj held Apiil ! > S > icsolutl > ns

the propertj of the Denver and Illinois com
panies , and in pijment theiofor to Issue
Jft.OlO shaiesof stock in the Now .Tcisov
companj to the old companies The petition
goes on to state that William A Undeiwood
and Clarence II Vernier had mattcis so ar
ranged that they wcioto reap the benefits
of the consolidation while the complainants

On Ma > 1 , 0.250 shares of stock In the New
Jcrsej companv were tuined over to their
trcasuu'r , r II Mills , in ictiiin for the
stock of the Amci lean Water Works com
pany "which " was owned by the United

until the next Dctemoer. w hen the diioctorb
ndopted tesolutlons ivpudlatlng his nctio'i In
accepting the stock and nlso repudiating the
proxy which .Mills had Issued to Gilrten on

mation the directors of the Illinois companj
had received of the consolidation and sub-
cjucnt sale of their stock to the new com
panj' . Soon after the complainants en-

' 1 ho Unl'od company refused to accept nnj
jurtlon of the stock ot the New Jersov com
pany , nnd offeiod to return the certificates of

accepted by Mills. It was Imjiosslblo for the
dtrcctois of the Now Jersey company to take

Dennis Sullivan , icstrnlnlng the directors of

lots civo the 6fs ( satisfaction.
Probably because they'io sugar-coated , small
as grains of mustard seed , therefore , easily
swallowed. Most of all they act In a nat
ural way , nnd are ofTecti\o in result. Then ,
too , after they're tnkun they can't be felt so
different from tbo old-fashioned pills , with
their griping nnd violence.
For indigestion , pain in stomach , costlvo-
ness and habitual constipationns well as sick
and bilious headaches , these "Pellets" bring
such n lasting cure , that they can bo guaran

not give satisfaction.
