A case Involving $3,000 worth of stock of ho now retired Council Bluffs Lumber com- iany la on trial In the district court. Some line ago the company was merged with the ; lex Lumber company. Before that Mrs. M. J. Irons disposed of her Interest , $5,000 , to he John II. Davis Lumber company of Wisconsin for $3,000 , Inasmuch as that com pany held a claim ot about $11,000 for goods sold the Council Bluffs Lumber company , which would almost , It not entirely , wipe out the company's assets. Mrs. Irons now illeges that the sale was brought about by false representations , and that the claim of Uio Davis company was entirely fraudulent. She accordingly wants the sale set nsldo and a judgment for the difference between the value of her stock nnd the amount Mio re ceived. She further claims that all the money actually In the business was put In by lier , although she held only one-third ot the stock. Evidence to that effect was Introduced yesterday , and It was shown that she did not know of the way In which the affulr was managed until after the sale. The other stockholders , consequently , had no real financial Interest In that company , but were members of the Star Union company , whose bills they accordingly made ns large as possible , so she claims. Six years of business wiped out entirely the $15,000 claimed to have been Invested. She wants the crurt to adjudge her the owner of the cthar twc- thlrds ot the stock , as well < ti the ine-thlrO for which the held certificates.

The attention of the president was called to the state ment that there had been a disagreement between him and Mr. Carlisle In regard to the Issue ot bonds and other matters , and Intimating such disagreement might result In the secretary's retirement from the cabi net. The president emphatically denied the entire "batch of silly mlsstatements , " and said : "Never since our association to gether has there been the slightest unpleas antness or difference concerning'the affairs ot the Treasury department or any other matter. I have every reason to believe his. attachment to me Is as sincere and great as mine Is for him. I should be much afflicted It anything should cause him to entertain the thought of giving up his posi tion , where ho Is doing EO much for his country. We have agreed exactly as to the Issue of bonds , and there has been no backwardness on his part on that tubject. I see It Is said I am formulating a financial scheme. If such a scheme Is presented It will be the work ot the secretary of the treas ury and I ehall endorse and support It.

FRAUDS AT THE OPENING OF THE STRIP Grosi Irregularities liclng llroucht to IJcht Ilefore the Government Townslte \ Commission lluira Guthrle Law yer Avoided Waiting In Line. PERIIY , Okl. , Nov. 16. Many of the great frauds perpetrated In the opening of the Cherokee oulet , which consists of 6,000,000 ncics of valuable land , formerly occupied by the Cherokee Indians , are coming to light , but the greatest was unearthed today In a trial bcforo the government townslto cora- mlsilon , and a tribunal appointed by the secretary of the Interior to determine con tests for town lots. Perry , by great odds , Is the largest townslto In the new promised land opened by the present administration. At high noon September 18 , 1893 , of the 12,000 persons who ran for homes or town lots In the Cherokee strip , nearly 4,060 of them slept on Perry townslto lots on the night of September 18 , 1893. To bo a quali fied entryman to take town lots or homes It was necessary for the man or woman to go to government booths and there on oath make a certain required declaration before a booth ccrtlllcate could bo Issued to qualify one to acquire land. Thousands of men and wrmen stood for days In the almost un bearable dust and wind to obtain this neces sary paper which would qualify them to get a home. Ono of these booths was located at Orlando , ten miles south of Perry , and It was there u great fraud vsaa perpetrated which only came to light yesterday. The Interior department sent out several men from Washington to superintend this work of booth certificate's and one D. Lecato was put In charge of the Orlando booth. A prominent lawyer of Guthrlo and a well known character ot the territory , then living at Quthrle , concocted a plan to make a great speculation. Ho obtained the friendship ot Locate , got him drunk and for a few dollars obtained many hundreds of those certificates without the formality of making oath nt a booth , stand ing In line In dust and dirt for days. As the evidence developed In court yester day , he filled hla valise with booth certifi cates and sold theni In Guthrle and other towns at the enormous price of from $25 to $100. It was the presentation of one of these certificates In court nnd a full Investi gation that has brought this Orlando fraud , and In fact frauds at all of the ten booths , to light. m Memorial I'ortrult of IMtrln Iloolli.
