In reality Mr. Kocnlgstoln IB seeking , by legal process to establish his right to a share of the proceeds of the sale of the sugar factory property amount' Int ; to 2V& per cent of thu proceeds ol tlio sale , that amount representing the proportion between hln contribution to the sugar factory fund , $2,500 , and the total amount raised locally , $100,000. Is an Old Controversy. An old cohtroversy Is represented In the issues. What is really Involved in the present court dispute Is the legality of the profored stock Issued In the organization of thu Industrial company tour years ago. Basis of the Dispute. "When the Norfolk Beet Sugar com pany , the preliminary company for the American Beet Sugar company In this territory , was organized In 1889 , Nor folk citizens agreed to subscribe $100- 000 au a bonus. Most of the amount was paid by the 100 odd subscribers and the balance was made up by the guaranty committee , the members ot the committee In addition to their original subscriptions making up the several thousand dollars which was needed to complete the fund. After operating for fourteen years , 1'ie American Beet Sugar company In 1905 moved its Norfolk machinery tc Colorado. At that tlmo the company mnrto proposals which resulted in the organization of the Norfolk Industrial company to represent the subscribers to the bonus. The beet sugar com pany agreed to make over the Norfolk property and buildings by deed to the Industrial company , the deed to be placed In escrow In the Merchants Na tional bank In Omaha and a mortgage to bo executed in favor of the sugar company to run for a period of four years guaranteeing the sugar company i1 against any suits which might be file by subscribers to the bonus. This i agreement was entered into four years ago next Sunday , but it is stated that the mortgage was not executed until sometime in the summer , which makes it still In force. The Norfolk men who organized the Industrial company provided that the members of the guaranty committee should recolv'o preferred stock to covet v their extra subscriptions and that com mon stock In the company should be issued to the other subscribers , the holders of common stock to receive nothing until the amount of subscrip tion by preferred stock bo paid. The property has since been under the con trol of this company. . Not Satisfactory to All. Subscribers to the bonus who did not approve of the issuing of preferred stock but who believed that all should eharo alike , have for the most pan refused to take out common stock Ir the Industrial company and from time to time suit has been threatened. Want's to Know Where He's At. John Koonlgsteln asks the distric' ' court to ascertain what ho now hai coming on the $2,500 he subscribed years ago. Ho asks that the proceed ! of the sale of buildings by the * com mltteo bo paid Into court and that tin other property be ordered sold and th < proceeds distributed among the sub soribers in the manner , which Iw claims was Intended In the transfer He charges In the district court tha the organization of the Industrial com pany was without the request , warran or authority of the parties to the sub .scrlptlon fund and was made withou his knowledge. It has been claimed by some of thi bonus subscribers that under the present ent organization of the Industrla company , the preferred stock wouh probably eat up the entire proceeds o the sale of the property. Company Will Answer. Just what would bo the characte of the court's decision in case tin general legality of Koenlgsteln's con tentlon should be sustained is not exactly -actly known. Light will be thrown on the cas when the Industrial company flics ai answer to the suit , setting up the JUE tlco of its organization. The sugar factory has been empt ; since the boot Industry died in thi section. It has been suggested re peatedly that the factory be turnei over to some new industry. Democrats for Prohibition.

"That wo endorse any action of any member ( on their Individual effort and at their Individual expense ) that will seek to test the constitutionality of this measure on these or any other grounds , believing the law Is absolute ly Inadequate to accomplish the pur pose for which It was Intended and that If allowed to go Into effect it will work nn inestimable Injustice and In jury to the community at large and to the bankers themselves , both mitlbnal and state.
