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.

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 I'ompanj' . Mills made no tepoit of Ids action to the dhcctors of his compnnj 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 the foi mer occasion It is claimed that this leport fi-om the trensuicr was the Hist Inti 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- dcavoivd to secuio the lotutn of their cei- tltlcatcs of stock in the Illinois comnanv. nmi lulling in inib instituted suit to comuel their dellvcrj on the ground th.it they had noon lomovcd from their iKisscssIon bv fraud , ' 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 stock in the latter eompanj which had ueen accepted by Mills.
