Henry I. Forsyth, general manager of
the Union Transfer company, against
whom sensational charges were made re
cently. In a suit brought to recover $16,000
alleged to have been misappropriated by
him from the fund of the company, se
cured a temporary Injunction from Judge
Scott of the Superior court restraining O.
P. McKesson and W. A. Southard, stock
holder In the company, from holding; a
stockholders' meeting lust right, the pur
pose ef which, Forsyth alleged, was to
oust him from office as manager of the
corporation. ,
The call for the meeting to be held at
ft o'clock Inst evening was Issued In the
names of McKesson and Southard, who,
with Forsyth and his wife, own all of the
stock of the company.
fn his petition for a restraining order
Forsyth sets forth that originally the stock
of the company was owned by C. R. Han
nan, J. S. Grctzcr, O. P. McKe.son, D. W.
Relby and himself and wife. In October,
M02. he alleges thnt he and Southard en
tered Into a verbal agreement by which
they were to acquire all of the stuck owned
by Hannan, Gretser and McKesson, and
that In pursuance of this agreement South
ard purchased the stock of Hannan ani
Orctzer. and held the same In trust as to
one-half thereof for him. Forsyth; thnt
subsequently Southard. In further pursu
ance of the agreement, acquired by pur
chase all the stock of McKesson, but under
exactly what terms was unknown to For
syth except that McKesson still held part
of the stock as security for the purchnsc
price. '
The petition then refers to the suit
brought against Forsyth a few weeks ago.
which It Is alleged wag for the purpose of
not only destroying his property rights In
the company and Its business but also his
good name and standing In this commun
ity. The further allegation Is made that
McKesson and Southard, In pursuance of
the plan to destroy his (Forsyth's) good
name and business standing, have agreed
to vote us a unit In any action looking to
the deprivation of Forsyth of any office or
connection with the management of the
business of the company.
Regarding the call for the meeting for
Moiday evening. Issued by McKesson and
Southard. It is asserted that they would
control more than two-thirds of the capital-
stock, and could therefore vote to oust
Forsyte from office. Forsyth- claims that
the regular time of meeting for the elec
tion of efflcers Is the third Monday In Jan
uary, abd that he Is not subject to re
moval from office by stockholders during
his term of office .
In addition to the Injunction Forsyth asks
that he be decreed owner of one-half of
all the stock purchased from Hannun and
Oretzer, and such an amount of the stock
purchased from McKesson as will make
him a one-half owner of all the stock of
the company.
The temporary restraining order Issued
by Judge Scott not only enjoined McKes
son and Southard from holding the meet
ing as called, but also from interfering
with Forsyth as manager of the company.
In his petition Forsyth alleges that since
the suit was begun against him Southard
has without lawful authority assumed the
duties of manager.

Closed aa Result of Complnlnts
Filed by Constable Dnlley
I'art of City Campaign.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. 28. (Special.) Wil
liam E. Miller of Bedford, Taylor county,
was this afternoon appointed by Gov
ernor Cummins to be Judge of the, dis
trict court In the Third Judicial district
to succeed Robert L. Purrlsh, who has
resigned to enter the practice of law In
this city. Miller Is about 35 years of age
ond has been twice elected county attorney
In Taylor county. He was ti candidate
for the nomination when bis predecessor
was named and on one ballot It is asserted
that he had an actual majority of the bal
lots, but before It was announced changes
were made that deprived liim of the nom
ination. Miller was born In Davenport,
when his father. Rev. Emory Miller, well
known In the Methodist ministry, was
postor'of Grace church. Dr. Miller after
wards had the First church In Des Moines
and young Miller graduated from the West
Des Moines High school, afterwards tak
ing the law course at the State university.
He practiced law here for a year and
then went to Taylor county. There'wcre
a half dozen candidates for the place when
Judge Panish resigned, but the content
simmered down to three. Including Miller,
H. K. Evans of Corydon and Judge R. C.
Henry oT Mount Ayr. Miller will hold
until his successor is elected and qulifled,
about a year hence, but he will be a can
didate for the nomination himself.
' Offers a Reward.
Governor Cummins this afternoon Is
sued a proclamation offering a reward of
1;!00 for the arrest and conviction of the
person who killed a farmer boy In Audu
bon county last month. Richard Robson,
aged 16, was left by his father at work
In tho cornfield gathering corn on the
afternoon of November 11, when the father
went to Exlra. eight miles away on an
errand. On the father's return the boy
could not be found, but the horses were
found late In the evening. Search was
made for the boy by the parents and by
neighbors, but no trace of him could be
found and the conclusion was reached that
he had run away from hla home. But on
December 8, Mr. ICllne, a neighbor, cros
sing the cornfield, came upon the dead body
of tho boy lying only a short distance
from where he had gathered some corn
on the fatal day. There was evidence that
he had been struck over the head and
killed, but all efforts to locate the criminal
have failed, hence the offer of reward
made today. The affair Is mysterious,
since it was not known that the boy had
an enemy.
v Closed the (.anibllna; Houses. 1
Information against the gamblers of
Des Moines was filed today by Constable
Dalley, one of the constables Indicted some
time ago for corruption, and about a dozen
well recognized gambling houses were shut
UP. The affair is regarded as on Incident
to the city campaign now In progress. A
delegation of the gamblers called on John
McVlcar, one of the candidates for mayor
and demanded of him that he call Dalley
off or they would defeat him for the nomi
nation. McVlcar told them that they were
known to be already working to defeat
him and" gave them no comfort. They
therefore closed a!l their houses and they
will probably remain closed for a time at
least.
Clairvoyants Are Kabbeil.
Requisitions were issued today for the
return to Illinois of two persons under ar
rest at Dubuque accused of . obtaining
money by a confidence game. One gave
the name Prof. Omar Dazara. alias Prof.
Dumont, and the other was known as Dr.
Story. There was a third party with them
who was pot 'arrested. The three worked
In Decatur, 111., and posing as clarlvoyants
obtained large sums of money from various
persons.
A requisition has been asked for the re
turn from Kansas City of three persons
supposed to have been connected with the
bank robbery some weeks ago at Qulmby.
Two persons, Abner Hicks and Elmer
Dunning, were arrested and are out on
bonds, but three others giving various
names are now held at Kansas City.

IOWA FRUIT MEN ARE ANGRY
Complain that Railroads Are Giving;
Eastern Apple Growers a Great
Advantage.
GLEN WOOD, Ia.. Dec. 21 Southwestern
Iowa fruit growers are up in arms be
cause they believe the railroads of the
west are discriminating seriously against
them. They insist that under existing con
ditions it is Impossible for Iowa apple grow
ers to enter Into competition with eastern
growers, who have In every way the best
of it.
These matters were discussed at some
length at the meeting of the Southwestern
I own, Horticultural society in Glenwood re
cently and at that time a rpecial com
mittee, consisting of D. I.. HeinKhelmer of
Glenwood, J. p. Hess of Council Bluffs
and W. M. Bamberger of Harlan was ap
pointed to interview the various western
railroads upon the matter and get a read
justment of rates if possible. The com
mittee will take up the matter at once
and make a vigorous' campaign to estab
lish more equitable conditions fur western
fruit men.
Especial complaint is made of the
western rate on apples. It appears that
the rate on apples is about three times
that on grain and other produce. The
apple men of Iowa say this stands In their
way mere than anything else. They can't
compete with the apple growers of Mki
gan and New York, who have only to
pay about half the freight rate that Iowa
growers do. For instance. It oidy costs
I1U on a car of apples from New York to
Omaha, while from Glenwood to western
Nthraska, a third of the distance, the rats
is -) a car.
MEASLES IS J00 PREVALENT
Epidemic at Webster City "aid to
Alarm Residents Itecnnae So
Aavravated.
WEBSTER CITY, la.. Dec. 2R.-(Sprclnl )
The epidemic of measles now raging In
the city Is becoming serious. There are
about twenty-five homes quarantined.
The disease is not prevalent in a mild
form, but an aggravated type. Unlike the
smallpox and other "hrraklng-out" tlls
easea, the meoslcs are given out in their
worst form while the patient Is still In the
catarrhal slate or before any breaking out
occurs. In other diseases of this kind con
tagion Is not present until the breaklng
out period. The city authorities are mak
ing every effort to check the run of tho
disease. Like all children's complnlnts,
however. It is a hard matter to check. The
mumps are still raging also. The authori
ties make no attempt to quarantine for the
bitter disease, hence It will run its course
before the city will be rid of It. In measles
no definite quarantine Is mnde. The red
card is put tip and taken down at the dis
cretion of the physician attending the cuse.

December 15. The recommendation of the
secretary of the interior contemplates un
nexlng to the National ptirk nearly 3 0o0
square miles in Wyoming, thirty square
miles In Idaho, and 2ii square miles in
Montana. It Is proposed to Incorporate this
vast tract Into the National park, subject
to the same restrictions and discipline.
The meeting wa largely attended by
cltlsens of every class, and some very
strong speeches were made against the
proposed legislation. The meeting adopted
resolutions denouncing this attempt to
Incorporate over S.O'iO.MO acres Into what
would be practically a game preserve; de
clares the withdrawal of this vast area
from the available ranges would utterly
ruin the livestock Industry of a territory
several hundred miles square; declares the
proposed legislation would force settlers
who now have highly Improved ranches
within the Yellowstone and Teton forest
reserves to abandon them and their Im
provements and take up lieu selections
from what is left of government land sub
ject to entry; denounce this as number
attempt on the pait of eastern sportsmen
to create a vast game preserve for theii"
enjoyment, to the exclusion of the settlers
who huve reclaimed and civilized this
country and who are rightfully entitled to
Its njoynienl; urges Wyoming senators
and representatives in congress to use all
means in their power to prevent such
legislation, and calls upon the people of
Wyoming, Idaho and Montana to publicly
pretest In a similar manner.
This community is entirely of one mind
In this matter. It la the furt-st reserve
fight of last summer greatly liitvnsltUd.
The strongest, most appealing, most
engaging short story that has come
from the hand of 'this undisputed
master of fiction is his contribution,
"The Christmas Peace"
Mr. P age is undoubtedly one of the '
foremost short story writers of the day,
and this delightful Christmas tale, in
which he has woven the charm and
pathos of which ho is, master, will ap
peal to hundreds of thousands of
readers. This story, beautifully
illustrated with drawings by Blendon

In that contention those directly concerned
wire largely sheepmen and ranchmen.
in this vast area thousands of herds and
flocks iind both winter and summer range,
and should the secretary's recommendation
become a law grazing would be prohibited
and many large ciutlit.s would be compelled
to go out of business. In the present cae
nil stockmen ure menaced alike and are
thoroughly determined to win out In this
as they did In the forest reserve tight with
the department last summer. At thut time
meetings of protest were he'.d in all parts
of Wyoming and a petition sent to the
picidciit signed by nearly 2.0'j'j citizens re
tiding on or near tho reserve, praying for
the restoration of the open lands to the
grazing lnter.-sts of the stare. In this the
people succeeded In having nearly I.miO.ijoO
acres testored to them, and the hheepmen
secured valuable grazing concessions tli. ru
tcforo denied. The present struggle means
life or death to the live stock Industry of
a largo territory, and it consequent evil
r fleets upon general business conditions. It
la hoped by this early action to airangle
the proposed legislation In its Imiplency,
but should the measure be brought before
congress the stockmen will Invoke the aid
of the National I.lve Stock association and
spare no expense to prVvent Its passage.
Klml'ar meetings are being arranged for
In all pans of norlhwestern Wyoming, mid
in ten days it is predicted several thousand
petitions will be on th'cir way toward Wash
ington to be, used by the congressional dele
gations. Today at a called meeting of the West
Pig Horn stuck association, an organisa
tion representing a large percentage of
fattlemen ranging east of the National
park, similar rfolutlons were passed and
forwarded to Washington. The associa
tion protests against any enlargements of
the National Park.
