stockholders Protest Against
Officers Disposing of Casing
and Machinery
Suit was commenced yesterday in
.he district court at Oklahoma City
by C. T. Walcher of Gutlirie against
the officers of the Fall is Oil com
pany. About forty stockholders most
of them residing in this city have
arranged to assist in the- prosetmtiou
of this suit. They claim that the
ofticers of the Fallis Oil company
secured about $ i0 K.tO.00 firom sale of
stock and lots and that a consider
able portion of this money lias been
misappropriated the well lias me-m
sunk to a depth of l90u feet and oil
e.xperts vvho have recently investi
gateti the matter claim that oil in
large calamities will be found by
drilling only a few feet deeper.
The officers of the Fallis Oil com
pany recently made a tleat vvitn .wr
Fred I'tak of Oklahoma iCity whereby
they agreed to sell the engine dor-
rick all tools and machinery and
about fi.noo feet of casing for
$r0m'i.(i0 w-hioh is much- lesal than
his property is worth. G. A. lOrixori
ittorricy. reiiresentinsr the stock
holders went to Oklahoma City yes-
terday and applied for a temporary
injunction. This was granted by
.Judge John J. Carney and the stock-
holders now declare that they will
endeavor to deonuanize the company
and develop the proerty. The stock-
holders some time ago brought a suit
against the officers for accounting
and this ease is still pending.

BRYAN FORCES LOSE

Omaha Neb. J ul v 110. The feature
of the Democratic state convention
ieli at Columbus Neb. was the de
feat of William .1. Bryan and his
u-other Charles W. Bryan in their
efforts to prevent the resolutions
passed by the convention from con
taining a laudatory mention of Sen
ator (!. M. Hitchcock. It was the old
tight which has waged between Bryan
and Hitchcock for several .years.
The first test of strength came on
the elo.-tinn of a secretary to he
state committee in which the Hitch-
cock candidate won by a vote of bill
to Kit. After this test there was no
fui-'hcr fight Charles Bryan recog-
nizing that the majority of the con-
vention was oppose dto him.
The platform adopted contains the
usual Democratic planks.
