J. G. Tiller vs. A. B. Fall and Chas.
F. Hunt, action for the cancellation of
notes and cont ract is the si vie of a
suit filed in the 34th district court
yesterday.
The plaintiff alleges (hat he con-
tracted with the defendants for the
purchase of 50 per cent, of the $50,001)
capital stock of the Sierra Madia Live-
stock company, a corporation doing
business in Mexico, ami gave them
three notes totaling $19,250 on their
contract promise to deliver to him
stock representing onc-lialf interest in
the company.
Tim plaintiff further alleges that de-
fendants, with tho Intention of de-
frauding him out of $19,250 sold all of
the stock, goods, wares, merchandise
and other things of value belonging to
said incorporation and appropriated
the money to their own use; that said
A. B. Fall has rqfused to deliver to
him the stock for which the notes were
given; that therefore the said notes
are wholly without consideration and
that the said A. B. Fall is trying to
sell them to an Innocent purchaser.
Damages for Incarceration.
T. J. Middleton wants W. L. Wilson
to pay him $10,000 damages and has
filed suit in the 41st district court for
the enforcement of this claim.
It seems, according to the plaintiff’s
allegations, that Tug Wilson and Mid-
dleton were gambling in El Paso on
September 2; that the plaintiff lost
and under threats gave defendant a
check to cover his losses, but for some
reason not stated Wilson could not
realize on the check.
The plaintiff alleges that because
he refused to pay the check Wilson
had him arrested and thrown In jail
in Juarez, where plaintiff had to sleep
on the ground.

Harper's court tomorrow morning.
This information was given the dis-
trict attorney yesterday by K. V.
Bowden, counsel for tile defendant.
The sheriff's office has summoned a
special venire of 50 men for this case.
District Attorney Home says he' has
information tha the defendant is
able to come here and he will ask
(lie court to forfeit his $5000 appear-
ance bond.
Attorney Bowden says his client is
not physically able to make the trip
from DeSoto, Mo., here and he will
offer the affidavits of physicians to
that effect. Another report Is that;
Mitchim is as physically fit as he ever
was. He has already been grunted
a lengthy continuance on the same
grounds to he presented by Bowden
again.
