Biederman, against the Fidelity Protective union and J. H. Cleaver, truasurer, calls up the difficulty between Biederman, during his life one of the best known Odd Fellows in the state, and the company of which he was the founder and one of the ofcers. Th: amount demanded is $2,000, the face of an insurance policy which he held in the com- pany. This company was dissolved several years ago, owing to a little feeling that ex- isted among the other officers toward Bieder- man, and also to a chance these officers had of getting better offices in the National Fra- ternal Life assoclation, which was an older and stronger institution. As near as could be found out by parties on the outside, the dissolution was a sort of freeze-out game against Biederman, and the majority won. But Biederman refused to turn over his allegiance to the National Fra ternal, and weuld not give up his policy in the other company. The Fidelity has now about 300 members, and ts in the mor- tuary fund to the amount of something over $1,000, besides $7,000 In the hands of the auditor of state in the shape of a reserve. J. J. Stewart, as attorney for Mrs. Bieder- man, served notice upon the defendants ye terday, and the petition will be filed before the opening of the August term.

Hewitt claimed > was the attorncy, for he had been hired by the beard of directors when C. J. Willow, the ex-president, was still president Ware, on the other hand, showed that at a meeting of the board of directcrs of the company held Saturday Ell Brown had secured a corner on the board and 'iad Hewitt's engagement canceled and Ware put in his pl Hewitt clalmed that this action of the board, if there was such action, was il'egal. The matter came up in connection with the trial of the cases of the Hammer Lumber company, the Franklin Printing company, the Empkie Shugart Hard- ware company and Kimball Bros. against the Wizard Telephone company, which were to be tried in Justice Vien's court. After hearing the wrangling of the attor- neys for an hour or two, Justice Vien took the case to his closet, and it was not until 1 o'clock that he came out and said he had determined to compromise by recognizing both as attorneys for the defendant. Then came another dispute. Ware wanted to con- fess judgement and Hewitt didn't. But it de- veloped that Hewitt had filed no answer, so that the court had nothing to do but to ren- der judgments by default in each of the cases. The Hammer Lumber company re- cely the Franklin Printing company $14 ipkie Shugart company $15.95 and Kimball Bros. $50.
