George H. Proctor of New York, who is well known on this coast through his promotion schemes, has been made the chiet defendant in a sult instituted | because of his alleged juggling of the business affairs of the McCloud River Electrical Power Company, of which he is president. Denson & Schlesinger, at- torneys representing the interests of L. S. Barnes of Shasta County, yesterday flled suit in the Superior Court of that county against Proctor and the flve other di- rectors of the power company, in which startling allegations are made against| the New York promoter. The petition of the plaintiff in the suit | asks that the court appoint a receiver for | the company on the grounds that the business of the corporation has been grossly mismanaged by President Proctor and that he has appropriated sums which | have been advanced to him to settle the accounts of the concern. Proctor is al- leged specifically to have hypothecated certain bonds and reallzed therefrom $40,- 000, which he cannot account for. The first of Proctor's shadowy transac- tions, according to the allegation of the plaintiff, was the securing of the indebt- ‘edness of the corporation by the execu- tion of a mortgage to the Union Trust Company of this city of the amount of $600,000 on May 31, 1900. Upon this sum it is claimed that $20,000 interest remains un- pald. Again it ls charged that on March 10, 1902, Proctor was furnished with $10,000 by the board of directors to pay on labor claims amounting to $12,000, which he failed to do, but converted the money to his own use. Together with the remain- ing directors, Robert Gibson, W. R. A. ‘Wilson, W. B. Twombly, A. Hochheimer and A. F. Johns, the president is further charged with having fatled td call meet- ings of the directors and neglected to ap- point agents for the transaction of the company’s business. The plaintiff seeks to have the man- agement of the power company taken out of the hands of Proctor and his board of directors and put in the hands of a re- ceiver.

Hindes, and has paid $1300 per front foot for it. The trams- action went through the agency of Shain- wald, Buckbee & Co. The sum paid $85,000. The Hindes purchase took in frontage on Sutter street of 130:8 feet, | with the Eldridge mansion. On this a handsome structure will be erected, twenty feet of the lot, however, having been sold to Mr. Newbauer. Pattiant will improve the lot that he has just bought. It is near Mason street. ——————— . Wells Are Contaminated. City Chemist Green yesterday filed a report with the Health Board showing that out of nine wells supplying. “Car- | ville” with water five are contaminated. two are doubtful and two are in good condition. The Health Board has asked the Supervisors to construct a septie ¢ank to take the place of the unhealthy cess- pools which abound in the oceanside set- tlement. TERROR IN A VILLAGE| Postoffice Is Robbed and Citizens Scatter While the Despera- does Fire Pistols. ] WHATCOM, Wash.,, April 4.—Two | masked outlaws terrorized the village of Ferndale last night, shot at every man who appeared on the streets, robbed the postoffice of $150 and succeeded fn making | their escape without leaving the slightest | clew to their identity. ! The outlaws made their first appe=rance | at the postoffice, where they ordered the | postmaster to deliver to them the con- tents of his tiil. The postmaster refused, in his hands kept him covered the other emptied the contents of the till Into a sack. Nothing but money was taken. Four men who were in the office when the robbers came in were compelled to leave, the robbers firing their revolvers over their heads as they took their departure. Before leaving a dozen more shots were fired by the robbers. ———e———————— Now or Never.
