The results outlined were reached

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SUES CITY FOR THOUSANDS
From Friday's Dally.
Fifty-seven counts are presented'in an
amended answer and cross petition
filed by the National Life Insurance
company of Montpelier, Vt., as a rea
son why that company should have
judgment against the city of Ottumwa:
for $35,000. This sum is the principal
and interest on thirty-two $1,000
bonds issued by the city of Ottumwa
to the Chicago Ft. Madison & Des
Moines railroad company several years
ago, and now held by the Vermont
insurance company.

money to the railroad company direct
much was saved in securing title to
the land that any representations,
pretenses or promises made by the
officers of the coibpany during the ne'
gotiations leading up to the written
contract with the city are of no avail
and that the donation of the land was
absolute and without any restrictions.
JAMES H. HYDE RE-ELECTED
AT EQUITABLE MEETING
The company alleges that It is the
holier of thirty-two of the thirty-five
of these bonds, that with the interest
there is now due about $35,000. The
company asks that the petition of the
plaintiff be denied and dismissed and
that the company be given judgment
against the city for $35,000 and the
costs of the suit. Lane & Waterman,
Fred A. Howland and Dillon & Hub-
never in doubt. His election to the
chairmanship of the executive and fi
nancial committees was regarded as
significant in this connection.
"We have settled all differences and
healed all wounds," said Mr. Hyde, af
ter the meeting. "Every one of us,
from my superior Mr. Alexander,
down to the htimulest subordinate, is
now pulling together. We arc in com
plete accord."
The solution of the society's troubles
was largely due, it is understood, to
the conciliatory methods employed by
Senator Depew and Jacob H. Schlff.
Contrary to report, Mr. Schlff had not
arrayed himself on either side, and
was among those who favored mutual

From Friday's Daily.
The local offices of the International
Harvester company in this city are to
be permanently discontiniflbd March 1.
While it is Impossible to verify this
information from the local office owing
to the fact that A. H. Lelmbrook, gen
eral agent and in charge of the local
branch of the concern, could not be
seen this afternoon, the report corneal
upon reliable authority.
While rumors to the effect that tha
local branch of the big harvester con
cern in Ottumwa was soon to be per*
manently discontinued it was not un«
til today through reliable Information
from correspondents that the Courier
was able to-announce the early re
moval as a fact. Even' now owing ta
the fact that access to Mr. Lelmbrook
is denied it is impossible to give all
the details of the transfer.
Mr. Lelmbrook it is understood is to
go to Aurora, 111., where he will have
charge of a branch similar to the Ot
tumwa branch, mother employes, in
cluding office men and stenographers,
repair men and traveling representa
fives' are to be distributed to the of.
flees of the combine in Des Moines.
Employs Many Men.
The Ottumwa branch is one "of "the''"'""
four branches of the state. The terri
tory covered by the branch consists of
the two southern tiers of the county
making fourteen counties in all. The
volume of business done has reached
into many thousands of dollars.
In the busiest season the local
branch has had as high as seventy-five
traveling men employed. Twenty-five
or-thirty jnore have been employed In
the branch as repair men an. in many
offices, making the branch in many
ways one of the most important ones
of tfae city.
^Formerly Four Companies.
Previous to the formation of the
Harvester combine In November, 1903,
four of the big harvester concerns
maintained offices and branches In Ot
tumwa. These were the McCormick,
the Piano, the Deering and the Cham
pion. Three of these offices were
closed and the quarters occupied by
the Champion on West Main street,
became the location of the new con
solidated offices.
The other quarters were occupied
as storage rooms for the various ma
chines handled. The large storage
rooms of the Champion company were
fitted up to handle the repairs for. all
the machines.
It was on November 11 that A. H.
Leinbrook arrived in the city and took
charge of the local branch. Mr. Lein
brook came to this city from St.Louls
where he occupied a position of a sim
ilar nature to the present one for the
Ghamplon company. JOS'1*4*|"
Statement by Leinbrook.
"When seen late this afternoon Mr.
Leinbrook stated that it was a fact
that the office of general agent in Ot
tumwa was to be abolished but the
equipment of the International con
cern in Ottumwa in the way of storage
and repair rooms would be maintained
under the supervision of J. F. Utley,
general agent at Davenport.
A few of the storage and repair men
are to be retained but the office men
and employes will practically all be
transferred to other offices. The rea
son given for the changes was the re
duction of expenses to bo accom
pllshed by placing the local branch un
der the Davenport officials, thereby
saving the salary of the general agent
and the heavy office expenses.
