of his entire interest in the pn-at system

T.tHH) acres, together with the U-nije wa
ter system, K'viiii? him in retnrn 1.700
shares of the trust comjHmy's stock atul

that the Trust company had a surplus
of SjiuO.OCO, but refused to pay his claim,
and being pushed for money to carry on
his schemes, he borrowed 18.000 from
the North Counties Investment Trust,
giviiij? that concern as security his stock
iu tho Riverside Trust company and his
claim against it for fSS.OOO. Gage al
leges that tho English corporation was
lieavily interested iu tho Riverside Trust
company, which is also an Euglish com

realizing anything on his stock or claim.
The. Northern Counties company, it is
alleged, induced the Riverside company
to repudiate the statement which it
tuudo in March, 18tU, that it hud a sur
plus of $-0,UtfU, which, under the terms
of the piircluise, should have leen used
to pay oft' the indebtedness to Gage. The
complaint also deolaros that tliu valuo
of the stock and claim amounts to f 7"a,

accounting to declare that i'Sy.OOO is a
vendor's lien on tho land and water
rights sold by him to the Riverside Trust
company, that the stock transferred to
tho Northern Counties company be re
turned to him aud tbut he have, judg

Si'onl when they were followed and at

place at 3 o'clock in the morning. There
were C.000 Chiuese with 40 cannon and
0,000 Japanese engaged. A thousand
were killed on each side aud as many
more wounded by arrows and bullets.
One English officer is said to have been
killed. The Japanese made a brilliant
charge on the Chinese and drove them
to the City of Siekan when tha tight
raged furiously for 5 hours. Finally
the Chinese, at the sacrifice of several
cannon and S 'i) wounded on the field,
raid to have been afterward butchered,
retired in fair order to Koshu, where
they fortified themselves on the Corean
ships. The Japanese army followed
them to Asan, where another battle took
