Cas terline, an employe of the Suburban Ice Coal Company. Mr. Casterline has been giving exhibition of his work and making strong steel out of most pliable wrought iron. Now Zachriah Taylor Clark comes forward with the charge that the alleged wonderful discovery of Mr. Casterline Is not the property of the latter at all.

Says Oastorllaa Must Quit. The Clark-Nelll process Is known as the Electro Tempering and Toughening Compound, and Mr. Clark, who has pur chased the rights of his former. part ner, Nelll. declares that if Casterline does not at once cease infringement upon his rights he will carry the matter Into the courts. T do not accuse Mr. Casterline of willfully appropriating my discovery to his. own ends," Z. T. Clark said this morning, "but I "hereby warn him. that he must accord to me my rights.
