The National Life Insurance company of America bought out the National Life and Trust company of Iowa and it is the bonds sold by the last named company which Mr. Nold is trying to collect. His attorneys alleged that the National Life Insurance company of America had no property right in the bonds and had no transactions with the bondholders and Where Merit Still Reigns Supreme The Great GLEASON If the Commercial club can arrange, it, Topeka will have some kind of a special demonstration at the St. Louis exposi that an Injunction could 'not be issued unless a property right was involved. The court said that the plaintiff might have bought the good will of the National Life and Trust company.

The attorneys for the insurance com pany alleged that Mr. Nold had conspired to ruin the company and that If he brought suits against the company for the bondholders and was allowed, to con tinue in the soliciting of suits the com pany might be ruined.

The matter was taken up-at the June meeting of the Commercial "club at Vinewood park last night and was referred to a special committee to be appointed by President W.

On July 2d 3d and 4th tickets will be Judge Pollock in the United States circuit court heard the last of the evidence and the argument In the application for an injunction by the National Life Insurance Company of America against S.

P. Nold ot Seneca, and A. Li Atwood of Topeka. He said that Mr. Atwood was now out of the case and that as Mr.

Nold would not write any more letters to the bondholders of the company an Injunction might not be needed in that respect. Judge Pollock said he was not satis-fled about the cases Mr. Nold had for the bondholders against the company and was not sure that he would allow Mr. Nold to pfrosecute the cases. He said he would give his decision in the matter at a later date.

He said the suits could be brought without Mr. Nold. The main point In the case, far as the Insurance company is concerned, is to have Mr. Nold enjoined from prosecuting the cases. If these cases come to trial It will be an expensive suit for the company and may result in the loss of business.

Wanted Settlement Made. Mr. Nold has bonds from 118 bondholders who have asked him to bring suit against the company for recovery of the amount they put in the bonds or for any satisfactory sum he can get out of the company. The total amount of the bonds he holds is about $13,000. Some of these bonds have lapsed and some are now running.

The company Is anxious to stop the suits and, according to the evidence offered in the court yesterday, an attempt was made to bribe Mr. Nold in order to get a settlement for the bonds. E. W. Leonard Is the man who attempted to fix up the deal.

Judge Pollock said that he believed the insurance company should be willing- to stand the suits, provided they were bunched. This would a multiplicity of suits and would soon nettle the difficulty between the parties. The attorneys for Mr. Nold said that was the manner In which Mr. Nold expected to bring the suits.

The attorneys for the insurance company said sold to all points af rate of one fare plus 50 cents, final limit returning July 6th. A Visit to this Great Exibition is an Actual DROWNEDiT PAXICO.

Judge Pollock aid he did not make it as an order, but simply as a suggestion. Judge Pollock said he did not consider that Mr. Nold had done right in writing to the bondholders soliciting business. It was not professional, even If It was lawful and no lawyer should do It. He also said that he did not think that Mr.

Nold nd Mr. Atwood did the correct thing in getting the list of the bondholders. It was alleged they did this while acting as agents for the insurance company. The attorneys for Mr. Nold said that he had worked for the Insurance company and had sold bonds for it.

They said It was -right that if he found the company was not living up to its contracts or found that bonds were questionable he should tell his friends so and attempt to collect for them the money they had put In the bonds. Wan a Gold Brick Scheme. They said Mr. Nold had not injured the company as much as the insurance commissioners of Iowa and Minnesota who had issued reports against it and that the Chicago and Iowa papers had published articles which accused the company of being In a gold brick scheme.
