AGENT CORSE'S ALLEGED SHORTAGE. The Exchange Agent of the Douglas Alliance Makes Statement Re- garding the Charges Published Against Him. About ten days ago reports were rather widely circulated that L. Corse, who had been employed as agent of the Douglas county alliance to sell produce of the members, was short in his accounts. At a meeting of the alliance last week, as reported in the last issue of THE GAZETTE, Mr.

Corse was exonerated from any blame. We understand that some parties, who lost money through the failure of a Denver commission firm to whom their produce had been consigned by Mr. Corse, feel that they 'have not been fairly treated. We have not been able to obtain any detailed statement of this side of the case, and possibly the matter has been explained satisfactorily to them. The question of liability is one more for judicial determination than for newspaper opinion, so it is not our province to try the case.

If any one has been badly treated we will 1 be glad to give room for his statement. Mr. Corse's explanation was directed to the editor of the Journal and is as follows: In your issue of the 5th inst you publish an article under the title of Who is Responsible, that does me a great injustice. As to the article I desire to say that so far as I am concerned, there is no shortage. I have accounted for and turned over every dollar received That you may be more fully informed about the matter I will give you a brief outline of the business transacted.

During a greater portion of the time since the middle of June, I have been employed as county agent of the alliance for the purpose of purchasing supplies, keeping posted as to the best markets for the products of the the farm, and selling or shipping the same as agent for the members as requested, and while we had no capital invested and did no buying for the alliance a as a whole or on my own individual account, yet with the assistance of members quite an extensive business was done. We shipped and sold several cars of wheat, corn and oats, a large number of cars of apples; also several cars of potatoes, besides shipping in less than car lots, berries, cherries, apples. grapes, tomatoes, peas and beans, the business amounting to several thousand dollars. The persons shipping realizing in most instances quite an advance above the local market prices here, as any business man will tell you. The business was successfully handled, the goods were all paid 1or and every dollar received, promptly turned over to the proper parties, as each individual shipper will testify, and up to the present time, the only goods not paid for is two cars of sweet potatoes shipped to H.

C. Merriam Denver, Colo. In October, at the request of certain members of the order, and not at my solicitation, I shipped for them four cars of sweet potatoes to the above named firm to be sold on commission. The two first cars received by them were sold, the statement of sales "and checks sent me and by me turned over. One car to Bro.

H. B. Ross and the proceeds of the other car to Bro. Frank Nelson. The two last care, the commission firm claim arrived in bad condition and rotted so badly that their customers in many instances refused to pay for them, and these claims had to be compromised, and before they reported ou these two cars, owing to the tightness of the money market, the bank sued the firm and attached everything they owned.

In reference to the firm desire to state I had dealt with them all the season and had the most intense contidence in their honesty and financial standing. Bros. S. M. Green, Enis Reed, Holcomb, Hosteter, Joseph Vitt, A.

C. Walters and others shipping to this firm through me and all receiving prompt pay. Brother Green shipping about two thousand dollars worth of fruit and vegetables to them alone. This firm was well reported and in Denver considered perfectly responsible so far as I could learn, and I still believe their's an honest failure. I am informed that the same time they failed fourteen other firms failed in Denver.

Now while I deeply regret this failure it is one of those thing that cant be guarded against and neither myself nor the alliance are in any way to blame for this failure as you can readily see. The firm still with me will settle for the but should it prove a total loss potatoes (not shortage) the loss would not exceed from three hundred to five hundred dollars instead of a shortage of $3,000 as you state. Since your article was published, Bro. Frank Nolson who shipped one of the cars unpaid for has given me a written statement. "Stating that I had conducted the business in an honorable and business like manner, also Bro.

Ross and others so far as seen who own the other cars have made like statements. Also the county alliance at its January meeting unusually accepted the following resolutions towit. "WHEREAS. We, the county alliance of Douglas county have listened to the statements of L. H.

Corse, and those who shipped through him, in reference to the article published in the JOURNAL. Therefore be it resolved that we have full con fidence in the integrity of Bro. Corse. And be it further resolved that we request the JOURNAL and other papers to publish the statement of Brother THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1891. AND COUNTY NEWS.
