NEW PHASE OF CASE HELENA POWER AND LIGHT CO. IN FORECLOSURE SUIT. MINORITY BONDHOLDERS' PLEA Want Federal Court to Allow Them to Intervene in a Suit of Central Trust Company-Property May Be Sold. Helena Record: The minority bondholders of the Helena Power & Light company now ask the federal court to allow them to intervene in the suit of the Central Trust company of New York for the foreclosure of the mortgage on the property, under which suit Henry L. Walker was appointed receiver. It looks now as if the sale of the property of the company would not be a mere matter of form, as is usually the case in such suits. This new phase of the case came in a petition filed with Judge Hiram Knowles by W. A. Clark, Eugene T. Wilson, receiver of the First National bank of Helena, and A. J. Davis, president of the First National Bank of Butte, asking the privilege of intervention. William Wallace, Jr., and Root & Clark appear as attorneys for the petitioners. who are holders of one-fourth of the bonds. The petitioners allege that, in its complaint, the Central Trust company asks that the right of redemption be not granted; therefore, the petitioners ask the court to allow them to intervene to protect their right of redemption. The petitioners also declare that H. G. McInţire, the attorney who brought suit, was retained as an attorney of the Central Trust company, and that H. S. Hepner, who consented to the appointment of a receiver, was never regularly employed as attorney by the Helena Power & Light company. Then comes the allegation of the petitioners that Thomas A. Marlow, president of the Power & Light company, and H. M. Parchen, vice president, are connected with an organization formed for the purpose of buying in the property at the sale; they also declare that Harry L. Walker, the receiver, is a brother of a brother-in-law of H. M. Parchen. The petitioners further recite that the earnings of the Helena Power & Light company for last year, and so far this year, show that the company is not in debt except for its bonds, and that it is now making some money over expenses.
