LesN 34 posts Jan 24, 2006 7:36 PM	The only mention of Luther McKENZIE I found in my transcriptions of the Tornado was as one of 50+ defendants in a lawsuit about well royalties: November 12, 1887 Attorney O.F. WOODRUFF, of Morrison, was in Chicago last week and began fifty-two suits in the United States Court against as many defendants---principally residents of Prophetstown, Portland, and Fulton townships, this county, who refused to pay the "drive-well" royalty demanded by the agent a few weeks ago; in all the cases but one $2,000 damages are claimed, the one being $4,000. Each suit is brought in the name of William D. ANDERSON & Bros. representing the patentee. The following is the list of defendants: Andrew FERRIS George CARPENTER Geo. HITCHCOCK Orrin T. ALLEN Richard THOMPSON George DERBY Jabez WARNER Frank HADWAY George FALTER Daniel LEASHE Ed S.
