  Item 5.  Other events
  
  
  On Tuesday, February 17, 2004, Vulcan International Corporation, through
  two of its subsidiaries, Vulcan Corporation and Vulcan Bowling Pin Company
  (collectively referred to as "Vulcan") filed a formal complaint against
  Brunswick Corporation and two of its subsidiaries (collectively referred
  to as "Brunswick") in the Court of Common Pleas in Hamilton County, Ohio.
  The complaint seeks judgment to enforce the terms of a "buy-sell" offer
  for $2,000,000, compensatory damages of $10,000,000 and punitive damages
  of $40,000,000.  In addition, Vulcan is seeking a judgment declaring that
  it has no obligation to purchase bowling pins from Brunswick and that it
  may purchase such bowling pins for resale from any source whatsoever.
  
  Vulcan and Brunswick had formed a partnership in 1990 for the purpose
  of producing bowling pins.  Under the terms of their agreement, and
  more specifically a "buy-sell" provision included in the agreement,
  Brunswick had offered to purchase and Vulcan had agreed to sell,
  Vulcan's interest in the partnership for $2,000,000.  Subsequently,
  Brunswick refused to purchase Vulcan's interest for the agreed-upon
  price unless Vulcan agreed to indemnify Brunswick for any claims which
  might be made against Brunswick in the future and to provide Brunswick
  with unspecified representations and warranties.
