in the employ of the Eastern, ordered him to
desist On his refusing to do so, Greeley seiz-

The Manitoba Kidnapping Affair.


MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 29-The follow
special dispatch was received tonight, dated
Fort Gary:
The public feeling is so shocked in the Cor
don case. that two of the most prominent citi-
zens of Manitoba became bail for Merriam to-
day, namely, Hon. James Mckay, President
of the Legislative Council. from whose resi-
dence Gordon was taken by Hay and KergaE,
and Andrew McDermott, the Manitoba direc-
tor of the Canada Pacific Railroad and the old
est and wealthiest merchant of the country.
MI Clark was astounded when these names
were presented.
Merriam was at liberty only few minutes
when he was arrested at the suit of McKen-
zie the late partner of Clark, who was the
only English barrister Gordou had not retain
ed and was therefore reluctantly engaged by
Consul Taylor. He exacted a fee of $500,
which was supposed to be excessive, but he
now brings suit fol $50 per day, or an ad-
ditional sum of $3.50. This demand was re
sisted; hence suit, and the arrest of Merriam.
Bail was promptly given.
When Fletcher and Merriam were arrested
$4,000 in money and valuables were taken
from them, which Eugene Wilson under a
power of attorney has endeavored to recover.
He obtained an order of the court for the
money, but the clerk neglected or refused to
disgorge.
Wilson and Merriam expect to leave to-mor-
row but there may be number of civil suits to
answer.
