1t has been knowp for some time past that suit
was pending for the foreclosure of trust deed on
the whole property and franchises Of the company,
given to'secur one hundred thousand dollars Of
borrowed money with which its piers, dams and nas7
provements were constructed. That suit culninat-
ed IN decree of foreclosure and sale, which
was signed by Hon. j. II. McKelvy at ST. Cloud
on Friday, April 4th.
The total amount adjudged to be due was one
hundred and ffty-nine thousand, three hundred and
sixty>ene and Is 100 dollars (s159, ,36115), and
the property is ordered to be sold for cash satisfy
this large judgment. The decree was taken by
Williams Davidson attorneys For Greenleaf Clark,
trustee and Col. j. Fl. Davidson who presented the
papers before Judge McKevy, at once brought the
decree here and filed it with the clerk of the court
We learn that the sale will take place soon, and wilf
be for cash to- the highest bidder.
We understand that it is not the expectation that
the property will sell for very high figure, and
there no probability that it will ever be redeemed,
SO that the purchaser will doubtless get the property
and perfect title within one year after the sale.

THE cAD EFFECTS.

The female walking craze is likely
to come to grief. The New York pa
psrs give sad reports Of the results
One woman is bopslessly crippled for
Life. Another has been at the point
Of death but is recovering. Others
are suffering With blisters on their
feet, cruel distortions Of their joints
and racking pains in every part Of
their bodies. A few who could walk
and sleep and snore as they walked
and Others who could walk as long as
they could eat if they only get
enough to eat, have won the prizes
and come out in very fair condition
Many of them we're the mere dupes
Of spectators. gamblers and fancy
sporting men, who pocketed the pro
fits of the cruel sport. But tho de-
moralizing mania has ceased to b'
profitable which will Of course bring
it TO an end.

found to contain arsenic in dangerous
