times greater than Ohio has been

some degree of reason in the demand

The Board of Trade of Morris met
last Monday evening, at Phoenix hall
to discuss the question. .and pursue the
investigation of the alleged false and
malicious reports sent to the st. Paul
commercial agency of R. G. Dunn &
Co. concerning the standing of Good
& Brisbine, one of our largest business
houses, and of Mr.. L. C. Spooner's
alleged authorship of said reports.
After somewhat protracted session,
during which MT. Spoonsr presented
and read a number of carefully pre-
pared atfidavits controverting all the
points developed in the evidence to
sustain the charge against him, a
resolution was passed dropping the
whole matter. and Mr. Spooner's name
was thus eliminated from the entire
question.
We cannot but regard this particu.
lar line of the investigation as i'll ad-
vised and useless from Its inception.
From the very nature of the case and
its Investigation, it became impossible
to fasten guilt upon any individual by
the production of sufficient legal proof
to supporta conviction; for the whole
scheme of these agencies is based
upon the most inviolable bond of Sc
crecy, so that to divulge the name of
the author of their advices would re-
suit in their downfall. Yet the fact
remains that some malicious person
did falsely report the standing of
Good & Brisbine to the commercial
agency of r. G.. Dunn & co.. which
latter, with the alacrity usual with
concerns Of the kind, scattered the
information received broadcast among
the wholesale business men of st.
Paul and minneapolis, with the effect
of sending a swarm of startled cred
itors by the next train to Morris, to
save, through ediligence," what they
could from the wreck of the tottering
firm. Fortunately, however, for
themselves and their creditors, an
examination Of their books and nc.
counts proved that the firm of Good
& Brisbine was perfectly solvent and
abundantly able to meet all their
matured and prospective liabilities.
and it proved further the falsity and
malice of the reporter.
The Board has labored with this
subject for three weeks-labored, but
in vain.
We cannot too severely condemn
! the action of the sender of these false
reports. however successful he may
be in concealing from the public eye
his identity, and we can only regard
the universal and intense indignation
felt by the business men of the village
as = most righteous one. But the
effect of all this agitation while bring.
! ing forth no immediate results will,
In our opinion, have the salutary
effect Of forcing these sneaks to be
more cautious in the future lest,
being dis. overed. public execration
should dri, them, ,lepor.like, from the
community.
