look after the boy, and waxing warmer

New YORK, Referring to dispatch
from st. Paul to the effect that Geo. B.
Hulme, recently appointed receiver of the
Yellowstone Park improvement COM
pany by Wyoming court, did not believe
that the New Jersey receivership would

New Jersey, and the proceedings of the
appointment of receiver took place in a
United States district court in that state,
SO he did not believe the action taken is
improper. He does not consider that
Mr.. Hulme is in position to express an
opinion as to the Indebtedness of the
company. Mr.. Hulme's friends have con-
tributed, all told, $4,000 to the treasury
of the company, and it looks very much
as if that were the side that was trying
to gobble everything. Mr.. Hatch does
not think the second receiver will have
much chance to get control of the prop.
