DAKOTA BUSINESS TROUBLES.

Goods secreted by n B~ridsewater
Bankrupt-Vhe Mitchell Failure.
Mitchell, Dec. 1S-Sensationai devel-
opments We're made to-day in the failure
of Joseph L. Mckee, who made an as-
slgnment under mortgage in October last
at Bridgewater, near here. 1t will be
remembered that Marshall, Field & Go.
and other firms Of Chicago placed at
tachments on the stock and attempted
to replevin part of 1t on the ground of
fraud. 1t was then believed that part Of
the stock had been secreted, but the
energetic efforts of the lawyers of the
creditors could discover nothing, Yes
terday a pointer was received as to the
whereabouts of the goods, and Mr..
L. b. Meter, a lawyer of th1s city.
went to ~Bridgewater to make q search,
Mckee lived in the rear of his store.
Over the residence portion OF the build
ing was a small attic or space under the
~rafters with which there was no com
munlcation. The plastering on the cell
ing was broken away by the sheriff and
IN the space there vas found oyer $4,000
worth of new goods. They had been
placed in this attic through a hole cut
IN the ceiling for that purpose, which
was replastered and kalsomined. The
claims against McKee's stock by Dill
lon q Preston and Winsor & Meter, of
this city, aggregate about $1,000, divided
up among Chicago, st. Paul and Sioux
City creditors. McKee's clerk is now in
Chicago buying a stock of goods.
Mitchell, Dec. lS-Claims against
Shaner, the Chicago clothing house
man, still continue to come in, and now
aggregate $4,000. Einstein & Co., of
Chicago, placed one of 1915 and Green
fielder, Rosenthal & Co., of Chicago, an
other for 1895 to-day. An attorney
from Sioux Falls came here to-day and
placed one of $4,000 on the stocks from
Leopold Bros, of Chicago. Attachments
were also placed to-day on the Diana
branch of the store, which was placed
in the sheriffs hands. The stock was
purchased in August last on Five
months time and has been gradually
sold out. What remains will sell now at
forced sale for about $1,000. There are
said to be claims aggregating $4,000
against the firm.

competent and disinterested persons,
two OF whom shall be selected by the
postmaster general of the United States;

two this morning in regard to the
miners. The latest official message re.
ceived was that the rescning party, work.
ing on the gaugway IRON the air shaft
had reached the first chamber, in which
1T was hoped some of the men would be
found. The air was good, apparently
bnt no signs of any living person was
found.
There are six other chambers. along the
gangway and 1T is thought the men may
be found in n of them. A new gang
of sixty men went into the mine at sil
this morning and pushing forward witt
the utmost exertion, but it is hard &c
say when the next chamber can be reach.
ed. 1t is now fully believed that the
missing men were caught IN the sand
and culm at the time the cave took
place and are now dead.
The last messenger connected with
the exploring party came out of the slope
at l1:20. He reports that no man had
IS yet been found, and all hope of ever
seeing their comrades alive again has
been abandoned. They are making Wig
orous search, but it appears almost GER
tain that the unfortunate men have per.
ished and when found will be under the
mass of sand.
At 1:3O p. m. this afternoon the relief
party was still pushing toward the I'M.
prisoned men, who had been spurred on
by a slgnul they received which indicat.
ted there was life beyond. Tapping upon
the iron air pipe was heard by the
and they naturally concluded
that there is good groun Is OF
hope at least that some of the men may
be rescued alive. 1t is the opinion oi
some of the best miners that they can,
not reach the men for some days owing
to the extent of the Instructions
Others are sanguine enough to expect
they will reach the men within the mex
ten houre.
