Paul creditors of A. Nj. Kiehle was in

satisfactory settlement has as yet been
made of Mr.. Kiehle's affairs.
All efforts to trace the relatives of
Gerbhart Watzel, the lumberman who
was recently killed at Eau Claire lakes,
are unavailing. kilograms were yester-

such person was known IN either place.
II. j. Chambers, the retiring Superin-

taken in charge last evening by several
of the foremen of the shops, who eS-
cOrted him to ParlOr b, of the Sawyer,
where he was presented with a silver
water and tea set, soup tureen and cake
basket, eleven pieces in all. The cover
of the tureen bore the inscription: "Pre
scented to III. j. Chambers by the Fore
men of the Minnesota Thresher Manu-
featuring Company Shops" The pres
entation speech was made by l.. Sar-

II. j. Chambers, for many years pur-

East. Mr.. Chambers has had an extern
sive experience with the car company,
and its predecessor, Seymour, Sabin &
Co. Mr.. FOyle, the new manager, being
interviewed last evening, said that Mr..
Chambers retirement was entirely due

Mr.. Chambers as a very capable and
efficient man. The inventories, he said,
were not yet completed, but active
measures would soon be inaugurated.
