Our present analysis Of the situa-
tion is that the Stew artville route
parallels the orthwestcrn too far;
that the bluffs Between Spring VAL

road on that line; ana that the Lime

The Eureka Improvement
Company Forced to Make
An Assignment.
The Failure to Get a Route
Through St. Paul Given as
the Cause.
Nearly a Million Of Money o,
Shareholders Scattered
to the Winds.
Creditors Will Lose Nothing,
as the Paper Is Secured
by Good Land.

The Eureka Improvement company,
with Office IN the German-American
Bank building. and chiefly operating
and dealing in lands and electric motor
enterprises in South st. Paul, made an
assignment to its former president,
Thomas 7. Smith, of Dakota county,
yesterday afternoon pursuant to
an attachment suit brought by
Fowble & Fitz, surveyors. There
was very little surprise at this as
signment, which carries to the winds
about 100000 in money and property
belonging to dozen prominent real es-
tate dealers, merchants and private cap
italists of this city. 1t has long since
been expected, and when the crisis ar
rived, real estate circles were we'll pre-
pared to meet it. j. w. Imeson, Of
West st. Paul, is the president, and F.
L. Prudhomme the secretary. The COM
pany, it will be remembered, was organ
lied about two years ago, to
trio motor with termini at
pany fought for long time with the
city council! to secure franchise for its
proposed elevated road, an expert.
mental mile of which it had already
built at South Park at a cost of $5O, 900.
After much dickering between the city
and the company. the council offered to
grant franchise to the company, with
the privilege of right of way TO the
west bank of the river, but further than
that the council failed to grant. The
company failed to secure the route
through the city, and after hav.
ing already purchased large and
valuable tracts of land in Dakota county
along its proposed line of transit, the
concern was forced to care tor and MAIN
tain its great property holding. The
market declining and the concern thus
crippled, the little less than half mill
ion dollars put into the undertaking by
well known men Of this city, was fast
being absorbed by the mortgages upon
the vast acreage purchased in Da-
kota county. One foreclosure fol-
lowed another until the pressure
eliminated in the assignment.
While the stockholders will
lose nearly half a million, the creditors
will lose nothing save a. few paltry
thousand dollars. The Indebtedness,
which is about S7OO.OO0. is all, or nearly
all, secured by first mortgages upon
property paid for from third to half
of the purchase price. Some of the en-
numbered property lies on the West
side fiat, and is considered some of the
most marketable property in the city.
The other paper is principally upon
farms in Dakota county, extending
from South Park to Mendoza.

Contractor Foley Explains the
Strike at Cl0quet.

0tElAO 81 OAOAuVVs
Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Dak.. June 26.-GeOrge Foley,
contractor of this city, arrived here to
day and says the circumstance attend
ing the strike of workmen employed by
him on the Duluth & Winnipeg road
Cloquet are greatly exaggerated in the
reports from that point published
in yesterdays and tO-night's GLOBE.
Only portion of the men struck, and
the only reason assigned by them was
that they objected to working long
hours. In explanation of this Mr.. Foley
says that, in order to push the work, he
voluntarily agreed to pay the men $1.50
per day for ten and e-half hours work.
which is 25 cents more than is paid on
any other road in that vicinity for ten
hours work. That by some means the
wOrkmen got some whisky into camp
on Sunday night, and when the fore
man called. "All aboard' on Monday
morning about forty Of the men refused
that theyIobjected to theilong hours, and
asked Contractor Foley when he could
give them their time. He replied as
soon as their accounts could be made
up. This seemed entirely salts
factory, and they started for ClOquet.
Mr.. Foley followed. passing them on
the way and no unfriendly spirit was
apparent. In Cloquet the men con-
tinued drinking, and while Mr.. Foley
was balancing their accounts. with the
assistance OF Attorney Woodward,
the men made an unseemly dis
turbance in the town. Mr.. Foley
further says that they were very
rough crowd of strikers, but
he did not hear single word about
lynching or'anything Of the kind, and
that the above are the true facts. and,
as Attorney Woodward remarked, ''it
was the quickest termination of strike
he ever heard Of" 1t is well known
that on all public work there is a
regular pay day each month, to which
the mems time is computed and tits the
custom to give men quitting time
checks for the amount due, payable on
pay day. Mr.. Foley telegraphed to
Fargo for the money and the bank here
wires the bank at Cloquet to honor
his check for the amount required,
which was promptly done. Mr.. Foley
says the report that he is about to lose
his contract because of the strike is ab-
surd. Whisky was at the bottom of the
tronble. and the places of the strikers
have been filled and the work is now
going on as usual.

had improved SO much that his wife,
who had gone there to nurse him, had
returned to her home. Being notified
of his death, she went after the body,
but was not permitted to see it, the re-
port being started that he died of small
pox. She claims that directly after her
arrival parties there fired the building
/ Ia which johnson died and that
itS. was burned, body and all.
There is difference of opinion as to
( Jehns0n's disease and much excitement

I Other reports state that johnson died
Of smallpox: that about fifty people
we're exposed, and, Spirit Lake being
summer resort of some note, the burn
ing OF the body of the dead man was re-
sorted to in order to keep the nature of
his disease away from the public so that
visits of pleasure-seekers to thel lakes
would not be interrupted. DIR. Ken

health, has gone to Spirit Lake.
