remain for the present. In answer 10
query about the sale of the mills, SEN
ator Washburn said: II have little or
nothing to add to what has already
been said by Mr.. PillSbury. The ques-
ton of selling them came up last May
but the sale was not cOnsummated
until about Oct. 80. The facts are just
about as they have been published, eS-
cept that it is a mistake to say that they
were sold to an English syn
dictate, as the stock is about
evenly, divided between holders IN
this country and England. BY the
terms of the sale Gov. PillSbury, Z. A.
PillSbury and myself will have charge
of the mills for the next five years as an
advisory board. but G. A. PillSbury Will
be the active manager in charge and

What do | think will be the effect OF
the sale in Minneapolis" he said, re-
peating the question put to him. wv ny,
have no doubt it will be highly OeDe-
fetal, because it brings in
home capital for investment in other
enterprises. The local capital thus re-
leased belongs to men who have always
shown their faith in Minneapolis by
converting their money in such way
as to extend and build up the city, and
l see no reason why they should not
continue to do So"
Touching the rumOr that his retiring
from the presidency of the 500 road

said: There was nothing in it what

state park. wants his money. At the
meeting of the park board yesterday
Attorney Rockwell, who is the legal
adviser of the board, explained that
when the appraisers made their
estimates Mr.. Henry was award
ed $500. A mistake was made
in making the transcript. and when the
award was approved by the court the
figures had been changed to $4,000.
That amount had been rendered Mr..
Henry. but he refused to accept it, If
he had taken the $1,000 he would have
waived all further claims. Now he has
brought suit for the whole amount,
principal and interest. The attorney
Stated that he didn't think the court
would allow the record to be changed,
and he thought Mr.. Henry would have
to be satisfied with the $4,000. Presi-

A GLOBE reporter who happened to

The reporter explained that such was

was she expected to meet at Washing

''Oh. yes" she responded, absently,

fellow can be: he was to meet me there,

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
$50, 900 Worth of Real Estate In
yolved in a Law Suit.

Judge Rea was engaged yesterday in
hearing an important case involving the
title to fOrty-six acres Of land between
Lake of the Isles and Cedar lake. The
plaintiff is Albert f. JeIlison, aud the
defendant is Thomas Halloran. Char
Iotte NJ. Brown, who owned it, exc
cuted q mortgage on the land In 1870
for S940. She died before it became
due, and Capt. J. e. Whitney
was appointed executor. The mortgage
was foreclosed and the land was bid in
by Rev. A. G. RuliffSon, at that time
Presbyterian missionary, for $1,1S4.97.
1T was never redeemed, and was subse-
ouently conveyed to Halloran for ST.
600. Tellison claims that the fore
closure was invalid. and having OBJ
tanned deeds from the heirs of Mrs.
Brown has brought a suit to recover
possession. The case has been to the
supreme court once. The property is
said to be worth $4,000.
