Alta CHMENT AGAINST WALKER
He Employed a ''ScaIper' in the Interstate
Commerce Service.


CHICAGO. July Am attachment re-
turnable forthwith, was issued by Judge
Mcconnell today against Chairman Walk
er, of the interstate commerce railway as
ISOLATION. 1t grows out OF the fight OF the
well-known ticket sea per, E. A. Milford,
against the American ticket brokers asso-
citation, which dropped him from member
ship. He began mandamus proceedings
in Louisville some time ago to be- reinstated
and also began several damage suits. This
brought out an interesting story to the
effect that soon after the Interstate law
went into effect. milford closed out his
scalping bushes in Chicago, saying there
was no money in it. Afterwards, it is
stated, he was employed by the Interstate
commerce railway association, presumably
on account Of his intimate acquaintance
with the seal ping business to aid
the railroads in stamping it out
1t is asserted he was to receive $4,000 a
year, but he struck out for the chairman
ship of one of the minor organizations in
the place of being merely head Of the
secret bureau. Not being able to gain
this he quit the association and went back
to the seal ping, but the ticket brokers had
in the meantime thrown him out. The
Louisville court directed a notary here to
take deposition of Chairman Walker
That gentleman refused to answer the
summons. however. hence the attachment
HeIS not in the city at present.

their well assorted stock of general mer-

thereto are on much larger scale than

goods, ribbons, Iaces, &c, artistically

of the stacks of ready made clothing,

They were all purchased on specially
