Day and Reports Collections
Good.

In reference TO an article in a morning
paper yesterday purporting to give an
account OF o meeting of the Minnesota
Thresher company stockholders in
Boston on Monday, and intended to cast
disGredit upon the man .gement and
affairs Of the company, Manager Fogle
said yesterday that, as the article did
not appear i'll the form of a telegram,
and. since it bore we'll known ear-marks.
its publication was characteristic of
that paper. The latter is evidently,
with its usual friendliness (?) to S i'll
water. trying to annoy and, if possible,
discredit the thresher company, the
leading industry of the city.
Mr.. FOgle exhibited 10 the GLOBE
reporter several Boston dispatches
of yesterday from A. d. S. Bell, presi-
dent of the company, saying that the
annual meeting in Boston. Monday, was
very satisfactory, and exhibited entire
unanimity except among a small min
GRITTY who have continually been in OPP
position, and have worked at all times
to bring about the liquidation of the
company: also that at this meeting ar
engagements were made Tor placing the
balance of the stock at most satisfactory
hgures, thereby putting the concern III
ample funds for doing business Oh as
large scale as ever before. Manager
Fogle added: "The concern is now
working $50 men, and is turning out,
complete, four threShers, and two ell
gines per day, and will continue to do
business at the old stand, few sore
headed, disappointed wreckers to the
contrary Notwithstanding. 1t is a sin
gular coincidence that this statement,
published in the st. Paul paper, comes
from an unexplained source, is not even
an Associated Press dispatch, ana that
no other papers or parties interested
should bave had the information" Out
side the thresher company's offices it is
stated ON good authority, and as an evil
dence of the large amount of business
being done, that the c0mpany'S Novem-
Der collections were $250,000, and for the
following month $150,000.
The memorandum of Judge MeCluer,
accompanying his order appointing FL
more Lowell receiver of the Sawyer
house property, discusses in detail the
reasons for the action of the court,
which action seems to be based gen
orally upon the theory that it was nee
esSary for the court to take possession
of the property jn order to preserve the
same from greater depreciation, and for
the benefit of all parties interested. the
depreciation being of such character
as would render the defendants respon-
sible therefor.
