DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.

A final accounting has been made in
the Wakefield estate. the former guar
dian of the minor children,A. J. Condit.
having been replaced by E. S. Corser.
The estate is shown to be worth $4,000.
Leo Heilpern is still in Jail, no one
having appeared willing to risk $1,000
that he will appear at his trial if set at
liberty. He does not seem especially
respondent, and takes his ill-luck with
the best of grace. His wife has not
been to see him since Saturday, and, as
he refuses to talk concerning his affair,
the public will probably be none the
wiser until the trial comes off.
Francis McCauley has commenced an
action against E. w. Storer to collect

CHICAGO. Jan. 13.-President John
NJ. Egan. of the Chicago, st. Paul &
Kansas City road, and a number of
other railway officials whose headquar-
tiers are in st. Paul, were in the city to-
day. 1t developed OH inquiry that the
federal grand jury at st. Paul, Oh COM
plant of the special agent of the inter
state commerce commission, has begun
an investigation into alleged violations
of the interstate commerce law. Charges
are made against number of roads.
Extra efforts are to be made 10 aScer-
tain just how many tickets were sold by
the Chicago, st, Paul & Kansas City to
Charles Petsch, and to find out whether
such sale was legal. President Egan
admits that 1000 Of these tickets were
sold by his company, but contends that
a better price was received for them
than other roads were getting for
tickets sold over their own counters,
the wholesale purchase having been
made when rates between st. Paul and
Chicago were abnOrmally low. Chair
man Finley and Secretary Thompson,
OF Il6 w tSl6IH doStllSSl dooOSIdtlOns
have been summoned to appear before
the grand jury and tell what they know
about this and other cases that are be-
ing investigated. Among the charges
is one against the Minneapolis st.
Louis road for making contract with
A. E. johnson & Co., steamship agents,
for the carrying of emigrant business at
cut rates. 1t is understood that the
Chicago q Northwestern, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul. the Wisconsin
Central and the Burlington will be
called upon to answer charges of dis
elimination, and that number of mer-
chants and shippers who are supposed
to have been receiving rebates or sim
liar concessions from certain roads will
be put On the rack.
