AN INTERESTING CASE.
The Failure Of Shotwell, Clerihew
& Lothman Recalled by Shot

The Failure of ShotWell, CleriheW
& Lothman Recalled by Shot
well.
A very interesting suit was placed on
the district court calendar for trial dur
ing the April term yesterday. In addi-
ton to being an unusual case and dis
closes several relIshable facts connected
with the work of the assignee for Shot
well, CleriheW & Lothman. the big
wholesale dry goods house which failed
June 20, 1888. Theodore Shotwell is
the plaintiff, and Albert Ii. Lindeke, OF
ST. Paul, the defendant. The suit is to
recover $S,333.33, with interest from
July z, 1891.
The complaint in the case states the
usual facts concerning the financial en-
barrassment and final assignment and
places the business at about $l,500,00O
per year. When the assignment was
made all three members of the firm
agreed to rake some prominent whole
sale man of Minneapolis assignee. Just
before the assignment, however, Albert
II. Lindeke, of the st. Paul firm of Lin
deke, Warner & Schumacher, came to
the sinking firm. it is claimed, and
asked to be made assignee. He stated
that he would divide the fees he would
receive as assignee equally among
Messrs. Shotwell, Clerihew q Lothman
if they would grant his request. He
also claimed to represent one OF their
largest creditors. The firm agreed to
Indexes proposition. When he com
pleted his duties as assignee on July z,
1891, the court awarded him S25.0O0 for
fees. Lindeke seems TO have failed to
fhn matter
of division, and it is to cover his third
of the S25, 900 that Shotwell brings the
suit.
The complaint does not stop at the
above, but goes on to make charges
against the manner in which the assign
ee settled matters. 1t alleges that his
real object in being appointed assignee
was to prevent the re-establishment OF
the business here, as it competed with
his house-LiDdekes, Warner & Schur-
meier. Through his position as as
signee, the complaint further states,
Lindeke sold the stock of the sunken
firm to his own firm, through William
Lindeke, for 1914, 046.0S, which he does
not consider is fair price. The cred
itors seem to agree with Shotwell, as
they have already appealed to the SUI
preme court from the order allowing
the aSsignee's final account.
Marcus p. Hayne is ShotwelPs attor-
ney. When asked concerning the case
yesterday, he stated that he had moth:
ing to say in addition to what was said
in the complaint. 1t is understood, how
ever. that Shotwell claims that A. M
Clerihew, w. Lothman and the credit
man of S. Julard, of New York, heard
Lindel1e make the agreement concern
ing the division of his fees. These gen
tlemen, it is understood, will be the
principal witnesses in the case. Cleri-
hew and Lothman are both in the EN-.
ploy of I.indekes, Warner 81 Schur-
| meier at the present time.

SPRING POINTERS.

A man to successfully run farm
should have som esort of qualification
for the business, as we'll as in the case
of any other business. A man with a
love for fine animals has one qualifca-
ton for successful farming, and man
who loves rural life better than town
life has another. The art of creating
fine landscape is greater than the art of
painting one. Good farming creates
good landscapes.

Bowen,s Hard Iuck.

j. N. Bowen, butcher at 614 Henne-
pin avenue, is having more trouble than
is usually allotted to human kind. In
the first place, Dayton l.. Cooley, one of
his hired men, who divided his time be-
tween throwing liver at customers and
collecting bills, has disappeared and
taken with him some of Mr.. Bowen's
money. Cooley left the city Wednesday
night and Bowen is disconsoate.
The trouble did not end there, for on
the same night that Cooley disappeared
BoWen's place was burglariZed. The
burglars climbed the transom over the
front door and carried off lot of meat
and considerable cash.

Attorney or Collector ?

A very interesting case is on trial be-
fore Judge Elliot in the civil branch OF
the municipal court. 1t is that of W.
H. Finn vs.. C. A. Daily, and the result
of the case will in measure have a
bearing on what constitutes lawyers
fee for collecting. Z. A. Daily collected
$1,OS4 for Finn, and charged $21S.S0 of
the amount as his fees. Finn claims
that this is exorbitant, and sues for
the same amount. The whole thing
depends upon whether an attorney,
who acts as collector and not an at
torney. can collect the fees the latter is
entitled TO.

was closing his place up late Wednes-

Olson on the head with a sand bag and
fired shot from revolver at him. The
bullet took effect in the floor. where
Olson lay, just grazing his leg. The
robbers became frightened at some
thing and ran away without securing
any money.

Danger.
Grippe. in itself, is bad enough, facilitating
enough, but it is the after effects, the slow
ness of recovery, that give it its great danger.
In most cases, the person did not haye suffi-
cient vitality to rally after the disease itself
had passed. The forces of nature were too
weak TO contend with the debility which the
Grippe had left.
1t IS sad to think bow many people have
died who might have been saved if nature
had been properly assisted and fortified after
the Grippe had been driven from the system.
Many physicians realized this fact, and as
sisted their patients over the dangerous after
effects by bracing up and stimulating their
systems. This was. and can be done in but
one way, and that is by the steady and mod
crate use of some pure yet powerful stimu-
liant. There is but one absolutely pure and
medicinal stimulant known to the profession
and to the public, and that is Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey. The most prominent scien-

The Transfer Ordinance.

The new transfer ordinance is now in
the hands OF the council committee on
ordinances. 1t is expected that the
street railway company will make the
hardest kind of fight against the ordl-
nance, but the friends of the measure
say it must be passed. Its discussion
will give the public good idea of who
the friends OF the street railway COM
pany are. Stripped of its legal verbage,
the ordinance means that the street rail-
way company must give transfers at all
points of intersection on its lines, and
that the transfers must be given re-

used on parallel lines.

It's true economy to buy good quality

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

The old members of the Cleveland
club unkindly suggest that it is not IN.
good taste for Matt Gallagher to allow
himself to be quoted as saying that the
Cleveland club amounts to nothing, that
it cut little figure i'll the campaign of
last year, and that it will cut less of
figure in the coming campaign. These
men say that Matt shows bad taste in
talking this way, since he is member
of the club. He was as anxious as
any one to be admitted to membership.
1t IS said to look as if he was
sore because he was defeated on his
amendment. 1t is well known that
there are as good Democrats in TIE
Cleveland club as can be found any
where iE Minneapolis. 1t is also some
thing new for politician to object to
recruits for the party, even if they do
come from the ranks of the single tax
theorists and the Prohibitionists. Mr..
Gallagher made another remark to an
evening paper reporter that is thought
to be in bad taste, coming from him.
Bernard Cloutier is not Democrat to
be sneered at.
Frank H0skins, of Henning, was in
Minneapolis yesterday. MIR. Hoskins is
the editor of the Advocate, the organ of
Senator John HOmpe. Senator Hompe,
as is we'll known, is just now making
fight on the Sage of Nininger. Mr..
HoSkins says that the senator is fight
er from away back of the forest and
that he will wipe the earth so completely
with the discoverer of the cryptogram
that the SUI face of this planet will look
as clean as the newly sanded floor of
Dutch housewife.
The Democratic club of the Eighth
ward will hold mass meeting tonight.
The meeting will be held in McCul-
luugh's hall, Ill East Twenty-sixth
street. The speaker of the evening will
be ID. W. Lawler, of st. Paul. Any one
who has ever heard Mr.. Lawler speak
knows that he can make an interesting
address. The club will have good
musical programme to brighten UP the
evening.
Secretary c. A. Moody and State Or
gauiZer j. ID. KynaStOn, of the North
Star association, were seen yesterday
occupying two of the most comfortable
seats in the rotunda of the Nicollet. The

very sore since that little affair of last
