ures. At the Office of the company in this
city nothing could be learned as to the
assets and liabilities. Those famil-
lar with the business say the firm
was caught by serious drop in the
market and has been unable to meet all the
contracts. The firm was not incorporated.
and Richard Everett and Henry Post are
said to be the only ones interested or finan-
cially responsible. Post, the resident
member of the firm, said the liabilities of
the firm will not be large, as they only did
a commission business. The liabilities are
estimated to be $4,000. A schedule filed
in the recorders office today shows assets
of S57,995, made up chiefly of lead
and smelter on hand and stock in the
Boynton-Strong Company, and liabilities of
$l13,745. The heaviest creditors are the
Creston Commission Company, of Chi
cago; the Chicago National bank; the
Fourth National bank, of st. Louis, and
Washburn q Co., of Worcester, Mass.
One of the firms creditors says the
assignment was unnecessary and against
the wishes of the creditors: also that the
firm will soon resume business.

SPOKANE, Jan. 23.-[Special. There Is
no longer any doubt in the minds of any,
body here as to the identity of the woman
who gave birth to the baby, Ida Glyndon,
on the West-bound train on Monday
morning, and who, when brought to hos
pital in this city, gave her name as Mrs.
c. e. Brant and said her husband was q
Seattle carpenter. 1t is now known almost
to a certainty that Mrs. Brant and
Mary Kelly, of San Francisco, whose stage
name is Theresa Ellsworth, and who was
recently pupil of Actor Daniel e. Band
mann on his ranch near Missoula. Mont,
are one and the same. Ii. o. Collins, q
representative of the Missoula Gazette,
who knows Miss Kelly well, has been in
the city for two days. having been sent
here to establish Mrs. Brants identity.
Collins called at the hospital last night,
but was refused admittance to Mrs. Brant's
presence. Today he called again, accom-
panied by the chief of police, but both
were refused permission to see her, the
sister superior saying that no one would
be allowed to see her under any circum-
stances except her parents. should they
come. Collins asked to even be allowed to
get glimpse of her through the keyhole,
but this, too, was refused.
1t is needless to add that "Mrs.
Brant's husband" at Seattle, who
was telegraphed for nearly a
week ago, has not been heard from. The
next day after Mrs. Brants arrival a re-
porter of a local paper called on her and
was accorded an interview. She denied
that she was Miss Kelly, but since then no
one has been allowed to get glimpse of
her. The reporter described Mrs. Brant
to Collins tonight. and Collins says the de-
scription fits Miss Kelly exactly.
