ST. PAU. Mimi. Nov. 3.-Among the So called
bond Investment" companies scattered
throughout the Western States which have
been doing large and lucrative business are
the Fidelity and Northwestern OF this city. The
United States officials at Washington intend to
inquire into the operation Of this class OF con-
corns and officials OF the Post ONCE Depart
ment will DO here this week or next to begin
the Investigation. They will ascertain II tho
companies are not running in violation Of the
lottery laws, and preliminary to their decision
Postmaster Castle>of this city will not permit
the Fidelity and Northwestern to transact
their business by means Of postal facilities.
The plan OF operation in the case OF ono COM
pany is to Issue bonds OF 500 face value and
sell them for 81 APIECE The buyer. by con.
dition OF the bond. agrees to pay a specified
assessment OF 81 .25 month, ST. OF which goes
into the fund for tho redemption OF bonds.

scheme is similar to that OF n great many fry

Judge s. c. Olmstead. tho secrctary of the
Fidelity Company. He says his company
makes no promises other than at some timo
each bond sold would he redeemed. and it was
entirely for the purchaser to say when and
how much he would pay IN before he received
his money. He might got 1t after having in
four or five dollars. but on the contrary no
m light pay in much more than its face value.
Judge OlmstGad said the business was sim
