Something exceptionally great and

Adam Forepaugh shows. There has
never been any dispute u the fact that
Adam Forepaugh's show property has

ing millionaire OF Modesto. is q OF credited
by those who have been interested in the
case in this city.
On July last Detective John Curtin,
who was engaged 10 work upon the case
by the missing mans wife. sent out from
his Office to all parts of the world 6000 cir.
cuiar letters, giving a description of the

was one from Policeman Loso Of Mason

came to hand from the police department

had been found dead in his bed in that

cred as preferred creditors, and that the
wages of the employees will be paid the

returning to Topeka shortly after. He
stated he would in few days go to New
York to meet and confer with the other
two receivers.

agent of the Santa Fe, says the appoint.
ment of receivers will have no effect in
Colorado. Asked if he thought the Eng.
lish stockholders of the Colorado Midland
would demand a separate receiver Coll
bran replied: "Not at all. The case is en-
tirely different. The entire stock Of the
Midland was bought by the Santa Fe and
the English stockholders can do nothing
The only redress they can have is to de-
mand new receivers in case they are dis
satisfied with those appointed by the
courts"
