The four ST. Johnsbury ladies who
left here last Tuesday reached Kings
bury just after the accident. One of
them writes, GAS we approached
Kingsbury the road was lined with
carriages and hundreds and hundreds
of people. We stopped at the station
and the doors were closed, with dying
passengers inside. just below was
the fearful wreck. I wonder single
passenger escaped. I had no idea
that cars could be SO completely de-
molished. We took on three passen-
gers on our sleeper, who we're in the
rear sleeper and entirely uninjured,
although the gentleman broke out the
window and crawled through that"
On Friday, the 22nd inst, w. S.
Streeter of the defunct Northwestern
Guaranty Loan Company was indicted
by the grand jury at Minneapolis, for
grand larceny in the first degree, and
Immediately placed under $4,000
bonds. The Indictment charges Louis
F. Menage and William S. Streeter,
while officers of the Northwestern
Loan Company, with taking funds Of
that company on April 22nd, 1898,
amounting to $163, 1907 .48, and appro-
priating them to their own use.
Despite the plea of Streeter's attor-
ney before the court for small bond,
the bail was fixed at $4,000 and the
accused was turned over to the sher
iff's keeping.
Evidence has been secured showing
til at Streeter received dual salaries
one of $4,000 from the company and
another of the same amount from
Menage personally There is some
prospect that Menage will be extra
dited and brought into court to get the
he deserves.
