Henry Willard.

Seattle, WASH, Oct. 2.-Judge Han
ford to-day refused to accept the res
ignatlon Of the receivers OF the North
ern Pacific and removed them because
Of failure to comply with his order d.
recting them to give an accounting of
their past acts and to answer the
charges of Brayton Ives. Andrew F.
Burleigh was appointed receiver for
the lines in Washington.
In the afternoon Burleigh qualified
by filing a 100000 bond with Gov. John
II. McGraw, with NJ. McDougall, s. l..
Crawford, Jacob Furth, A. b. Stewart,
c. j. Smith. III. C. Henry as sureties.
His order OF appointment was made
also. and other orders were signed, in
cluding orders removing the receivers
and admitting the second and third
mortgage bondholders to become par
ties to the suit. Burleigh left for Port
land, Ore, on the o'clock train. He
announced before leaving that G. W.
Dickinson, assistant general superin-
tendent under the old receivers, would
ment will be followed by applications
along the line. and Burleigh will ap-
pear in the United States court in Port
land tomorrow.
Ives said this afternoon that he
would yet force the receivers to an ac-
counting. In his supplemental afilda-
Wit, Ives fiercely attacks Henry Willard
as railroad wrecker, and scores
Cromwell, who. he says, was employed
to bring about the conditions whereby
collusive appointment by the Mil
waukee court could be made. The af-
fidavit states that a bill In equity was
presented to Judge Jenkins wherein
Gustave Ulbricht. a creature OF VIII
lard. was sole complainant. and de-
scribed himself as owner of bonds and
stock of the Northern Pacific, while.
whatever bonds and stock were in his
possession belonged to Willard. This
bill. after the attorneys had consulted
with the trust company, provided for
the appointment Of Payne. On its be-
| Ing submitted to Oakes. he appealed to
President Rolston Of the Trust COM
pany. who is said to have insisted that
Oakes be made one Of the receivers.
Then follows statement of occur
rences leading up to compromise
whereby Henry C. Rouse was to be
appointed receiver on account Of the
interests represented by Charles l..
Colby and Colgate Hoyt. Thereupon
counsel for the railroad company was
notified by telegraph and the bill
known as the Winston bill was filed.
Further. some days prior to the 14th
of August. 1898, 1t became manifest that
application for the appointment Of re-
ceivers Of the Northern Pacific could
not be much longer deferred, and
thereupon bill In equity was prepared
containing substantially the averments
In the UTRECHT bill. wherein p. B. Wins
ton. who had been procured to be a
company were named as plaintiffs, and
which bill had been sent in charge of
counsel for the railroad to st. Paul.
with the understanding that unless an
agreement could be arrived at the bill

Minnesota, sitting at st. Paul, and the
