Ely Socially.

Several social events are on tap for
the coming holidays This evening
the Finn contingent give a grand
ball at the Temperance hall. To-
morrow evening there will be dance
party for a list of invited guests at
the Turf hall, given by the club.
The Ely Dancing club will in all
probability sandwich in another
dance party between now and Christ
mas. Christmas, Mrs. Aubolee and
class, will give the cantata entitled
1.-The Birth of Christ" at the Opera
house. The list includes about fifty
in the choruses and various parts and
promises to be a musical event Of no
mean Importance. New Years the
City band will render one of their
popular musical entertainments to
conclude with very laughable farce.
The band boys are recognized as royal
entertainers and will give the citizens
several hours of choice amusement.
Thus it can be seen that Ely is not
dead socially, or otherwise, as a solid
month of amusement is on tap.

ing the affair:
1T is all wrong. We do not belong
to any band of swindlers and we did
not get any goods we did not
intend to pay for. We have been
in business at Ely three years and
have suffered losses such as all busi-
ness men have been subject to during
these hard years. We are not
strangers, or irresponsible men, for
both of us are married, our wives be-
ing on visit to st. Paul now. 1 am

of this city.
You can state in your paper" he
added impatiently as he fell back
upon his couch, that we are both hard
working men. We came to country
when boys and have worked for years
as peddlers, saving our money for the
purpose OF engaging in business. We
are not very old now, only thirty, and
when we opened our store at Ely
three years ago it was the first time
we were ever in business as merchants.
That's all. Good night"
Some ugly rumors are af1oat regard
ing the doings of the firm, which we
are not prepared to comment ON. 1t
is said that the firm purchased in the
neighbOrhood of $4,000 worth of
goods from the firms mentioned to
open their branch at Virginia. After
running a few weeks at Virginia, it
was found to be losing investment
the goods were shipped to head
quarters in this city. Rumor has it
that the goods never arrived here
but were spirited away to Wisconsin
and Michigan. This the firms from
whom the goods were purchased,
ascertained and an Investigation was
made with the result that Kaufman
s. Yezner were placed under arrest.
The stock of goods in the store In
this city, if sold. so competent au-
thority states, at marked value, would
not net the creditors over 20 cents on
the dollar.
Mr.. Geiss is now in charge of the
business here, and does not as yet
know what disposition will be made
of the goods. Kaufman and Yezner
will have hearing on the 49, They
are at present out on bail, 81 600 each
having been furnished by them.

The attorney who appears for the
state, John c. Judge. of Minneapolis,

which case the land was awarded to

Change in Time.

The winter time card on the D. <
I. R., went into effect Sunday. The
change in the passenger train time is
very little, the evening train arriving
here 10 minutes later than formerly,
or at p. m. The change in the local
freight is radical. North bound, it
will not leave Endion until 200 p. M,
here at 11:30. The south bound train
will leave here at $50 a. M, and arrive
in Duluth at 800 p. m. As a con-
venience to travellers the north bound
loses its value.

in TROUBLE.
The Local Firm of Kaufman &
Yezner Entangled in the
Tolls of the Law.
FRAUD ALLEGED.
A Receiver Appointed to Take
Charge of the Store in
this City.

Rumors of a crash in the business
of the firm of Kaufman s. Yezner,
doing clothing business in this city
were flying thick and fast for the
past two weeks, and on Wednesday
evening, just week ago there arrived
in the city, j. B. Geiss, an agent of
the creditors of the concern, who
immediately took charge Of the bust
ness. Thursday, Judge Ensign, Of
the district court appointed Leonard
w. French receiver, on petition OF B.
Somers s. Co., of st. Paul. Thursday
evening Deputy Sheriff Picha, of ST.
Paul arrived to take in custody, NJ.
Kaufman and D. B. Yezner, members
Of the firm, on warrent sworn out
by Guiterman Bros, wholesale
firm of ST. Paul, charging them with
making false representations to the
wholesale firm, in that they claimed
that their liabilities we're not over
81, 800 while their assets were suf-
ficiently great to make them solvent
and sound financially. 1t is further
alleged that these representations
were false and that Kaufman &
Yezner had liabilities at the time
they bought their goods last Sep
TENDER, amounting to $500 and
upwards. Among the jobbers who
are claimed as creditors of the firm
are mentioned kellogg, Johnson & Co.,
Sommers & Co., McKibbin and Gutter
man BrOs.
The story told by Deputy Picha to
a st. Paul reporter, is that when he
arrived in this city he found Kauf-
man & Yezner's store in the hands of
receiver appointed few days before
by the court Of st. Louis county.
The receiver did not know where the
proprietors of the store were and
Picha set out to sleuth the town. He
learned that Yezner was in the
Exchange hotel and arrested
Yezner. Yezner did not know where
his partner was, so Picha took him
back to the store where it was learned
that Kaufman was attending lodge
meeting. A messenger was sent to
Kaufman to tell him that Yezner was
in trouble outside Kaufman appear
ed Immediately, only to find himself
corralled by Picha.
There was little scene, for the
prisoners protested against being in
carcerated in the Ely bastile, but
Picha was tired and he did not want
to watch his prisoners sleep all night
at hotel, so he locked them up for
safe keeping and went to the hotel
and slept himself. In the morning
the prisoners protested against the
bracelets which Picha insisted upon
but the protests availed not with the
deputy from st. Paul. The partners
were take to st. Paul on Friday morn
ing's train, put in cell at the county
Jail. On being accosted by Pioneer
Press reporter they answered gruhly
that they had nothing to say but Mr..
kaufman, however unburdened him.

There was bridal couple in the
train. They were young and tender,

riage they had hold 81 hands, This
is perfectly proper and right, and

who looked on, however, was a lad

IT Is not expected that the English
press should be pleased at the declara-
ton that the Monroe Doctrine is an
American principle. Even IL all Europe
fails to endorse 1t, that makes no
difference. This nation, any nation, has
the right to announce its sentiments and
to justify them 10 1t can. 1t is our busi-
ness TO hold opinions and stand by them
even IL they do conflict with the not
disinterested views OF other nations.
There is nothing necessarily cocky about
such position, either. The Declaration
OF Independence was not acknowledged
on account OF any spirit o. courtesy or
international ssntimentalism.
