A bill Of Hamilton Bros, for Ss3.03,
for work done and materials furnished at
the crematory, in 1893, was brought up.
1t appeared that the bill had originally
been presented TO the Health Committee,
but owing TO some disagreement had
thence gone 10 the Committee on Claims.
In the estimation of members the bill
was proper one TO be passed upon by
the Health Committee, and it was sent
back to that committee.

ELWOOD. Ind, July 12-Deputy Supreme
Chief Ranger c. F. Lispenard, of Logans-
port. who has been engaged in unraveling
the Cox-Myers empty coffin mystery, sent
a telegram to the Foresters' committee late
last night. telling them TO meet him at the
2:30 Panhandle train as he had warrants
for the arrest of DR.. Cox and others and
that they were to accompany him to Green
field. where the arrests were TO be made.
The committee was at the depot. but
Lispenard did not arrive and up to this
time no one knows why he did not come.
So far as DIR. Cox being at or near
Greenfield. Hancock county, it Is all a mis-
take, as he is not there. Certain people in
this city are in possession of information.
which is authentic, that when DR.. Cox left
here last Saturday he went to Kokomo
and transferred all his property to his wife;
that he afterwards sold his horse and
buggy and went to st. Louis, Mo-, where
he purchased a ~second-class ticket and went
TO San Antonio. Tex. and is at present
located at a little town near there called
that he had a letter of Introduction to
a Dr: Ledbetter, who lives there and there
Is where DR.. Cox will be found IL he is
wanted. This Information comes straight
and can be relied on. Just why Lispenard
did not come last night is unknown. but
II Is believed that he received word that
Cox was not at Greenfield. The mystery
is approaching a solution and IL is limited
that unless matters miscarry the denou-
ment will occur soon.

Receivers Appointed for the Campbell
Cattle commission Company.

KANSAS CITY, NO., July 12.-George E.
Black and George@Neal have been appointed
by United States Judge Phillips receivers
for the Campbell Commission Company
The company is an Illinois corporation, do
ing a cattle commission business In Kansas
City. st. Louis, Chicago, South Omaha and
Fort Worth. The main Office Is in this city.
James II. Campbell, of Chicago, is the presi-
dent, and George Z. Black, of Kansas City,
treasurer. The money involved is set by
the Metropolitan National Bank. which
made application for the receivers, at
$S5o.000. The bank loaned the company
$4,000 in June, and has bought paper to the
sum OF x4.45 so, being the notes of various
persons Endorsed by the Campbell COM
pany. The receivers are ordered to con-
tinue the business to the benefit of all the
creditors. The present assets other thar
the money owed to the company by the
cattle ~raisers. and the prospective COM
missions OF 800. 900. are ina at 500, 900,
OF which only half is available. The failure
OF Clark & Plumb. of Fort Worth. recently.
has embarrassed the concern.
The business dates back many years In
Chicago and st. Louis. The present organi-
zation was effected in May, 1892. The re-
ceivership is a move of the company. Re-
the creditors. in which the Metropolitan
Bank acts merely as the vehicle to accom-
plish the action OF the court. Since 1892,
the petition sets forth, from $500, 900 TO
$l.O0,cW have been annually advanced TO
cattle raisers by the concern. The cattle
raiser executes a mortgage on the cattle
Tor the loan and gives his note. The COM
mission company has discounted this paper.
When the cattle are brought to market, no
matter who sells them, the company gets
It's money and interest back, and a commits
sion Of 90 cents on each head. The value
OF cattle so handled is placed at from eight
TO eleven million dollars annually. In this
way the Campbell company has borrowed
$4,000. now outstanding. from various
sources, and In turn loaned out the money,
Tor which the notes and mortgages on the
cattle have been discounted all over Amer
fca- The present assets, other than the
money owed 10 the company by the cattle
raisers and the prospective commissions OF
100000, are estimated at 500, 00, OF which
only half is available.
Inc failure OF Clark & Plumb. of Fort
Worth. recently. has embarrassed the con-
germ. A few days ago a creditor tried &c
levy a herd of fifteen thousand head Of cat
tie In Oklahoma, but the levy failed. and
the creditor served a writ OF garnishment
on the cattle owner instead. Notes have
been falling due lately which there was nc
money in the treasury to meet. T. p.
Gates and T. T.. Wallace, for the Camp
bell company. admit insolvency and accep,
the. action of the court. Receiver Black
said, to-day. that business last year had
been bad and losses incurred. He asserted
that the creditors would receive IS cents or
the dollar. A circular has been issued tC
customers announcing a continuance of the
business by the receivers.
