It seems that our old friends, Wur-
ster & Keller. who moved their coop

Prairie du Chen a few years ago,
are in hard luck. Their plant is a
large one and among other things
they turned Out large amount of
tight cooperage for the Prairie du
Chien picking and canning
factory. Last week the sheriff
of Crawford county closed up the
picking establishment to satisfy cred
itors whose claims amounted to Sc, 100.
The picklers owe Wurster g. Keller
50, 800 in money and besides the I'M
lucky coopers have left on their hands
hundreds of dollars worth of tight
cooperage stock that cannot be used
for any other work. The low price of
canned goods caused the failure.

Who OWNS GERALDINE 2
A Problem in Horse Trading
Partly Solved by the Su.
preme Court.
The Mare Belongs to Williams Unless
Ashe Will Pay His Debt to
Kelly.

The Supreme Court has decided that
Thomas III. Williams is entitled to the
possession of the horses which he has been
suing for possession of. Either that or
Porter Ashe, who holds the horses, must
pay Williams their value.
The horses are Geraldine, Don Fulano
and four yearlings. They were first trans
ferred from Ashe to Nike Kelly-Ashe
says in security for debt of $4,000 "A
which he owed Kelly and Kelly says in
satisfaction of the debt and as an absolute
transfer. Anyway Kelly sold the horses
to Williams and Williams had them for
some time, until one day Ashe and some
friends took Geraldine from the track
stables and rode her off and at the same
time got possession by other means of the
other horses, which were in Sacramento.
Williams then brought suit to recover pos
session.
The Superior Court, by verdict of jury.
awarded possession of the horses to Will
liams until Ashe should pay to Williams
the amount of his debt to Kelly. It was
decided that Williams stood IN place of
Kelly, who had held the horses as security.
and consequently Williams was in the
same position. Ashe was given thirty
days by the Superior Court to pay the
money or give UP the horses, and as this
time has expired and has not been ex-
tended it is probable that Williams will
get the horses.

GONE TO KENTUCKY.
III. Il. Huntington Said to Be or His
Way to That State as
Lobbyist.

ii. t. Huntington, vice president of the
Southern Pacific Company, left hurriedly
for the East few days ago. 1t was given
out at the time that his destination was
New York, where he would attend fam
lily marriage.
From trustworthy source in the rail-
road offices it was learned yesterday that
Mr.. Huntington had gone to Kentucky on
business of the utmost Importance to the
railway corporation.
III. e. has been ordered to the capital
of Kentucky" said the Southern Pacific
official. His orders, of course, came from
e. p, who has more than he can attend
to at Washington just now. Young Mr..
Huntington was manager of Kentucky
road and is on good terms with many
prominent men in that State.
81 believe that he will appear among
the members of the Kentucky Legislature
iii day or two. 1t is a matter of the
most urgent necessity that action be
taken in that quarter without any delay,
or else the company may not be able to
wrestle with the bill recently introduced
to revoke the Southern Pacific charter.
II am told also that Mr.. Stubs is on an
important mission in connection with the
funding bill, but that is all | can say
Those matters have been kept exceedingly
quiet in the building, and that fact in it
self has given rise to considerable talk
aUong the heads of departments as vel
as among the clerks
