A STRANGE FAILURE
Assignment TO Facilitate the Distribution Of
the Rstnte

the Estate
ST. PAUL, Minn., March 15.-Patrick H.
Kelly, we'll known Democratic politician
and leading merchant, has filed an assign
ment for the benefit of his creditors to John
+. Meagher of Mankato, Mimi, who will
qualify in bond for the amount of $780,
900. which gives some idea of the size of
the failure. No schedules have yet been
prepared and no figures are given out, and
this is the only means Of knowing the size
of the failure.
The assignment is peculiar one, &C.
cording to the story of Mr.. .Kelly's attorney, ,
which is that there is no need for any
failure, as far as financial difficulties are
concerned, but the assignment has been
made to close up the estate more easily in
case Mr.. Kelly should not recover from
the attack of pneumonia which has con-
fined him to his rooms for some days. The
papers were filed on Saturday afternoon,
but the fact did not become public until
today.
Mr.. Kelly's private estate is estimated
as being worth from 100000 to $500 900,
but no accurate statement can be given
His attorney says his assets exceed the
liabilities. 1t il stated that the z. H.
Kelly Mercantile company will tomorrow
assign to w. B. Jordan of Miles City, for
the same reason that caused the assign
ment of Mr.. Kelly. The mercantile COM
pany is rated at half million dollars and
its credit is the highest. Business will go
on as usual and will in no way be inter-
fered with by the assignment.
Mr.. Kelly is one OF the most prominent
mon in the northwest, where he has held
front rank among merchants and politi-
clans many years. His wholesale grocery
house in this city is one of the best known
concerns in the country. In politics, Mr..
Kelly has always been Democrat and
with Michael Dorm, the national commit
teeman from Minnesota, has been con-
sdered the political boss of Minnesota for
nearly ten years. Both are warm friends
of the president.

For forty hours snow has been falling in

are dying.
A dispatch from Creede, Col, says: {:
Great excitement was caused yesterday by
Anton Frank and O. II. Mayott bringing
in several rich specimens of ore containing
large flakes of free milling gold. An assay
shows 246 30.lOO ounces, or $4,926 in
gold to the ton.
Representative Charles w. Stone of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee
