UNDER ONE FOOT OF GROUND.
Louis Solomon Fails to Properly
Bury a Body.

Another violation of the ordinance
regulating the interment of dead bod
les has been discovered by the health
department and the offender placed
under arrest. The offense was COM
mitted in the Russian Brotherhood
cemetery, where, few weeks ago, the
health department was obliged to in
terfere in order to prevent an improp-
er burial. The ordinance requires that
all bodies be encaSed in coffin or
wooden box before being placed I'M
foreground, and that all graves shall
be at least six feet in depth. The GUS
tom of a brotherhood of Russian Jews
in the city has been to bury it's dead at
an insufficient depth, some of the bod
les being inferred not more than twelve
inches under the surface of the ground.
On Monday last Louis Solomon, an
undertaken whose services are sought
by the Russian Jews, obtained a burial
permit at the health office. 1t was for
the interment of the body of a child
Health Inpector Sinks, to whom Sol
ONION applied, declares that he cau-
toned Solomon to put the body in d
coffin or other substantial receptacle
and to be sure and have the grave
dug six feet deep. Yesterday MI.
Sinks visited the cemetery, and, upon
Investigating, he discovered that the
body had been buried without a coffin,
anu tlldl II ldy SCdICely Twelve Inches
under the surface.
In consequence Mr. Sinks swore out
a warrant for Solomons arrest, and
the latter was apprehended and taken
to the police court yesterday morning,
where his case was continued until
next Monday. In the meantime the
authorities will see that the body is
properly inferred today.
Mr.. Solomon declares that he is not
responsible for the depth of the grave,
as he was hired by two officials of the
Russian Brotherhood to dig the grave
to just the depth 1t is.
The two officials referred to, 3.
Broustein and F. Katz, assured the
health officers yesterday that they or
dered Solomon to dig the grave to the
depth required by law and to bury the
body properly.

witness Says When ShufeIdt Got Da-
Ixota House He Represented Com
panies Were to BE Separate.

Some important testimony was eiiC-
tied before Judge Brill yesterday IN
the case of the Minnesota Packing and
Provision company. A. 3. Stickney,
the president of the Chicago Great
Western company was on the siaIo
all day. Mr.. Kellogg conflicting the
direct examination. Mr. Stickney Or
ganized the Union Stockyafds COM
pany. Prior to the organization, Mr..
Stickney said, there was no market Tor
live stock. After looking over various
localities, Mr.. Stickney decided to
establish g company at South st. Paul,
inasmuch as the water supply was ade-
ouate. the sewage could be taken care
of at small expense, and ice could be
put up at 121a cents a ton. According
ly the Union Stockyards company was
organized and its plant established.
Mr.. Stfckney testified that in 1855 the
Union Stockyards company entered
into a contract with Fowler Bros,
whereby the company agreed to build
a packing plant The building erected
was subsequently occupied by the Min
nesota Packing and Provision COM
pany. 1t was understood that Fowler
Bros. were to furnish the plans and
specifications, and the building was to
be constructed under their supervi-
sion, the stockyards company paying
over 100000 for such construction.
Fowler Bros. began packing about Jan.
1, 1885, Three months later they or
ganized company with a capital
stock of $5OO,OOO Of this amount Fowler
Bros. were to subscribe $415,000. The
remaining $4,000 was subscribed. by
Mr.. Stickney, who put in $4,000, $4,000
of which was for the Fowlers; Open

TO FIGHT THE CLAIM.
Minnesota Savings Bank Bondsmen
and the County Deposit.

The suit brought by Ramsey county
against the bondsmen of the defunct
Minnesota Savings bank, in the dis
trict court, to recover $2,6SS14 of the
county's funds which were deposited
with that institution at the time it
failed, will be contested. The bonds
men, who are Joseph Ehrmantraut Jr.,
George ]. Mitsch, L. 1. Casserly,
Thomas F. Conroy, Herman L. Schade
and Flora borden, administrative of
the estate of the late Christian J. Dor
iden, have served the county treasur-
er with notice to- that effect. The
The amount of the bond is $4,000. and
the defendants claim that it is worth
less because it was illegally drawn.
After the bondsnen of the Bank of
Minnesota compromised the claims
against the institution held by the city
and the county, suit was brought
against the bondsmen interested in the
action now pending in the hope that
they would followI3the example set in
the Bank of Minnesota cases. Then
came up the question of the validity of
their bond, and upon this will now
hinge the questions whether the county
can hold the bondsmen of the savings
bank liable for the deposit of its funds
which were tied up by the failure.

Bros, $4,000 and Gregory Hunniford,
$4,000; Messrs. Stickney, Oppenhein
and Kalman alone paid for their stock.
so Mr.. Stickney testified.
Continuing Mr. Stickney said that
after the plant had been in operation
for nearly year, he met Arson Fow-
Ter on the train coming to st. Paul, who
informed him that they intended to dis
continue the running of the plant. Mr..
Stickney asked that such action be de-
ferred until an investigation could be
had. The request was acceded to. The
investigation revealed that Robert D.
Fowler, Henry Davis and Gregory had
not paid for their stock. Fowler ac-
cording to Stickney's testimony had
transferred to the stock yards COM
pany some real estate which the Fow-
lers owned, at a price between $4,000
and 100000, and some real estate stocks
still owned, at a price between 10000
and $4,000 1t also appeared that the
Anglo-American Provision company,
of Chicago, with which Fowler Bros.
were idetifed, had advanced about $780,
COG, making about 100000 which re-
presented the entire payment made by
Fowler. Stickney declared that in con-
sequence the company had done bust
ness on borrowed money and instead
of the Fowlers paying in the agreed
amount of capital, to wit, 415,000, they
did business. on the credit of the An
glo-American company which they
owned.
Then came a reorganizatio Mr..
Stickney testified that he paid in $780,
600 and that Oppenheim & Kalman
and William Dawson and Andrew FoW-
Ter subscribed $4,000 more.
About this time Henry Davis, whose
management was deemed unsatisfac-
tory, was removed and Frank Clifton
was appointed in his place. Mr.. Clifton,
together with Mr.. Kalman, who was
president managed the company in an
entirely satisfactory manner until Oc-
tober 1893, when Philip Shufeldt was
was given the sole management.
Mr.. Stickney then related in response
to Mr.. Kellogg's questions, the account
of his visit to England in 1898, where
he went to raise $4,000 on the bonds
of the company, and the negotiations
that were entered into in London
In 1895, so Mr. Stickney testified, Mr..
Shufeldt wanted to rent the Dakota
house. Mr.. Shufeldt represented to
Mr.. Stickney, so the latter said, that
the management of the Dakota house
would be entirely separate from and
not in any way connected with that of
the Minnesota Packing and Provision
company, and that it's officers would
be other men.
Mr.. Stickney was positive that Mr..
Shufeldt did not say that he would sell
his meats to the Minnesota Packing
company but had assured him, Mr..
Stickney said, that the management
would be separate and distinct.
Shortly before court adjourned for
the day, Mr. Kellogg closed his direct
examination, and Mr.. Squires began
the cross-examination of Mr.. Stickney,
going over the ground covered by the
plaintiff. In the course of the cross
examination, Mr.. Stickney sad that
while he had heard of Mr.. Shufeldt be-
fore 1893, he had regarded him as
myth, until he finally met the gentle
man.
Court adjourned until 10 a. m. today,
but the cross-eXamination of Mr.. Stick
ney will not be resumed until after
noon.
