A telegram to the Globe from
Watertown, S. D., states that smooth
individual giving the name Of Herman
Wedelstaedt, who claimed to be repre-
senting the st. Paul firm of H. E.
Wedelstaedt & Co., had succeeded in
cashing a check for $40, drawn to his
order on the Union bank of this city,
and signed II. Wedelstaedt. In due
time the check came back duly mark
ed forgery The telegram states that
he turned a similar trick at Madison,
Mimi, and is supposed to have left
there Monday night
Local inquiry developed the fact that
the forger has been quite successful
in a small way, and has secured money
on half a dozen checks drawn in the
manner described, and always onlthe
checks of the Union Bank of ST. Paul.
Henry E. Wedelstaedt, when seen, pro-
duced several notices of protest which
had been sent him, referring to checks
ranging in amount from $50 to $40,
which were evidently the handiwork of
the same individual.

PROMOTERS GET MORE TIME
TO SECURE THE SIGNATURES OF A
MAJORITY OF CREDI-
TORS.
THEY ASKED FOR SIXTY DAYS,
But the Court Was of the Opinion
That Would Be Too Long
Delay.

Those creditors Of the Bank Of Min
hesota who desire the reorganization
of the bank in preference to the i'm
mediate payment by the receivers of
a dividend of 10 per cent appeared
by their attorney, 2. j. Mclaughlin,
before Judge Otis at special term yes
terday, and submitted an outline of
the proposed plan of reorganization.
Their application for a pOstpOnement
of the matter was vigorously opposed
by Hiler Horton, representing $150,000
in deposits, but Judge Otis finally de-
cided to postpone any action until Sat
urday. Nov 27. Mr.. Mclaughlin asked
for sixty days. The receivers of the
bank, who have applied for an order
allowing them to pay the 10 per cent
dividend, remained neutral.
The court room was filled with de-
positOrs and their attorneys when At
torney Mclaughlin read the plan pro
posed by the reorganization committee.
In substance the plan, after reciting
that the Bank of Minnesota is not in
debted to the United States or the
state of Minnesota, nor to it's servants,
labOrers or clerks, for services per
formed within ninety days before the
appointment of the receivers, is as fol-
lows:
1t is further proposed to make provision
for the payment of all other debts, includ-
ing debts not due, upon substantially the fol-
lowing terms:
For 60 per cent of the total amount of such
debts, certificates shall be issued, represent
ing the amount due to each creditor, payable
TO each, respectively, and setting forth the
times and manner of payment, as follows:
Twenty per cent to be paid within ninety
from fbo data Oq rani1o ,oJ
the balance rapidly amount suffi-
cient TO pay 10 per cent thereof is accumu-
lated over and above the amount required
to any equity which may appear in
the mortgaged property, and to pay taxes and
assessments, and care of any and all prop
erty now belonging to or which may here
after be acquired by the bank; provided,
however, that the entire amount shall be
paid within five years from the date of re-
organization.
The remaining 40 per cent to be paid in
the stock of the bank. to be based on a re-
upon, not exceeding the amount of $200,000
The plan will also provide for the levying
and collection of an assessment of not less
than 100 per cent upon all stockholders of
the bank, pro rata, according to the num-
Der of shares held by each, providing no
levy shall be made upon the stockholders
who have already paid their assessments, ex-
- all stockholders that all the stockholders
who pay their assessments shall be entitled
to receive stock for the amount so paid at
the same reduced capitalization as the issue
to creditors

has accumulated several hundred dol
