Miss Bergman in Great Grief Over
the Death of Matt Witt

The mystery hanging over the death
of Matt Witt and why he killed him
self is no nearer solution today than at
the time of the finding OF the body.
Miss Dora Bergman is in Abilene to-
day where she went to attend the fun
eraI of Mr.. Witt on Saturday evening.
Miss Bergman intended going with the
body on the Union Pacific train at noon
of Saturday but on arriving a the de-
pot at North Topeka was told by
friends present that she would not be
welcomed by the relatives of the de-
ceased. Mr.. John Witt also spoke very
severely about the impropriety of the
matter to Miss Bergman and warned
her that she was not wanted
Under these discoura gements the
young lady abandoned the idea OF going
at that time and in company with her
cousin. Miss Olenberg went to Abilene
in the evening train leaving Topeka at
8 o'clock. Before leaving she expressed
great grief over the affair. At the de-
pot she paced up and down the plat
form wringing her hands and excIaim-
ing, What shall I do, what shall do. -
She also stated to a friend that she had
always loved Mr.. Witt and had cared
for no one else and expected to marry
him.
1t is not known whether Miss Berg
man has gotten the letter left her by
the deceased. After the coroner had
opened and read its contents it was
turned over to John Wict who said he
proposed to keep it unless Miss Berg
man made a very strong demand for

that the Indians of Loeb Lake are
threatening to burn and destroy the
buildings, bridges and other property Of
the Great Northern railway. The trou-

whites.
There is much uneasiness among the
settlers ard the government will likely

RECEIVER NAMED
For the New England Loan and
Trust Company.

New York, Sept. 26.-Otto Barnard Of
so Broad street, was today appointed
receiver of the New England Loan &
Trust company by Judge Shipmen, of
the United States circuit court on a
suit brought by the Real Estate Trust
cOmapny of Philadelphia, and Sabil-
lion Allen, of St. AIbans, Vt.
The company was a large lender Of
money on western mortgages.
Kansas City, No, Sept. 26.-It was
announced this forenoon that Otto Ban
mart of New York, treasurer of the Con-
tinentaI Trust company of that city,
had been appointed receiver for the
New England Loan and Trust company,
with headquarters in this city.
The f1pn dealt in city and farm mort
cages in the west Its capital is given
as SS25, 600, and its last printed state
ment showed a surplus of 800, 600.
The company is said to hold $4,000, 900
in debentures, IS, ,000, 900 in loans and to
have $4,000 cash in hand The receiv-
ership IS said to have been forced by
the cOnpany's inability to close on loans
made in 1883 and 1889 on western boom
. town prosperity, most of which is said
to have been in Omaha, and which has
proven a loss The extent OF these losses
are not known, but are said to be large
The firm also carried heavy loans on
western farm property, and although
the losses on city property is said to
have dragged the assets to a depth
where a receivership became necessary.
J. S Gilbert, secretary and assistant
manager, has had charge of the local
headquarters Of the company for sew
eral yCars.
The company is composed mostly OF
New York, Philadelphia and Des Moines
men. The home office of the company
is at Des MOines, though the main
office is in New York City. Besides the
branch here, there are branch offices
at Dallas. Tex, and Oklahoma City.
Okla. John c. Hall is the company 3
attorney at Kansas City.
''The cause of the failure" he said to
a reporter was our inability to keep
up our losses on loans made on western
city property in 1888 and 1889. The COM
pany was organized in 1876 and did a
profitable business in farm loans till
1883, when it began making loans on
property in Omaha, Sioux City. Salt
Lake City and ogden. When the boom
went to pieces foreclosures became ne
cessary and we found ourselves SO bur
dened with deprecated city property
that it has taken more than the profits
on our farm loan business to keep up
the interest, taxes and repairs. If we
had had another year or two in which
to catch up we could have pulled
through all right and we may yet if
the securities behind the debenture
bonds don't fail us"
The cOmpany'S securities were sold
almost entirely in the east

MILLS NOT STOPPED.
Mistaken Report in a Kansas City
Paper About Topeka Flour
ing Mills.

An item appeared in a Kansas City
paper Sunday to the effect that all the
-four mills in Topeka had closed down
on account of inability to secure a sup
ply of wheat. This appears to be
mistake.
Mr. c. w GriswoId Of the Shawnee
mills said: There is no trouble what
ever about the mills getting all the
wheat they want They are all run
ming as usual"
The Crosby mill which is the one that
shut down on Saturday on account Of
there being no wheat in the bins has
started again 1--WE failed to get wheat"
said Mr. Theo Hammatt, but it was
not because the supply was short, but
on account of an accident There Is
plenty Of wheat to be had"

of the far end of the room, a small
table answering for an altar. Before
them were the afflicted family and their
