Union Hill Smelling company, which
was given a capital stock of $500, 900.
Then gradually the property OF the
first company was transferred to the
new corporation, and its capital stock
increased to Sc, 900. OF this amount
Mr. Cradle took $4,S00,000 and 81 200, 900
was left in the treasury. The original
plan was continued by which the treas
ury stock was to be sold and the pro-
ceeds devoted to the development of the
property.
While Cradle was out selling stock
work was being pushed on the Black
Hills claims.
1t was at this time that the promi-
nent citizens who had lent their names
so freely to float the enterprise began
to realize the position in which they
would be placed in the event of it's col
lapse. At a meeting of the Philadel-
phia capitalists, who, like Cashier Quin-
Ian, had been led into d bad thing, it
was decided to take heroic measures.
Cradle was turned out. and ceased
to have anything to do with the COM
pany's affairs. The sale of stock was
stopped. An executive committee of
five members was chosen to look after
affairs. To prevent the appointment
of a receiver and a wipng out Of the
interests of 1000 or more stockholders,
it was determined to float a bond issue
for 100000. and the proposition was
brought before the annual meeting of
the stockholders in Jersey City. Jan. l.
Up to last Saturday. only 100000 had
been subscribed. but it is believed that
the bond subscription will be success
full, and the property saved to the
stockholders. in which case considera-
bic money will be expended in further
development work. The new people in
control of the company. it is said. will
take legal steps to compel Mr.. Searles
to build the smelter.
Thus in the end there may be some
returns. 1t is said Cradle has not been
able to sell all of the 81 500, 900 stock.
and that considerable part of it is
pledged for loans.

300, but since then all of the stock has
been purchased, and the company can
in no way be involved.
He came to this city highly Endorsed
and strongly recommended by bankers,
merchants and business men through
out the West, ana also by many in the
East. No one invested in his schemes
blindIy. All of the investors who be-
came interested visited the property
and made a thorough inspection Of 1t.
All who are Interested pronounced
in its favor, and there is no reason
for a change of mind. He did not eX-
aggerate the advantages, and we are
therefore surprised over the stories
which have been published concerning
him. Before the Edgemont & Union
Hill Smelling company was organized
we had experts visit the locality and
they reported in its favor.
( 1t is the general opinion here that
Mr.. CRADLES troubles have been caus
ed by the fact that he has over-eX-
tended his capital in the many enter
prises in which he was interested. Last
October oNr office was moved from
New York to this city. We are now
building smeiters, and as soon as they
are completed we viii go ahead"

CRADLES DEFENSE.
All the Money He Secured Went
Into His Enterprises.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 3.-Francis Cradle, who
Is in this city, has given out the following
statement:
Il have just read with the deepest pain
and regret of the resignation of W. ]. Quin-
Ian Jr., cashier of the Chemical National
Bank of New York He has been my friend
for twenty years, and | have been a depositor
at the Chemical bank for more than six years
past and my infinite business relations w tn
him during the period have always been of
the most pleasant character. 1t seems I'M
necessary for me to say to any one familiar
with Mr.. Quinlan's sterling integrity that he
has never profited cent from any of nv
business transactions with him. One ago,
my obligations to the bank were $1S0,02O and
six months ago l had paid up every dollar
The present indebtedness has ben incurred
since thai time
''The work I have been doing is that of
opening a new country, stretching for SOD
miles along the Burlington route. beginning
at Alliance, Neb.. and ending at Billings.
Mont. and including the branch line of 100
miles through the Black Hills to Deadwcod.
Only these who have had re-ience in build
ing up towns and villages have any idea of
the enormous cost. There are forty-two
towns in our territory. have built about
purposes, and q large lumber CT storage
reservoirs. tributary to these towns and have
thereby opened up thousands of acres for
settlement. and established farming commu1i-
ties and many homes. | have followed the
same plan on which Greedy, Col, built
up, where farm land is worth $50 to $500 per
acre.
ct has been my constant and earnest en-
deavor to bring each of these enterprises to
their highest point of profit to all the stock
holders. Every dollar OF my own money IS
invested in this work. and the money of
those associated with me- l have felt
was based en- good properties that would be
of eveT-increasing value. II the gears OF
devotion / have given to this work are not
crowned with success, l shall be completely
worn out and broken in health and lose
every dollar | have in the world.

CRITIC OUTPOINTED.
Beaten by u Boxer Recently From
the Amateur
Ranks.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. s.
Mcdonnell. Of San Francisco, a practi-
cally unknown man in the boxing
Worlo and who recently graduated
from the amateur ranks, outpointed
and outfought Young Critic. the cell
ebrated Australian boxer. before the
olympic club tonight. The contest was
a fifteen round affair and the big au-
! dftorium was packed with 5000 specta-
tors.
Critic started the first round with
rush and endeavored to rattle McCon-
nell by some queer tactics, but the
local man soon recovered himself and
took hand at forcing matters Critic
acted entirely on the defensive
throughout the remainder of the first,
and in the second and third rounds
was kept busy blocking and ducking
McConnell's leads. Mcconnell fought
almost entirely for the body, repeated
ly placing his right on Critics ribs
and over the kidneys. He varied this
however, with some we'll directed
rights on the jaw, which usually land
ed on CRITICS ear.
Critic swung wildly with his left in
the fourth and fifth rounds, but usually
fell short of McConnelrs face and was
countered each time with a right on
the body He puzzled the local man
considerably with his feints and sent
in couple of stiff left-facers before
Mcconnell could block them.
In the sixth and seventh rounds
Critic was satisfied to let Mcconnell
do the leading and was on the defen-
sive. Mcconnell put a couple OF hard
rights on the body and a stiff right up
percut on the face in the eighth Critic
came up for the ninth with a rush and
sent in a couple of singing leftS on
the face and a right on the body, but
his blows had no effect on Mcconnell.
He braced himself up and met the Aus
tralian's rushes with we'll directed body
blows.
The tenth was fast from the start to
finish Critic rushed Mcconnell for a
short while. and then gave ground be-
fore the local man. who did most of the
leading. Critic gave a beautiful eXhi-
biton of defensive work in this round
The fight was decided in McConnelI's
favor. He landed a hard right cross
counter on CRITICS eye which put that
member in mourning, and rushed the
Australian around the ring, but failed
to land effectively.
The twelfth and thirteenth rounds
were about even. with Mcconnell doing
most of the leading. Critic started in
to rush matters in the fifteenth, but a
couple of counters gave him a whole
some respect for McConnells good
right and, and the round ended in ia
VOr of the latter.
Mcconnell is a wonderful specimen of
muscular development. weighing about
143 pounds. He is of the rangy build,
with a hard punch with either hand,
and has a splendid guard.

MILWAUKEE,. Feb. 3.-President Hart, OF
the Chicago ball club. is cunning" for Ban
Johnson. alleging that the Yves crn leagues
president has jcbbed the official averags in
Isbel's case for the purpose of protecting
the St Paul player frcm draft. The Chicago
mSgul's accusation Is fired broads de and will
probably cause a rupture between the two
magnates. who have hitherto been close
friends, but his motive for doing so cannot
even be guessed at.
That man Isbel," says Mr.. Hart was
jobbed in the Western league averages
CCmiskey didn't want to lose that fellow
He stuck him in the field to keep him safe
from view ard then had him smothered in
errors when ii came TO making u2 the figures.
Too late. We've drafted him. and he will
be given a good show with the Chicago
club. Isbel was certainly jobbed-the figures
betray their own inconsistency. The man
played not less than ninety games last sea
soma proof on its face that he was OF great
all-rouDd value. Yet he was only credited
with ifty-one games in the battling statistics.
while the fielding records showed that he
played no less than seventytwo games in the
outer gardens. There no misprint or
typographical error about it either. for the
corresponding statistics all through the
columns tell the story"

tiles with a light left on the face and got
away without return. Douglass tried Il

changes Tracey landed stiff left on the face

roun1.
| In round two Tracey put a stiff right on
the body and Douglass clnched. Douglass

Tracey landing his left CT the face and his
right en- the body.
