SIGAFUS' FORTUNE
TO BE ATTACHED

CHICAGO, March 1o.-It is likely that
j. NJ Sigafus of New York will have to
wait some time before he gets possess
sion of the valise containing $500, 900
worth of bonds and certificates of de-
posit which was recently stolen from
him at the Polk street Depot and which
was recovered by the police. The valise
is in the hands of the Wells-Fargo Ex-
press Company and was to have been
forwarded to Sigafus, who is now in
California, but United States Marshal
Osborn has served the express COM
pany with notice to hold the papers ur-
til further orders from the Federal
Court.
When creditors of Sigafus in Haver-
hill, Mass, who hold a judgment of
1926, 900 against him, read of the fund,
they Immediately notified their attorneys
to attach the property. The judgment
against Sigafus was obtained in Los
Angeles after two years litigation over
the Good Hope mine, but no property
could be found on execution, although
the creditors claim to have been aware
that Sigafus had a fortune in bonds and
securities.

ARMY COURTS INVESTIGATION
CONTINUING THE FARCE AT
THE SToCKYARDS.
Will Test the Meat Packed in Their
Presence to Determine the
Amount of Nutriment
Contained
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, March 10.-The Court Of
Inquiry resumed it's work regarding
beef to-day by continuing the investi-
cation of processes of preparation at
the stock yards. Several more Of the
packing houses were inspected. most of
the time being spent in examining the
methods of one of the companies which
deals exclusively in canned goods. The
various stages from the killing of the
beef to the labelling of the can were
witnessed.
After having seen an animal killed.
the court followed the carcass to the
refrigerator rooms and from there to
the department where the meat was
cut into pieces for canning. Much in
tereSt was observed as to the charac-
ter of the meat used for canning pur-
poses. General Davis was the chief in
quisitor, the other members of the
court being content to simply watch
the various processes. From the cut
ting room the meat was taken in large
iron carts to the cooking room, where
it was boiled. Twenty minutes is the
time allowed for this process, and when
the time had expired, the beef was
taken from the large watts and carted
into the canning room. DR.. BigeloW.
who is with the court as an expert,
mained in the vat and will examine it
to determine the quantity of nutriment
which it contains.
The canning room was next inspect
ed. Here the beef was cut into smaller
pieces and thrown into a pressing ma
chine, through which it passed into the
cans. The meat was then ready for
the roasting" process, but as the
ovens were not quite ready. the court
spent some time in looking over the
departments where the cans are made.
This was done so that the court might
have full knowledge as to the manner
of getting the cans ready for the beef.
After Witnessing the roasting process.
the court left the packing house and
adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock to-mor-
row morning.
Three army commissaries have been
summoned to appear, and it is expected
their testimony will be taken.
