GIVES Up THE LISTS.
The Journal Returns Certain Pa
pers to the Tribune Company

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 21.-The matter of the
Journal Tribune circulation charges made its
first appearance in the local courts today in
proceeding before Judge McGee instituted
by the publishers of the Tribune, to compel
the Journal publishers TO produce the mailing
lists CT the Tribune.
Monday the Tribune instituted an action
OF repleyin against the Journal for the recov-
cry of the Lists. The complaint was filed in
court today. and charges that the lists were
stolen from the Tribune and detained by the
Journal from the Tribune, ard asking for the
recovery of the lists. The papers were placed
in the hands of the sheriff for service Deputy
Sheriff John Wall proceeded to the Journal
oErce and demanded Of Charles A. Tuller the
manager in charge, and of Frank Thresher
the superintendent of circulation, that the
lists be produced. He was told that they
would not &c given up. He proceeded to make
a search for them, but after a diligent hunt
through the Journal offices he failed to find
them, and made a return of that fact into
court.
Judge McGee adjourned court for twenty
minutes 10 await their arrival. and at the end
or that time Mr. Thresher appeared in court
with them, and they were turned over TO the
sheriff. The attorney for the Tribune claimed
that the lists were not all brought in, and
Mr. Thresher when examined on the stand
stated that certain missing sheets he Thought
he had had, but he didn't know where they
now were. He and the Journal attorney
agreed, however. that they would turn over
to the sheriff the rest of the sheets If they
could be found. Sheriff Wall took possession
OF the papers and will return the property
to the Tribune company.
Later the attorney for the Journal admitted
that it had the missing sheets and would
produce them.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 21.-Judge Otis,
of the Ramsey county district court,
today filed in Hennepin county his de-
Cision in the case of the Minneapolis
Trust company. as receiver of the
Northwestern Guaranty Loan company
inSolVent, against Louis F. Menage ct
al The trust company is required to
pay SSS. 500 to square up its account in
connection with the West Pullman
bond deal Owing to the great amount
Of public feeling stirred up over the
matter in Hennepin county, Judge Otis
was invited TO adjudicate the case.
The matter came up on an applica-
tion of the trust company, as trustee,
for the allowance OF its accounts, to
which the creditors entered objections.
In his decision the court sums up as
follows:
By reason of the misconduct and bad faith
OF Charles n. Hamblin, imputable to the tru5-
tee, the trustee Is not protected oy the former
order or decree authorizing the sale, but
must upon this accounting be charged with
the bonds at the fair and reasonable value
thereof at the time OF the sale.
II appearing that at the time Of the sale
the fair and reasonable value of the bonds
amounted TO the full sum of SIS, 500, the trus
tees account must be surcharged and 1t must
be charged in its account with the sum of
SSS.501, instead Of with the sum Of S29, 500 so
entered on the date Of March 49, 1885, and It
is SO ordered.
In all other respects the account is ap-
. proved and allowed and the objections there
to overruled, except that the question Of
whether the trustee shall be charged interest,
and if so, from what time and at what rate,
IS expressly reserved and will be considered
upon the hearing and allowance Of the trus-
tees final account.
The obiectors are entitled to Judgment
against the Minneapolis Trust company for
costs and disbursements incurred by them on
this hearing to be taxed in other cases.

This road is planned to follow about

that a packing company has been

is said that the packing companies are
able to continue business at a profit
