A FAILURE.
Supposed Wealthy M%innesotan Has
Liabilities of $125,OOO, with
No Assets.

st. Paul, Mimi, June IA special
from Olivia, Mimi, says: Hans
Gronnerud, who has for 40 years
been one of the most respected citi-
zens of Renville county and sup
posed to be worth $25O,OO0, has failed,
with reported liabilities amounting to
$125,OO0 and no assets. For many
years he has been the owner of the
Bank of Beaver Falls and a heavy
stakeholder in the Morton bank and
State bank, of Olivia, and the Rem
vile Abstract company, and has
been engaged in loaning trust
funds for Wisconsin and eastern par
ties, as well rs hundreds of people Of
the country, who have intrusted him
with their earnings. The Bank of
Beaver Falls has closed it's doors, and
depositors are ,clamoring for their
money, but there appears. to be no
assets.
Facts and figures are coming in
slowly, but enough is already known
which goes to show that the financial
collapse of Hans Gronnerud is by far
the most disastrous of any in the his
tory of southern Minnesota. Wild
ows, hired girls, farmhands and farm
ers are the victims Of the Gronnerud
failure. It is understood that pre-
vious to his departure to points I'M
known Mr.. Gronnerud submitted a
statement of liabilities a~ggregating
nearly 100000, but according to au-
thoritative reports the amount will
far exceed that figure and farmers
will be the principal sufferers.
Long before there was any sus-
picion of Gronnerud's financial en-
barrassment d. D. Cheney, his bust,
ness associate, accompanied by an
attorney, spent several days in Olivia,
during which time all the realities
in the name OF Gronnerud were trans
ferred to D. D. Cheney, all other cred
itors being ignored. At the present
writing there is most likely to be a
general uprising among the creditors
to contest the right of Mr.. Gronnerud
making the Cheneys preferred cred
itors and that there will be a war
of litigation goes without saying.
Gronnerud left here several days ago,
saying that he was going to some
hot springs in Indiana for his health.
For years he has been a public bene-
factor and an ardent friend of the
poor and his friends cannot under
stand what brought about his finan-
| cial reverses.

Perish.
Twelve of the dead were men who
went into the mine as rescuers. What
caused the explosion and loss Of life
is something the mine inspectors of
the Ninth and Eleventh districts spent
the greater part of the day trying to
find out. The officials of the coal COM
pany declare that none but regulation
mine lamps were used, while others
are of the opinion that n of the men
carelessly ignited the gas and caused
one of the greatest mine catastrophes
in the history of Westmoreland coun-
ty.
Inspection Party Enters Mine.
At 1904 a m. an inspection party
went down into the mine, through the
shaft on the Baltimore & Ohio side
of the Youghiogheny river. 1t is their
purpose to penetrate as far as posi-
BILE to locate the dead bodies, with
hardly hope of finding anyone alive.
The fans in both shafts, No. / being
on the north side of the river, were
started up to clear the mine of smoke,
fire damp and the ~afterdamp remain
ing from the explosions Monday night.
The explosions n supposed to have
occurred between entries 20 and rs,
5000 feet back from the shaft. The
disaster occurred about six o'clock
Monday evening. An explosion was
heard by men at shaft No. 2 and sud
denly a cloud of smoke burst from
the mouth of the shaft. 1t was
known that Anthony Stickles, John

A searching party composed OF
