Sioux FALLS. s. D., April 23.-The re-
ports of the large winnings made by ex-
Senator Pettigrew on the New York Stock
Exchange through tips given to him by
James j. Hill. the millionaire railroad
President. has aroused renewed interest in
the personality Of the former United States
Senator from South Dakota. who has just
returned here from New York city, where
he went after the adjournment Of Con-
gress
Intimate friends OF the ex-senator tell
an interesting story Of how that aggres-
sive and energetic gentleman lost his first
and has just won his second fortune When
he entered the United States Senate little
over twelve years ago he was said to be
worth not less than $500, 900. Practically
the whole Of this sum was lost during the
years Of the financial stringenoy. and from
a man of affluence Pettigrew became oom-
paratively poor.
His first good fortune in stock speculation
was during the time that Joe" Letter was
a conspicuous figure in Chicago Board Of
Trade circles. During that period Petit
grew succeeded in securing the money
with which to purchase 10000 bushels Of
corn In the crib in Iowa. The grain was
secured for II cents bushel. After holding
for a time he sold the whole lot for IS ;,
cents a bushel, more than doubling his
money
The ex-Senator's present financial con-
| diton ts due largely to lucky invest
ment he made a little over year ago in
South Dakota and Montana farm lands.
! Through a Minnesota agency he secured
options on 1000 acres Of land in the two
| States. He had 10 put up about tis, 900,
| and this was advanced by his wife, who had
| just inherited II. The purchase was made
on tip from James j Hill. II is said The
| friendship between the two men dates
| from thirty years ago. when Pettigrew
was struggling young pioneer on the
| frontier Of Dakota, and Hill had not vet
| made stir in the railroad world The
| options were on lands penetrated by Hills
railroad. and which he had determined TO
| boom
After Congress adjourned Pettigrew
went to New York city and within the past
thirty days has sold enough OF the land 10
bring him a comfortable fortune. Two
sales since Congress ad dourned brought
him $4,000. Other investments have re-
Gently paid him large profits, and with the
money made on the New York Stock Ex-
change 1t Is reliably reported that he Is
to-day again worth not less than $3.50. 900.
Pettigrew himself will not confirm or
deny the reports OF his winnings on the
New York Stock Exchange but It is known
that he has recently deposited avery large
sum in a Sioux Falls bank
The reports Of his sudden accumulation
OF wealth naturally have started stories
that he will make another effort to return
TO the United States Senate, but he says
he is not taking an active part In politics.
that the people decided 70 retire him, which
was the best thing for him from financial
