500 ON THE RAMPAGE
Common Stock Touched 70 To-day
and Shows No Signs Of
Fall in Price.
Shares Have Quadrupled in Value
During Past Year-Fourteen
Points Rise in 8 Days.

Is there any top to 500 stock? Is it any
where near top now that it is just under
80, or has it only begun to climb? These
are the questions local spectators who
have been following the stock are now
asking themselves.
500 was on the rampage again this NOR
ming and started the week with another
record smashing squirt, going this time to
s19. 1t was a repetition Of the old story.
incidentally some of the local speculative
crowd were whipsawed to-day and came
out Worsted at the finish
A week ago Saturday 500 stock sold
at 65. This was the high point to that
time and marked the apex of an advance
extending over a year that had doubled,
trebled and even quadrupled prices. On
the Monday following the common stock
began rising and on Tuesday struck 70.
Here it was figured that setback would
have to come, on the general principle
that reactions always follow sharp ad-
vances, and some of the more daring
stock traders ventured to sell little
500 short. But all their selling had no
important effect, and later in the week,
seeing the tenacity with which the stock
held around the 70 level and with gen.
eral bull market on in New York, these
shorts got scared and began to buy back
for protection. 500 struck 74A.
At this point even the most enthusiastic
the stock will ultimately cross par, de-
cided that it was time for caution. and
there was a rush Of selling orders out Of
Minneapolis, most of them for profit taxi
ing on stock carried up all the way from
to 80 points. These sellers had no lack
Of confidence in the stock, but believed
they could get out on the squirt and buy
back on a setback. With these. straight
profit taking orders there was the sprink-
ling of speculative short sales. 500 closed
Saturday at 1874.
Over Sunday there developed the feel
ing that even at TAX it was after all
something Of a fool proposition to go short
of a stock Of which there is so little
going around as 500, and this with con-
ditions in the northwest extremely ia
vorabe money easy in New York and bull
manipulation the feature Of the times.
So when the market opened this NOR
ming there were a good many buying
orders on hand, and the first trade was
at 1874. A sharp break put it to 1914, but
just as the bears were again preparing
to get active it moved back and struck 70
From the spectators viewpoint little
500 is it, and a pretty fierce PROPOSE
tiOn at that.

McNEELEY AFFIDAVITS
They Are Laid Before County Board,
Protest Against 'Tonka

County Commissioner Mike Nash
was angry all the way through when he
told his colleagues Of the county board
this morning what he thought Of one D.
a. Nc. .eeley, late courthouse elevator
operator who was discharged last week
for attempting to collect scent fares from
unsophisticated visitors to the court
house tower. Mr.. Nash presented the
affidavits Of one of the strangers, who in
sisted that McNeeley tried to hold them
up for cents apiece.
A letter from l.. S. Gillette informed the
board that the ferryman at the Narrows,
Lake Mnnetonka, had become SO dere-
lict that conditions were becoming ntol-
cradle. Mr.. Gillette asserted that the
ferryman was so careless about his lights
that serious accidents were likely to occur
at any time. Mr.. Gillette also asserted
that there was at present no way of tell
ing when the ferry cable was down or up
and that steamers were likely to en-
counter it at any time at night.

IL was repeated again and again this
morning that if Mr.. Jones would enter the

Ihere has seldom been such a spon-

only obstacle has been the disposition
of Acting Mayor Jones to stand by his

Here is a story that illustrates how the
reputation Of an attorney will travel out
side of his state. Last fall Charles H.
Peterson, a helper in the blacksmith shop
of the Chicago & North Western Railway
at Escanaba, Mich, received an injury
to his LETT foot by a truck falling upon it.
For nearly year he sought unsuccess-
fully to secure a settlement from the
company. Finally he wrote to Henry J.
Gjertsen of this city, who took up the case
and pushed it SO vigorously that he was
yesterday able to write to his client that
he had settled the claim for $2,750, which
is just nine times the amount the rail-
road company at any time offered Mr..
Peterson.
