SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION.
Assets of Consolidated Lake Superior
Company Bought In by Speyer
and Company.

New York, Dec. 16.-The assets of
pany, held by Speyer & Co. for loan
Of $5,050,000, were bought in at public
auction by Speyer & Co. Tuesday for
$4,5OO,0OO. Theirs was the only bid.
The sale was held in spite of several
protests by representatives of other
creditors.
Former President Clergue, of the
Consolidated Lake Superior company;
Director Hay, of the Imperial Bank of
Canada, and Charles E. Orvis, of this
city, a director of the Lake Superior
company, were present.
Objections to the sale were submitted
by a lawyer representing Frances
c: Dawson, of this city, owner
of 100 shares of Lake Superior
common and so shares of pre-
ferred, on the ground that the Speyer
loan had been contracted without the
knowledge or consent of the stockhold-
ers, and was, therefore, illegal; also by
the Stanley Electric company, of Pitts
field, Mass. which recently filed a me-
chanics' lien for $1,000 for machinery;
another by the legal representatives of
Receiver J. G. Garuth, of Philadelphia,
and still another by Foley Bros,
Porter & Whalen, of Philadelphia,
who claim to have lien on the Algoma
& Hudson Bay company, one of the
Lake Superior constituent companies.
Just before the auctioneer asked for
bids he was served with a notice that
suit had been begun in the state SUI
preme court to set aside the sale. James
Speyer declined to say what disposition
the syndicate contemplates making of
the collateral now owned outright. Re-
plying to further questions, Mr.. Speyer
and Charles Tweed said that to the best
of their knowledge the United States
Steel corporation would have no inter-
est whatever in the property.

Journal of last evening springs a sensa-
ton relative to the discovery of gold near

'"Th most startling information Of this
year came to representative of this
paper this morning when the announce
ment was made to the effect that what
is believed to be gold has been struck on
a farm within three miles of this city in
paying quantities. A quantity of the ore
has been gathered and sent away to be
assayed, and the owner, well known
farmer, is anxiously awaiting the result.
The other day the owner of an Oklahoma
county farm while going over his property
with a friend discovered what he believed
to be gold, and the friend claiming to be
somewhat Of an expert pronounced that
it was gold. The owner of the land seri-
ousiy believes that he has discovered
gold on his place, but will not know just
what he has until the report comes from
the assayer. If the find proves to be gold
the story will be given in detail in the

TRiUMPHS OF 1902.

Seldom if ever in any one year of the
history of the world have so many i'm
pcrtant events of universal interest taken
place. America, England. Germany and
France have each participated. The Pres
ident of the United States welcomed and
entertained II. r. II. Prince Henry, of
Prussia, at the White House, Edward the
VII was crowned King of England and
Emperor of India, the German Emperor
had his American-built yacht, Meteor, -
christened; France had the unveiling of
the Reehambeau Statue, and at all func-
tiOns attending these celebrations Moet
& Chandon's Champagne was used exclu-
sively. This indeed is an unparalleled
record, which is proof positive of the su-
periority and popularity of the renowned
brand of Moet & Chandon White Seal.

BLAINE COUNTY JUSTICE.
Judge eeauchamp's Charge to Grand
Jury Bears Fruit.

Watonga, o. t., March 26.-District
court is still in session in this county.
The grand jury has completed its work
and has been dismissed. After being
sent back by Judge Beauchamp the jury
was able to bring in five indictments
against gamblers. These cases are set
for Friday. The trying Of these cases will
be an interesting feature Of the term.
Judge Beauchamp has been making an
effective crusade against gamblers and
has succeeded in driving the slot machine
out of Blain county. This is the first time
that the grand jury has found indict-
ments against the gamblers, and it is
conceded that Judge Beauchamp's lecture
to the jurors had much to do with the
bringing of the indictments at this time.
Among other criminal cases to be tried
this week are Territory VS. Edwards, the
man who shot Dancy. colored man, at
Eagle City, and Territory VS.. Ewes, who
was convicted of stealing horses but

BURGLARS USE KEYS.
Get $50 Cash and 5000 Checks for
Their Work

FL Reno. o. T., March 26.-Burglars
were at work again in the city last
night, says the American. The office of
Kicker & Spring was entered and about
$50 in cash and 500 in checks was taken
from the vault. The outer door of the
vault was not locked. but the inner one
was, which necessitated a key TO open it.
The money drawer was taken out and
the inner door was locked again. The
screen and back window were unlatched,
probably for the purpose Of making their
escape had they been bothered. They
evidently had a skeleton key for the
front door and thoroughly understood the
lay of the grounds. as nothing was mo-
Tested in the office or near the windows,
which shows that keys were used.
The citizens are raising a sum of $50
this afternoon for the arrest or inforna-
tion leading to the arrest of the robbers
who have been getting in their work so
regularly in El Reno for the past month.
