the whereabouts Of Charles G. Spore,
the Vincennes, Ind, immigrant, who
had been missing for several days. His
body was found in the weeds about a
mile from WATERFOWL, Wis, Saturday

cause for his suiciding has been found

ASK FOR A RECEIVER.
Harrison Telephone Company Is De-
clarcd to Be lnsoIvent,

Deadwood, S. D., May 13.-Fore-
closure suit has been started by the
Royal Trust company Of Chicago
against the Harrison Telephone COM
pany, and on the request of the trust
company Clarence E. Cook has .,a IN
appointed receiver Of the telephone
company by Judge w. G. Rice, judge
Of the Eighth judicial circuit of South
Dakota. The Harrison Telephone
company issued $1,000 0 in bonds in
November, 1901, the bonds being Sc
cured by he Royal Trust company.
h telephone company defaulted in
The payment Of interest, hence the suit
In foreclosure and the application for
receiver.
Mr.. Cook, who is receiver, has for
several months been general manager
tor the company, and his brother of
Chicago claims to be the holder of
$4,000 Of the bonds. There is a dispute
among the bondholders and the fore
closure suit Is likely to become con-
nderably complicated. Howard D,
Maize of Chicago purchased the Harri-
son Telephone company in 1901 of
Thomas Whitaker, George Cornwall
and others, and it was he who negoti-
ated the bonds, pledging his stock for
them. AS soon as the suit in fore
closure is determined the is
to be entirely reorganized.
The Harrison Telephone
was organized seven years ago. and
built the most extensive system in
western South Dakota, some of its lines
-unning over into Wyoming.
