Effort to Force the Arnold Company
into Bankruptcy,
The Manager Says He Is Ruined
Stories Of Arnold
Himself.
REPORTED HE HAS SKIPPED

It seems that the E. J. Arnold Co.
OF st. Louis, which has branch Office
here in charge of Mr. Spaulding, in
the Columbia building, is in hard
lines.
Proceedings in bankruptcy have
been filed against the concern at St.
Louis, which ties it up, The mau-
ager, Mr.. L. A. Gill, is quoted as hsv.
ing said:
81 am still confident that we are
solvent and good for every dollar we
owe. We were trying to get in
enough cash to stand the storm, but
now we are killed.
II am worried ana sick and would
have run if l could. My whole per-
sonal fortune was invested in this con-
Germ, and il we are ruined l am a
bankrupt.
81 don't know when Mr.. Arnold
will come, and don't see what he
could accomplish by coming. for this
bankruptcy matter has parslyzed us. /"
As Mr.. Gill spoke he showed great
agitation, and frequently wiped the
tears from his eyes.
1t is said that the local manager T,
Mr.. Spaulding, who went to st. Louis
day before yesterday, had $1,000 in
In the concern.
One report circulated in st. Louis,
according to the dispatches, is that it
is believed by some that f. J. Arnold
In none other than Jim" Davis, a
horseman and gambler Of Arkansas,
who got into trouble in Arkansas over
an alleged overlapping game, and
Davis was arrested in connection with
1t. Several years ago Jim" Davis
went to st. Louis and stopped at the
Roster hotel, it is said. He was known
by the name of Davis to Q number Of
guests, and by his genial ways made
friends rapidly. Afterward Davis left
town, and later the e. J. Arnold COD
oern opened with 3 promise to pay in
vestors per cent a week year for
their money.
A prominent city official, who knew
Gambler Davis well, met him on the
street about this time and introduced
him to some friends as Mr.. Davis.
Davis, declared one of the party,
Davis? Why, this is not Mr.. Davis;
this is E. ]. Arnold"
Arnold seemed very much embar.
rsssed ana turned the conversation
into some other channel Jimmy"
Cunningham, a well known specula-
tor. is among those who believe that
Arnold aud Davis are the same man.
Another report circulated is that
over . million dollars in cash has been
put away"
One rumor had it that Arnold him
self had gone to Toronto, Canada. and
that he had over a million dollars in
cash with him, but this could not be
verified.

NO ACTION TAKEN.
THE LIGHT COMMITTEE HELD
INFORMAL MEETING.

Alderman Chsmblin and Council.
men Voolfolk and Hummel met Las.
night IN the council chamber TO dis.
ouss the electric lighting system here,
and to see what could be done In the
way of remedying the defective sys-
TEN.
These gentlemen, with several 9th
ers, compose the light committee Of
the two boards and had summoned Su-
perintendent Harry Wallace, Of the
light plant, before them to give his
statement as to the condition OF the
lighting system and plant. There were
several members Of the committee alb
sent, and the meeting was not held
but Superintendent Wallace made a
short explanation in which. he stated
that Q majority Of the lights now In
use were second hand when bought.
He said that il the city would buy the
enclosed lamp which have two globes
and are freely protected from the
winds, that the lighting system will
then be in good condition. He ex-
planned that the globes on the old
lamps do not protect the carbon from
the winds. The three gentlemen took
no action and will wait for better
to hold the meeting and
more fully look into the matter.
