GRIGGS IN SEMI-FlNALS.
st. Paul Rink Has Chance Of Cap
turing the Grand Chal-
lenge Trophy.

The three big competitions in the Win
nipeg bonspiel, the Grand Challenge the
Brunswick and the American-Abell, have
all rea ched the seni-final stage, and in the
challenge Griffith, the Glenboro crack
has reached the finals and is waiting for
the winner of the Mawhnney-G riggs con-
test to give him battle for the possession
Of the premier trophy OF the spiel.
So far as can be learned from the curl
ing headquarters it is likely that the spiel
is, if McConaghy Of Neepawa will allow
himself to be knocked out Of one or two
events. His rink is at present in four
contests. and if he can keep up his pres
ent winning streak the finals in some Of
them will have to be pulled off on Mon
day.
I In the Grand Challenge there are three
Kinks. Griffiths of Glenlooro is in the fin
ais where he got by virtue of defeating
Werner of the GRANTEES, and Grggs of ST.
Paul and Mawhinney of Holland were
down to play off their semi-tlnal game
this morning.
I Pace Of the thistles is the only man
vet to reach the senni-finals in the Amer
ican-Abell. while Smith of Regina and
Craig of Virden are in the eighths
/ Winnipeg stands an excellent chance of
retaining the Brunswick trophy for An
derson of the Assinaboines and Bladen of
the thistles have already reached the
semi finals while DR.. Jameson is in the
,eighths. The other competitions have
made excellent progress. and 1t is likely
that the semi-fnals will be reached this
evening and the finals tomorrow.

Cooperative Turf Investment Com
panies Of St. Louis Are
Going Under Fast.
Grand Jury Postpones All Business
to Go After Get Rich-Quick
Concerns.

AT the end Of the third days run on the
cooperative turf investment companies
of St Louis by investors demanding the
return of their deposits the results are:
E j. Arnold & Co., all payments sus-
pended.
John j. Ryan & Co., all payments sus-
pended.
international Investment company, all
payments suspended.
Christy Syndicate Investment company,
all payments suspended.
United Turf Investment company, office
closed.
Grand jury investigation of investment
company methods of transacting business.
Crowds of men and women, eager to
regain their investments, sufged into the
offices Of the various investment COM
panies yesterday. and all were doomed to
disappointment excepting the information
al Investment company's investors.
About 2:30 this company suspended pay
ments and demanded the stipulated thirty
days notice of withdrawal The United
Turf Investment company did not open it's
offices yesterday, ad a sign on the door
announced that payments had been sus-
pended indefinitely.
Investors in the firm Of John J. Ryan
& Co. received some hope from the arrival
of Manager j. J. Ryan from Cincinnati.
The hope was soon dissipated, for he
nounced that the firm was unable to meet
the demands for Withdrawals.
The investors in E. J. Arnold & Co.
generally stated they had given up all
hopes Of recovering anything. This was
| the first concern to suspend business.
Late yesterday afternoon the February
| grand jury dropped all other business in
order to take up the investigation of the
| turf investment companies.
| Ryan was summoned to appear before
that body and a similar subpoena was is
sued for the appearance of Arnold, but
the latter is reported to be in Hot
| Springs.
| The ''get rich quick concerns occupy
! the center of the stage again at the New
/ Orleans fair grounds, the board of stew
ards handing down its first ruling bear
| ing on them. The ruling was a S follows,
I addressed to the secretary:
I'm future refuse all entries from z. J..
! Arnold & Co.. and all other CO. cooperative
| racing firms pending positive proof that
| the horses Of said stables are the indi-
vidual property Of the parties officially
| registered as owners"
| This ruling naturally follows the dec
| laration of E. J. Arnold & Co. to the effect
that each and every stockhoder in his
concern was a partner. The rules of the
| Western Jockey club are too specific on
| this question of the ownership of horses
to permit of doubt and the suspension Of
/ Arnolds stable was taken as a matter of
course. .....

A FERGUS FALLS JUNKEI.
Made by the House and Senate Com
mittecs on Hospitals for
the Insane.

Fergus Falls was invaded yesterday by
tine senate and house committees on hos
pitfalls for the insane and other legislators
interested in, these state institutions. The
greater part OF the day was spent at the
hospital, which was carefully Inspected in
every detail. 5f
. The Fergus Falls hospital is the largest
in the state, being the home of about 1.45O
demented creatures and about zoo attend
ants. Two members of the party who

management stating that everything in

tive ability on the part Of the head Of the
institution. DR.. George Q. WEIGH and good
intelligence and discipline among the
members of his big staff.
The inspection of the hospital was most
instructive and intensely interesting to all
the visitors, though the many sad scenes
depressed the stoutests hearts.
There is at present lack of room in
the institution, and quite a number Of the
tpatientss are compelled to sleep on mat

doris. A cottage for the nurses and guards

any to remain very long.
An Evening Entertainment.
In the evening the visitors were the
guests of the Chippewa club at an infor-
NAL reception and dance. The affair was
a distinct surprise. The clubrooms are
