The two gentlemen, and that the
company has never correctly quoted
the chamber of commerce prices.
TO this end, they have instructed
u essrs. Wilson & Mercer, the
\ legal advisers OF the chamber. and
| the former member, Senat 1r George
| 2. Wilson, at one time attorney
general of Minnesota, to prepare
the papers in suit against the Coe
Commission Co. to recover the
amount paid in by the two gen.
tlemen referred to. In the mean
time, the two who have lost have
employed Messrs. Bowers & How
ard as local attorneys and advisers
of the Minneapolis firm. The case,
if tried at all, will be before a jury
of Redwood county citizens. The
company may settle in the mean
time.
The complaint charges that the
company used fraud in getting the
plaintiffs to become their customers
by representing to them that the
company would give them actual
chamber of commerce prices at the
same instant that the prices were
posted in Minneapolis, and that
they really did not give those
quotations. The ''jockeying" of
prices is charged against the com
pany, and on the whole the COM
plant charges the latter with being
nothing more than a gambling Joint,
in which the company is the largest
part of the Monte Carlo.
At the last session OF the legis-
lature the chamber of commerce
to get bill making it
for "bucket-shops" to
exist. The bill was introduced into
the senate by Henry Gjertsen, and
into the house by Mr.. Erickson of
Yellow Medicine. Mr.. Gjertsen s
bill was ''jockeyed" considerable in
the senate, but finally passed as the
chamber wished it to. 1t came into
the house and was sent to the
house committee on general legisla-
ton. There it was wellreceived, but

THEY DO PLAY BALL.
Wednesdays Game Demonstrated that
Glencoe Players Play Ball.

Jungclaus, the Glencoe left fielder,
broke one of the bones of his left leg,
while making a dash for the home
plate in the sixth inning of the
game on Wednesday, It was a
forced play, Varcoe knocking a
fielder's choice with every base
covered, Jungclaus being on third.
The latter made dash for home,
but the ball beat him out. He ran
into Timm, the catcher, stricking
his knee against Timm s leg with
an awful force. Jungclaus fell to
the ground He was picked up
and carried to the bench, where
DR.. Schlegel did some temporary
bandage work, an9 them he was
removed to his room in the hotel,
where the dressing twas finished
1t was bone that had been broken
before, and the young imam will re-
cover soon.
This is about all the information
that a local patriot cares to tell
about the game, but there is another
tale. Glencoe not only proved it's
superior ball playing ability, but
Redwood was given one of the
worst drubbings ever received-a
measly shut-out that made the
Waterloo all the worse. It needs

decline. In case it increased the
customer would be the gamer until
he decided to sell. In case the
customer wanted to sell short, that
is, was of the opinion that certain
commodity or stock, was going
down, and wanted to make money
on the short sale, he would have to
pay the margin in order to protect
the purchase in case the commodity
should rise in value, and when the
margin was exhausted anew margin
would have to be paid, or the COM
modify would have to be closed out.
The two gentlemen in question, in
company with other residents
of this city, were induced by the
Coe Commission Co. to buy and
sell wheat, stocks, ETC., through
the office at this place, on the repre-
sentation that Minneapolis chamber
of commerce prices would be given
as rapidly as they were posted on
the black boards of the pit in that
chamber. These dealings have been
covering quite an extended period,
in fact, ever since the company put
in an Office at this place about one
year ago. There were no serious
"bites" up to several weeks ago,
the customers investing moderately,
paying the commission company
$3.50 on every 500 invested, and
realizing about equally. At times
there would be vim ings, at othe

times losses, and frequently the
customers would cash in at about
an even rate, the company all the
time getting its 50, 80 on every $40
for running expenses. One or two
customers, it is reported, pulled
out fairly well ahead and quit the
game, and this only encouraged
other customers to plunge in
heavier.
Several weeks ago the two gentle
men mentioned plunged in very

railroad stock Wheat, instead o.

loser mourning a loss amount

quite tired of the continual calls 10

was wrong, compared the quota

or IS cities of Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Wisconsin and
other states, among the cities being
Redwood Falls and Marshall, is the

charging the company with having
"feeced" two well-known and
prominent parties of this city out OF
various sums amounting in the
aggregate to nearly 100000.

no space to tell how it was done-it
was done to perfection, and by
Glencoe playing game of ball that
would be credit to any diamond,a
only one error being chalked up
against the club
There wasn't any great swiping
OF the ball. No one made any better
than single. Glencoe only got
five of them, while Redwood got
only two. 1t was error after error,
loose playing that would make a
pitcher heart ache, that gave
Glencoe ten runs, when the club,
like Redwood, wasn't entitled to a
score. 1t was base on balls, too,
and in this, both Francois and
Gleason were bad, but Gleason
would settle down when it grew
serious, and with superb support,
kept his opponents from scoring.
Francois gave five men first base
by hitting them with the pitched
ball, and three men base on balls.
Gleason made one present on the
former rule and eight on the latter,
total of nine. Francois dropped
out in the fifth, and Mead finished
the game
The Glencoe band commenced
playing in third inning, when three
scores we're secured, four men
getting first on being hit by the
pitched ball, and one on four balls
going shy Of the plate. Two more
were again marked up in the fifth
on two hits, passed ball and an
error. Ia the sixth the last three
runs were secured, Kehrer getting
base on passed ball. Gleason on
a silver plate and Varcoe on a
fielder S choice, which followed by
a muff of fly bail by center field,
made the -go-round whistle
for the amusement of the Glencoe
aggregation. After that there was
no more music-except chin music.
