Securities company, Messrs. Hill, Nor
gan, ETC., would by this time have had
the stocks of Northern Securities scat
tered abroad much as Morgan scat
tered United States Steel. They had
started very nicely to place 1t In Eng
land and in Holland, when the attor-
ney general unexpectedly started the
suit.
So the plan was spoiled entirely.
Now they are looking for some meth
cd of tenure that will create for them
a security Endorsed by the government
as legal beyond q doubt, yet will per-
nit them to keep the voting securi-
ties of Northern Pacific and Great
Northern in their own hands. The
problem is not very difficult to solve.
There was only one copy OF the de-
cision in existence, namely the one
that Judge Harlan read from. It was
partly printed on the typewriter and
partly written by hand. No part of 1t
was entrusted beyond the private sec
rotary of Judge Harlan.
The lawyers can do nothing until
they get this decree.
After that there will be a thousand
little details to be looked into. In all
probability, the result Of this inquiry
will be made known in circular let
!! ter to the stockholders of record OF
Northern Securities some day next
week or the week after, when Mr.. Hill
will announce to his people what is to
be done and when.
In the meantime, the stock seems
to get along by itself very well indeed.
No one appears to be handling it for
the controlling interests. To see the
way they trade in it no one could
| imagine that it was an outlaw, with
out legal existence, without even a
name under the law.

BODY BURIED IN SNOW
ILLINOIS MAN ROBBED AND
MURDERED AT KENOSHA, WIS.
CHICAGO WOMAN INVOLVED
IN CRIME.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Kenosha, Wis, March 21.-The po-
lice are making an effort to discover
the identity of a beautiful Chicago
woman who came to Kenosha ten
days ago and impersonated the wife
OF Andrew Swanson, farmen Of Ell
gin, III.
The body Of Swanson was found
buried in a snowdrift in a lonely
piece of woodland, mile and a half
west of the city. Wounds on the head
show that it would have been impos-
sible for him to have committed sui
eide.
The Chicago woman came with
Swanson to Kenosha ten days ago,
| and before notary signed a deed as
his wife. The transfer of the prop
erty was made and Swanson received
a large sum. Later the real wife OF
the man discovered the trick, and,
coming to Kenosha, forced Swanson
to pay her a. portion Of the money.
With the coming Of the real Mrs
| Swanson the Chicago woman disap-
peared and no trace has since been
found Of her.
Swanson left his hotel week ago
saying he was going to Elgin. At that
| time he had the money which he had
received from the property, as well
as a mortgage valued at several hun
dred dollars. When his body was
| found yesterday there was nothing OF
value in the pockets, and his rifled
purse was found near where the body
lay.

I. II. Lovelace, one time editor
of the Courier, has lost his posi-
tion with the Fulton Leader, and
will soon leave for Washington.
He could not refrain from taking
a parting shot at the Courier,
however, by giving publicity to
the Columbus Critics infamous
lies to the extent of the papers
circulation. LOvelace was in a
position to know, and did know,
that the Critics statements are
utterly without fact, and his pub
LEGATION of them was done in a
spirit of spite. Ever since his
second and final discharge from
the Courier he has held an imag-
mary grievance against the pro-
prietors of this paper, holding
them responsible for his incom.
potency. He has not hurt the
Courier by his many despicable,
back biting tricks; but instead
he has revealed to the community
which tolerates his citizenship
mind so narrow and principle
so infinitely small that they are
barely visible under the micro
scope. Ia his present condition
he is to be pitied more than con-
demned, and for that reason the
editor of the Courier has refrain
ed from roasting" him as his
actions merit. Lovelace is yet
a young man, with much to learn,
but his greatest trouble is that
--ae cannot be made to understand
mat TINS Is SO. We nope TO See
him grow into a useful member
OF society, but 1t will require
a little study, some association
with men and considerable emu
lation on his part to bring about
such an evolution. We hold no
luminosity against Lovelace, and
would be pleased to see him get
a job, and hold both it and his
tongue-not for the Courier's
sake; but his own.

amending the hunting laws that
