A BANKRUPT.
John Nelson, Who Holds the
Position Of Receiver Of The
Land Office at Grand :
Forks, N. D.
Went into Bankruptcy, Saturday
After Borrowing from the
People Thousands Of
Dollars.

Saturday afternoon the doors
of John Nelson's general mer-
chandise store at this place
were closed and a sign posted
stating that he had been ad-
Judged a bankrupt.
For the past Is years John
Nelson has been in the gen
eral merchandise business in
this city. He has up to the
present time posed as an hon
est, upright man, a man who
would not stoop to trickery or
deceit. Under this guise he
has been able to. borrow money
for years on his straight note.
In a few instances he has had
some of his friends as signers
with him. He has borrowed
thousands of dollars in this
way from banks, business men,
laborers, women, in fact any
one and everyone he could in
duce to let him have money.
Probably the saddest case is
that of an old lady he has VIC
timized. This old lady, Mrs.
Carrie Abbott, a cripple and
too old to work, let Mr.. Nelson
have $1so-probably very
nearly her entire fortune-for
safe keeping. Many a time
has Nelson been before the
city council sin behalf Of this
old lady, to have her taxes
abated, and now he has turned
around and robbed her of her
little fortune.
It is one of the rankest fail
ures that has ever been known
in this city, and the people
have awakened to the fact
that John Nelson, instead of
being a respected citizen, has
proven himself to be just the
opposite.
What he has done with all
the money realized on these
notes can only be surmised.
He certainly could not have
sunk it in his business.
He hastened into the bank
ruptcy court and did not hesi-
tate to reserve for himself all

expects to remain in this city
and will build for himself an d
family a model residence in
the spring. He sincerely
hopes that those who have
patronized this hotel in the
past will do 90 in the future.
Mr.. Oslund. the new pro-
prietor, 10 a practical hotel
man, and if anyone can hold
the hade, he certainly can.

the law allowed. He reserved
his home in this city as his
homestead right, placing the
value at $500 lit is worth
nearer $4,000 )and took his ex-
emptions Of $1,000: He places
his assets at $40, ,12o.47 which
includes nneollectable ac-
counts to the: Amount of thou
ands of doliars) and his liza.
Mlities at ss7,9ss.ss. From
good authority it is stated his
creditors will not receive 20
cents on the dollar.
:, Still he will step out clear of
dlbt, with; a home valued at
the lowest $4,000, with $1,000 in
cash and shis present position
which pays him some $4,000
per year.
Following is a partial list of
the creditors filed by Mr.. Mel
son in the bankruptcy court.
There are a great many more
claims that will probably be
filed at the first meeting of the
creditors.

that we may be fed and cared
for as we'll by our new landlord
in the future as we have been
by you in the past.
Very sincerely yours,

it at moments notice.
