TRUSTEES FRAUD
Start Suit Against Bankers Wife For
$ll3,650.

Trustees of the M. K. Armstrong
bankrupt estate have brought two
actions against Mrs. Martha Arm
strong in which they ask that the court
give them judgment in the sum Of
sl13,650. The property which they
claim for the benefit of creditors of
Mr.. Armstrong includes residences in
various parts of the city, claimed to
be of the value of S13, $50, and also the
Park Hotel, the value Of which is
placed at 100000.
In the first case the plaintiffs allege
that for more than 20 years M. K.
Armstrong has been engaged in the
business of private banker; that when
he began business he had little or no
money of his own. That he received
large sums of money from depositors
! for which he became indebted to such
depositors. That he so managed his
banking business as to become and
remain insolvent, and that on Nov.
"a, 1908, he was adjudged a bankrupt.
That during all this time the defendant,
| Martha Armstrong, knew of his fnan-
cial standing, and was aware that he
was insolvent all that time. That at
various times said M. K. Armstrong,
knowing he was insolvent, has bought
and paid for large amounts of real
property which he has fraudulently
conveyed to said defendant, receiving
no consideration therefor.
The trustees demand that all the
property be. transferred to them for
the benefit of the creditors of M. K.
Armstrong bankrupt.
The other case is similar, except
4 that it is alleged that for the past ten
years defendant has been the owner OF
the Park hotel. That said M. K. Arm
strong expended and paid out in
erecting said hotel, furnishing and i'm
proving the same the sum OF $50, 600,
and that said defendant knew he was
insolvent, and permitted such i'm
provements to be made on her proper
ty with view of defrauding the cred
itors of said M. K. Armstrong.
Judgment is demanded against the
i defendant in the sum of 100000.
The case will probably come on fol-
hearing at the October term OF court.

TROLLEY LINE IN PROSPECT
Electric Road to Run Through
Here Projected.
Boston Capitalist Writes a Letter
of Inquiry.
Mayor Chas. Silverson Sends an
Encouraging Answer.

Boston capitalists are considering
plans for the construction of an cleo
trio road to run through a number of
cities in this section of Minnesota, if
a letter from one of their number is
any Indication. Mayor Charles Sill
version has received an inquiry which
would seem to point in this direction
and if the wishes of the chief execu-
tive of the city are carried out New
Ulm will one day be a station on an
interurban trolley line. He has for
warded an encouraging reply to the
eastern people and expects to hear
from them further within a few days.
Edward W. Capen, 189 Devonshire
street, Boston, is the party who has
opened correspondence with the may
or. Under date of June 18th he wrote
as follows:
sit has occurred to me and my as
sociates that perhaps your city and
railway lines put in for the accommo-
dation of it's people. If so, will you
be kind enough to mention what points,
in your opinion, the line should con-
Inject and also, please, any other inter
esting facts which have presented
themselves to your mind.
Having this information at hand
will permit us to take the subject up
further with you at once"
To the above Mayor Silverson re-
! piled in terms which should prove sat-
isfactory to Mr.. Capen and his con
freres. The mayor gave them a very
thorough outline of the transportation
situation and gave as his opinion that
the venture would by no means be a
hazardous one. His views are sci
forth in the following:
"In reply to your favor of the 18th
inst: Yes, we are DESTROYS of having
an electric street railway line put into
our city in connection with other cities
in this vicinity. For instance we have
a string of villages east and west O.
US, north and south. We have pop
ulation of over 5000 people, and tn.
country is very thickly settled, anoth.
er little town six miles east of US
CORTLAND, another little town eigh
miles east of that, and ten miles cas-
of that is another good-sized LITTLE
town, ST. Peter; then comes Mankato
about five miles east of that, and ives
of US is Sleepy Eye, quite a nice littl
: town, and it certainly would be desir
}, able to have an electric line of stree
: cars run through these villages, and
in course of time, I think it would b
a very valuable Investment. We ais
have north and south of us numerou
5 enterprising villages.
} II will cheerfully do anything [ ca
for you, for think it would be an ad
vantage to our city, as well as to your
G selves. I am from Cincinnati, and

that our people up here travel NOR

THINK They WERE FRISkED
Aldermen Suspect Coal Men OF
Bunco Tactics.
Vexatious Fuel Problem Discussed
at Special Session.
1t Appears That City Paid Higher
Than Market Price.

Members of the city council are be-
ginning to believe that they have been
up against a game that has three-card
monte beaten to a pulp. They suspect
that the coal men who submitted bids
to supply the station have employed
fim-fam tactics, and Disseminated
against the city in the matter of prices.
Saturday evening at a special session
of the local legislature this interesting
phase of the vexatious fuel problem
was discussed at length and the alder
men finally came to the conclusion
that they had been compelled to pay
"agent's commission when nothing
of the sort was visible to the naked
eye.
Saturday nights meeting was called
to consider the application of Filzen
& Sturm for transfer of liquor
license. This was granted and a
building permit issued to VIM. ANIME
to erect a brick dwelling on State
street. An invitation for the mayor
and council to participate in the
Fourth of July parade was accepted
and complaint as to the condition
of the Northwestern stocky ards referred
to the board of health.

to the communication of the Boston
man is, of course, matter for the
future to determine. While he does
not so state in his letter, it is inferred
that he is one of the parties who have
for some time past been negotiating
with people at Mankato to build line
there. In that city the electric road
proposition has been before the pub
lie for number of years and in a
variety of forms. One plan was to
construct a purely street railway, a
second to build between st. Peter and
Mankato, while third would aim to
tap the several lake resorts near the
former. There have, in addition, been
whispers at long intervals of connect
ing this place and Mankato by trolley.
None of the ideas have been devel-
oped thus far, principally because of
the fact that st. Peter merchants and
business men have looked askance at
the building of a road which might
have a tendency to carry the bulk of
the business to the larger town. On
one or two occasions they have given
visiting promoters very chilly recep-
tons but it is possible that if the line
were extended beyond st. Peter they
would come to regard it as benefit.
If it can be shown that the first cost of
construction will not be too large, nor
the operating expenses too heavy,
then wealthy residents of the cities
and villages through which the road
will pass can come forward and org an
ize rapid transit company with suf-
fcient capital to construct and main
tain an electric line capable of com
peting with the railroads in this terri
tory.
From New Ulm viewpoint the pro-
ject is superior to the proposed Min
nesota Central railway and it would
probably be more simple task to in
terest local people in it than in the
north and south trunk line. In any
event, Mayor Silverson has given the
promoters a conservative statement
and it is now up to them to make some
definite declaration.

During the siege Of Ladysmith in
the Boer war, Henry w. Nevinson and
the late T. w. Maud, British war cor
respondent, were walking up the main
road of the village when they caught
dght of a black thing moving rapidly
across the road close in front of their
feet. It was about three feet long or
q little less and was moving very
swiftly. In perfectly straight line
it darted forward, without the usual
snake-like wriggling or other visible
means of movement. Accustomed
from boyhood to hunt adders on the
Cumberland moors, Nevinson dashed
upon it with his stick and broke its
back with a single blow. Neverthe-
less, it still continued to move for
ward, as snakes will, no matter how
desperately wounded, and the war cor
respondent sprang on it's head ao1
stamped it into the dust with his boot.
At the same time Maud, who had only
Just perceived the danger, stamped on
it's back. The long and deadly body
gave a few little jerks and then lay
will. The snake was carefully lifted
Oh the end of stick, carried back to
the cottage, where the two men lived,
and carefully deposited outside for fu-
ture examination.

When the lessons and tasks are all ended
The little ones gather around me.
To bid me goodnight and be kissed,
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
My neck in their tender embrace!
Oh, the smiles that are haloes of heaven,
Shedding sunshine OF love on my face!
And when they are gone sit dreaming,
OF my childhood too lovely to last,
OF joy that my heart will remember,
While it wakes to the pulse of the past
Ere the world and it's Wickedness made
me
A partner of sorrow and sin,
When the glory of God was about me,
And the glory Of gladnesS within.
All my heart grows as weak as
woman's.
And the fountains of feeling will flow,
When I think of the paths steep and
stony
Where the feet of the dear ones must
go;
OF the mountains of sin hanging DER
them,
OF the tempest of fate blowing wild;
AS the innocent heart Of child.
They are Idols Of hearts and Of house,
They are angels of God in disguise:
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes;
Those truants from home and from
heaven,
They have made me more manly and
mild;
And 1 know now how Jesus could liken
The kingdom Of God to a child.
