Patrons Losses Swell the s'Roll. ,

There is little news in review Of Ham

schemes. but the people Of the northwest
are so sorry for Mr.. Hammond and SO
fearful that he may leave them as he did

mess apparently increases. AS Ham
mond's profits are made up entirely from
the losses Of patrons of his various
branches, the good, kind people Of Min

millions Of dollars to support scheme
that differs none in principle from the

luxury of whose society the great states
of the northwest are willing to retain. So
long as the people furnish the "bank-

Perhaps the best authority upon mat

of fraud in commerce and finance is the
book entitled "Gold Bricks Of Specula-

book embraces practically everything
that had gone before with relation to
the general subject and includes the
the pen Of John Hill, Jr., of Chicago,
who is known to every man in the legit-
innate grain trade, the country over.
Mr., Hill, member of the Chicago
Board Of Trade, was for many years a
member Of the quotation committee of
that body, and later became chairman
of the antibucketshop. committee. His

contact with fraud schemes Of every

to say that T h e j ournal has con

ground that its business was illegiti

How the Bank Roll Speaks.

The "bank-rOlP' speaks thru the COL
umns Of newspapers. 1t defies the legiti-
mate brokers, millers and exchanges. It's
boldness excites the admiration of the
thoughtless, who rush to the "seventy-
five branches to hand in their money,
which is Immediately telegraphed to
headquarters to swell the '.bank-roll"-
to give power and immunity to George j.
Hammond. which he can enjoy only so
long as the 'bank-roll'' buys it for him.
And the Coe Commission company is
simply another name for George J. Ham
mond; for when the Coe Commission COM
pany was established two or three years
ago. Hammond Was tinid; he did not like
to use his own name; he had not tested
as yet the magic, effect of a, ''bank-roll'
on the people Of the northwest; he did
not know it's efficacy.
Then again, the name Of George J..
Hammond was nothing to be proud of, as
the Chicago papers had informed the peo-
pie of the country that man had carried
that name away from Chicago, together
with the funds Of 'get-rich-quick,' con-
Germ known as the Combination Invest
| ment company. The money, the man and
the name had disappeared between two
| days of December, 1899. Hammond was
president Of the Combination Investment
company, and. as such, probably assumed
that he had a right to the assets. He
tried to get them all, but a. lucky acct
! dent saved the creditors per cent. as
shown by the following from the Chicago
Tribune March Z, 1901):
Creditors Get 8 Per Cent.

1t is expected that a special inspec-

friends of Mr.. Wayland that the fight
was instituted by friends of Beavers
and Irwin, the two men connected
with the rural free delivery who were
convicted of fraud through the work of
Mr.. Wayland.
His friends say that owing to the
fact that he is very strict in the en-
forcement of the rules, it was easy for
the two men he convicted of fraud to

dismissal.

WITNESS LEAVES NEW ULM
Man Who Swore to Seeing "Murder
Hammer" at Rocks, Is Gone.

NEW ULM, Mimi, April 15.-Ed-
gar Dingler left this city for parts un-
known last week, and is being hunt
ed for by the prosecution in the case
of the state VS.. DR.. G. R. Koch.
He is the witness who swore that he
had seen the hammer in the Koch barn
and also on the window in the house,
and is the only witness the state had
to connect the hammer with Koch. He
left the city in company with another
young fellow and it is said made the
statement that ne was going to North
Dakota, and that if the state wanted
him for a witness it would have to
come where he was.
He was subpenaed to appear at the
next trial at the time all other VIII
nesses were, and it is presumed he
has left because ne does not want TO
be a witness. He was working mere
every day and making as much money
as ne would at any other place. Some
persons are disposed to lay his absence
to work done by men connected VITA
the defense. but there seems to be no
grounds for this suspicion.
