lection Of their interests.
Bondholders Overcome Obstacles.
The bondhoIders thereupon proceed
ed last night to make arrangements
elsewhere for the publication Of an edi-
tion this morning and that edition, re-
duced in size, but resembling as far as
possible The Times itself, was put upon
the street at little after 8 O'Clock
this morning. The representatives Of
the bondholders made a demand upon
the Associated Press for a copy Of last
night s report. The Associated Press
operators asked for instructions and
were told to deliver the report to The
Times company, or If they couldn't find
any Times company, to deliver it at
The Times building.
While, as previously stated, precau-
tions had been taken to lock every door
of the Times so that entrance could not
be effected by the messenger. carrying
the report, he found the door to the ar
cade open and delivered the report up
to midnight in the arcade.
The representatives Of the bondhold-
ers were on the lookout and gathered up
this report, which they had edited and
put in type and printed this morning.
The Times Checkered Career.
Today's peculiar developments add
another chapter to the checkered his:
tory Of the Minneapolis Times. The pa.
per is sixteen years old. It was started
in October, 1889, by G. A. Nimocks and
manager and Dunn had charge of the
business. John Blanchard was editor

Gray night editor and R. X: Whitley
city editor: The paper was first issued

a representative Of T h e j urnal. He
afterward formed d stock company ane
maze the paper completely independent
/ His ambitions for the paper, were large
and he Bonded it in order to construct {
building for the Times at 112-114 Fourth
street S. While the building was unde:
construction he went to New York a
business manager of the New Yorl
Journal, and from there to Boston a
general manager of the Herald. -
Two years ago Colonel Haskell mad
a deal with R. B. Thurston to becom
business manager Of the Times wit
some stock interest also. Soon afte
there was a sale or an attempted sale o
the paper to H. V. Jones and some as
sociates. The Times was in the throe
of excitement for while. Two fnan
cial groups wanted the paper and a sti1
legal contest was threatened, but com
promise was made whereby the Jone
party withdrew. .t.~s
