THE CARDIFF
Giant.
.istory of a Gigantic Fraud of
The Past Century.

Surrounded by a happy family of
children and grandchildren, Michael
Foley this city, enjoyed his eighty third
anniversi ry, with good chance for par
ticipating ia many to come, says Fort
Dodge, Ia. correspondent of the st.
Paul Dispatch. Mr.. Foley has lived a
quiet life for many years, but remembers
well the time when he was engaged to
quarry rock which was afterWaEd made
into the Cardiff Giant, one OF the most
colossal frauds ever perpetrated upon
an transporting public.
1t was ia the month Of July, 1868, that
two men. one giving his name as Hull, of
Syracuse, n Y, and the other Martin,
claiming to hail from Cedar Rapids, en-
gagged quarters at the old ST. Charles
Hotel in this city. They pretended to
be studying geographical conditions
about Fort Dodge. They made several
Inquiries as to where they could find
large ledge of gypsum rock. They even
went 80 far a. to buy an acre cf ground
ard quarried it with view of finding
just what they wanted, but failed They
were finally informed in q casual way
that Michael Foley. who was engaged 10
getting out rocc for railroad, could
in all probability get them what they
wanted. When pressed for an explana
don as to what purpose they intended
putting the rock, Hull explained that
they were gong to ship it to New
York to exhiDit for the purpose of rais-
ing a stock company to manufacture
plaster paris. Martin said they we're
gong to take 1t to Springfield, ILL.,, as
Iowa's contribution to the Lincoln
monument, which was tuen being
built.
When Mr.. Foley was interviewed
concerning the stone he informed them
that he could fill thelI oIueI. He had
just stripped ledge of gypsum rock
about 100 feet long. On the top of
this he drilled some twelve holes and
poured in about fifteen pounds of
powder. A long fuse touched it off at
once and the rock was broken loose in
splendid condition.

by the weak members of a corporation
can be protected from the strong MEM
bers. This protection is left to de-
pend entirely upon the spirit OF fair
ness and honesty among the members
themselves, and too often that Is not
to be relied upon. 1t has long been
an established axiom among profess
sional spectators that the shares OF
any corporation that are valuable Is
one over half. That means where one
man controls half the stock and one
share in addition, he cares nothing
about the balance. He would not buy
the balance at any price. The fight
between Lucas, the Laurens man, and
Milliken, the New York man Is like
this. Lucas managed the mill as pres
ident, and Milliken, large stockhold-
er had the sale Of the yarns on COM
mission. Milliken demanded a COM
mission Of per cent and Lucas FOUND
a firm that would be glad to have his
business at per cent. Unable to control
Lucas, Milliken, II seems has gotten
control of the majority Of the stock,
and the fight has been transferred to the
courts. Local sentiment is with Lu-
cas- as against Milliken, Of course, for
there is every reason to believe that
Lucas Is morally right. But unfortu-
nately the law is on the side Of Mill
ken. II he owns one share over half,
as he probably does, he can eventually
do with the mill as he pleases. The
Laurens people have no recourse, oth-
er than to take what Milliken is willing
to allow them. They might give Mill
ken more or less trouble in the man
agement of the property; but this Is
about all that Is left to them.
