PFISTER SCORES;
SUIT IS DISMISSED
BASIS FOR INDICTMENT PRoBAB-
LY DESTROYED.
Wisconsin Rendering Company Cannot
Now Recover, It Is Said, Upon Any
Claim They May Have Against the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Suit Discon-
tinued.

Milwaukee, Aug. 26.-The suit of Charles
Pfster against the Wisconsin Rendering COM
pany, to recover $4,000 held by the First Ma
tional bank as a claim against the company
for money loaned, has been settled Judge
Ludwig in the circuit court dismissed the case
upon stipulation by both sides.
Mr.. Pfster bought the claim Of the bank after
he had been indicted by the grand jury, which
practically charged him with stealing $14 900
from the company.
Mr.. Phster alleged that he had distributed
nearly all Of the $4,000 held by him and had
afterwards made settlement for the balance
due, and owed the company nothing
This, it is stated, settles the case SO far
as the officers of the rendering company are
concerned. If they have claim of $4,000,
more or less, against Mr.. Pfster they cannot
now recover anything upon it. In measure,
therefore, the settlement takes the foundation
from the criminal case arising from the grand
jury indictment.
Attorney G. E. Lintz, on behalf OF Mr.. Pfster,
said today that the officers and directors Of
the Wisconsin Rendering company, who had
guaranteed the note, paid the amount in full
and the suit has been discontinued.
This amounts to an admission in most
emphatic form that neither the rendering COM
pany nor its officers make any claim that Mr..
Pfster is indebted to them in any amount on
account Of moneys formerly in Mr.. Pfsters
hands, and for stealing $4,000 of which money

b POSE AS DEAF MUTEs
Queer Couple Work upon Sympathy
and Reap a Harvest:

AKRON, IOWA.-A couple register
ing as Frank M. Miller and wife from
Minneapolis were in town yesterday
and solicited soap orders. They travel
as man and wife, and their method is
to appear separately at the doors of
residences, presenting a card, describ-
ing their misfortunes and claiming to
be mutes, to the housewife. In this
way they are able to dispose Of large
quantity Of cheap soaps made from the
refuse Of packing houses.
While here they were confronted by
deaf woman, who tried to communi-
cate with them by the methods of the
regular deafmute language, but she
failed entirely, and as soon as they
discovered that she was a genuine mute
they beat hasty retreat.
The man in question is tall, awk-
ward Of gait, smooth shaver and about
80. The woman is small and good
looking, has restless blue eyes and is
attired in a gray suit. She smoked a
cigaret under cover, as did her male
mate. AS they are likely to operate
in the northwest, city authorities should
hesitate about issuing them a license.
While off guard they were detected
talking with each other.
