LAUNDRY CHANGES HANDS
w. c. Hawkins. = Wisconsin Bushes.
Man, Buys the Wilimsr Steam
Laundry This Week.. :".S !

"A dealwas closed: this week for -the
sale of the Willmar Steam Laundry
to w. C. Hawkins, Of Sparta, Wis.
The laundry has been conducted for
some time under the personal manage
ment of J. d. Pollock, who had an in
terest in the business with O. A. Fer
ring, and as an excellent opportunity
was offered to dispose of the plant it
was decided to accept it.
Mr.. Hawkins has returned to his
home in Sparta, Wis, and expects to
arrange for the removal of his family
so as to be here by the first of the year
and take charge of the business.
The new owner has had considerable
experience in the laundry business, in
which he was engaged about nine years
at Red Wing, ard for the past four
years was interested in q laundry at
Sparta. Mr.. Hawkins is also news
paper man, having been of late con-
nected with the Monroe Co. Democrat
at Sparta. -. -
Mr.. Pollock will remain here until
the first of the year and have charge
of the laundry until the new owner re-
turns. He has not yet decided def
nitely as to his plans in the future,
but it is most probable that he will
remain here for some time after the
first of the year to assist in the man
agement of the laundry.

Free Delivery In Ian nary.

The free city delivery postal service
will not be inaugurated before some
time in January. As soon as the city
has completed the necessary prelimin-
ary work Postmaste Birch will notify
the department at Washington and the
service will be inaugurated at once.
An order will be issued by the depart
ment establishing the free delivery,
according to q letter received some
time ago from the fourth assistant
postmaster general. The civil service
commission at Washington will then
call for an examination OF applicants
for carrier service and specify the time
for such examination and also the re-
quirements necessary. The city will
be divided into three districts and
there will be, one carrier for each dis
trict.
The city has ordered 249 street signs
from the Burdick Enamel Sign Co. of
Chicago, and they are expected here
at any time: The Lewis Hardware
Co. has the contract for furnishing
the house numbers, which will be of
aluminium and will be very substan-.
TALLY constructed.
The Philadelphia system of number
ing will be used, counting 100 to each
block. In numbering allowance will
be made for buildings that may be
erected in the future. First street will
be the dividing line east and west and
Pacific avenue north and south.
1t will necessarily take some time
yet before all of the details are carried
out, and it may possibly not be before
February that the service can be in
stalled.

IAN THE NO NEY
Creditors Of P. 10. Relss q CO. Petition
/. for Involuntary Bankruptcy and Try ].
TO Secure lnsursno % money.

The visit OF q United States deputy
marshal to this city last Saturday to
serve papers in an action which was
begun in the United States district
court Q short time ago has resulted in
no end of talk regarding the affairs
of the firm OF P H. Roise & Co. .>.:z :s r.
Creditors of the. above firm have
filed q petition in involuntary bank
ruptcy, being members OF wholesale
houses in the twin cities who have
large claims against the firm: Judge
Lochren of the United States court in
st. Paul has caused papers to be is
sued to show cause why the insurance
money, which it is claimed was col
lected short time ago, should not be
paid to the creditors. A law suit was
threatened some time ago by A. G.
johnson, a member of the firm to re-
cover the amount of insurance which
the Insurance. companies failed to pay
the firm in adjusting the Marshall Gre
loss and it is now alleged that John
son has effected settlement. This
money, it is claimed, constitutes the
only assets of the late firm and is now
in the sole possession OF Mr.. johnson.
The St. Paul officers was unable to
find him here last Saturday and con-
sequently the papers were served at
his home. Attorney Samuel Porter,
who it is claimed has received good
slice of the insurance money for legal
services rendered, also received q visit
in the serving of papers and another
we'll known attorney of this city, who
did not fare quite so we'll in the divi-
sion, was third party upon. whom
papers we're served. The same day
Sheriff Lundquist served papers upon
the Bank of Willmar in garnishee
summons issued by Gilbert & Green
man, of st. Paul, attorneys for the
Merchants Protective Association.
It is understood that johnson left
for Minot, N. D., some days ago,
where the firm has been continuing the
mercantile business since the fire at
Marshall.
