Der l, but McGuigan admits when he leaves
the Great Northern Offices tomorrow aft
ernoon his connection with the railroad
in an active official capacity will have
ceased.
Without hesitancy Mr.. McGuigan ac-
knowledged that personal differences be
tween himself and J. j. Hill had caused
his resignation. Mr. McGuigan intimated
that his grievance had been fostered by
alleged dictatorial methods Of Mr.. I'm in
conducting the affairs Of the railroad. II
was rumored that the differences were OF
such a nature that personal encounter
occurred.
Did your disagrcements with MIR. Hid
lead either Of you to attack the other

Tuesday, Mr McGuigan decided TO resign.
The crisis came yesterday at meeting In

end of the month, until his resignation
becomes effective.

Mr.. McGuigan only smiled.
Then It was Mr. Hnrs attempt to dom
mate over you that resulted in the
break?"
MIR. Hill is an extremely dominating
man." returned Mr.. McGuigan.
Pressed for further particulars OF his
quarrel with Mr.. HILL Mr.. McGugan was
silent. He said he would leave with his
family for Maine as soon as possible. He
expects to take a rest for several weeks,
but after that he said he did not know
what he would do
