NEWS NOTES.

A. M. ingalls,, or BoVey, was acct
dentally shot and killed while hunt
ing near that place Sunday. The
shot that killed ingalls, was fired by
John Specht at weasel, the bullet
striking a rock and glancing struck
the unfortunate man in the mouth.
The inquest held the case one of &C
cident, Ingalls, was a popular man at
Bovey and leaves a wife and one
child.
Peter Healy, Jacob Seibel and John
Boitz of Hibbing and John Cooper of
Bowstring were drowned in Mud lake
Friday morning. Their upturned
boat was found Sunday afternoon by
some other hunters but owing to the
distance of the lake from the nearest
town no word was secured until Mon
day. A large party from Hibbing
left at once for the Scence OF the &C.
cident and the bodies were recovered
and taken to Hibbing where the fun
eral was held yesterday. Mud lake
where the fatality occurred is treach-
erous piece of water. All of the un-
fortunate men were well known in the
range towns, Healy and Siebel being
pioneers Of the Mesaba range. John
Boitz was at one time in the employ
of the Slavonic store here as meat
cutter and is remembered by many.
Peter Healy was the Pioneer livery
man of Sparta and at the time the
first firemen's tournament was held in
Ely was chief of the Sparta depart
ment. The families of the unfOrtun-
ate men have the sympathy of the
ranges.
Dynamite was used at Coleraine
Saturday morning by some one with
deadly effect. Three men were killed,
two seriously wounded and the cabin
in which the men were was blown to
atoms. The explosion points to the
work of the "black hand" Seven
men were ''batching" on the outskirts
of the town. All seven had recently
deserted the Union and had gone back
to work and it is the general opinion
at BOvey that this had something to
do with the explosion. The men were
buried at Eyeleth. The Oliver Iron

SLAUGHTERING OF VALUES
Panieky Conditions Continue De-

ENORMOUS RATES FOR LOANS
Secretary Cortelyou's Deposit With
Banks Chief Factor in Such
Strength as Market Showed.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. October 24.-There was
nothing at all of novelty to be cited In
connection with the course of today 5
stock market. and very little In relation
TO the financial situation at large. A
condition OF panic continued and the
slaughtering of values made further prog
ress. In fact, what has been written in
describing each days stock market since
the Opening OF the week might almost as
well be reprinted today.
Liquidation OF the same urgent and
necessitous character that has been Wit
messed daily for nearly fortnight ran
along intermittently from the opening 10
the close of business. On the face of
things the local banking situation ap-
peared to be somewhat improved this
morning. but before business opened Wall
street was told OF the suspension of sew
eral uptown banks and Of runs on addi-
tional trust companies and savings banks.
At the opening of business a generally
higher range Of prices in compar son with
yesterdays closing figures was estab-
lished. but the improvement was snort
lived and was succeeded by general re-
action which carried quotations down.
ward.
Aside from. although. of course. closely
related 10. the d f1culties in the local
banking situation. the state of the money
market was perhaps the foremost topic
of interest today. 1t was generally known
that al the close OF business yesterday
money on call was not to be obtained at
any figure. Ii was creditably stated that
as high as 2Op per cent was paid for this
form of accommodation, and several brok-
erage houses were known 20 have made

SITUATION WELL IN HAND.
Action Of Secretary Cortelyou-Con
troller Ridgely's Statement.

! Besides making deposits of about $16,-
| O0OOO Of government money In New
York banks yesterday. Secretary Cortel-
you directed the deposit of several mil
lions in Pittsburg banks. The action of
the Secretary as to Pittsburg was taken
at the request of Senator Knox. who
| talked with Secretary Cortelyou by long
distance telephone.
Controller Ridgely last night made the
! following statement:
II have talked by telephone today with
bankers In practically every large city in
reach of Washington by telephone. and
also with a number of bank examiners l
hear OF no trouble whatever among the
banks or trust companies outside Of New
York. The general feeling is that the sit
| uation is absolutely sound, and there need
be not the slightest apprehension about
the banks and trust companies of the
country. My advices from New York
are that all the banks got through the
day better than they expected, and that
there Is now entire. perfect concert Of ac-
| ton. so that the situation Is well In hand.
There Is every disposition among the
banks Of the reserve cities. as there
should be- to leave their balances In New
York and the other central reserve cities,
and in this way to avoid all the disturb
ance possible.
1.-The trouble in New York has been due
to the condition of a very few concerns.
who were discredited by the operations Of
their officers, and also to the fact that
the prices Of stocks and securities, which
form the basis Of such a large proportion
OF New York city loans, are now the low
est they have been for many years, while
among the country banks just the oppo-
site is the case. A very small proportion
Of their loans are based on collateral
security. Mercantile, manufacturing, min
ing and agricultural operations are not
only now very active and the price of
all commodities high. but there is an ac-
tive demand for material and produce Of
all kinds at prices which are very profit
able to the producer.
I'VE are now just about at the maxi
mum demand for loans to carry these
products In the country. but from now
on. within the next thirty to sixty days,
they ought to be producing large amounts
of money, which will relieve the banks
which have been carrying these loans,
and within sixty days the country banks
ought to be in very easy condition"

Secretary Cortelyou's Statement.
The series of conferences last night.
participated In by Secretary Cortelyou. j.
Pierpont Morgan. John A. Stewart. James
Stillman and other representative bank
ers and men of affairs. disclosed an
agreement In the opinion that the bank
ing situation Is well in hand and that
with the government deposits to be made
by Secretary Cortelyou today there will
not only be enough cash on hand but
even more than might be needed to meet
safely any emergency.
The conferences were held throughout
all of last evening. beginning early and
continuing up to 1 o'clock in the MORN
Ing. at which time Secretary Cortelyou
gave out the following statement:
II have said to gentlemen who called
upon me today that any statement to the
public regarding existing conditions here
should be made with the utmost frank
ness. SO depositors and others interested
in banks might realize that entire reli-
ance could be placed upon II. Those ia
miliar with the facts have known that
the situation was made serious largely
because of the circulation of unfounded
rumors and the unreasoning anxiety of
many who thought only for the moment.
To pass safely through such day as
this. one of the most unnecessary excite
ment as It has been Is the best evidence
Of strength and support on the part of
those who have undertaken the difficult
task Of establishing public confidence
wherever there Is weakness, and 1t has
been in a comparatively few instances.
Strong and able men are rendering aid,
and In behalf Of the Treasury Department
l may say that 1 believe it Is my duty to
do so and l shall do in the largest way
