CLAIMS TREACHERY
J. J. Anderson, Manager for Prof.
Hopkins, Claims Attempt Was
Made to Kill 9 Him
Guy WIRE TAMPERED WITH

]. J. Anderson, the manager for
Prof. Hopkins, the aeronaut and high
diver, who was injured at Anderson's
Park on Sunday evening, claims that
deliberate attempt was made to kill
Hopkins, and that since the accident
he has discovered that one of the guy
wires holding the platform from
which Hopkins was to have dived had
been tempered with, and that instead
of diving to his injury Hopkins simply
tainted and fell off the platform. 1t
is alleged by Anderson that this is
the third attempt that has been made
to injure Hopkins. He alleges that
early in the week a big iron bolt was
found IN the tank into which Hopkins
was diving and that this bolt would
have been the death of the daring
man had he struck it with his head.
Earlier in the season Anderson claims
that at one time when Hopkins start
ed to make balloon ascension and
parachute. drop he found that the
parachute had been tied with silk
thread. This thread would have pre-
vented the parachute opening and the
man would have been left at the mercy
of the winds.
Anderson states that he had talk
with Hopkins and that he said that
when he reached the top of the plat
form on Sunday evening he noticed at
once that it would be.impossible to
dive. from. it on account of the. fact
that the guy. wire. had been tempered
with and that he felt faint from the
shaking of the platform. Anderson
claims that he. knows the men who
have been after Hopkins and that IL
will seek some way to have the meu
brought into court.
People who witnessed the fall of
Hopkins scout the idea that any one
sought. TO iriure him and insist that
the man simply made mistake in his
dive and failed to hitsthe tank. In
any event it is proba BILE that the high
dive will be eliminated at Anderson's
Park in the future.

FORGER WAS BOLD
Edo Anderson Manages to
Pass aForged Check on the
kenosha Mercantile Co.
CHECK PROVES RANK FORGERY

Police in Kenosha, Racine and
other cities are seeking to find some
trace of man giving his name as
"Edd Anderson" who is wanted here
on charge of forgery. The victim
of the man was the Kenosha Mercan-
tile company on Wisconsin street and
it is alleged that the man got away
with nine dollars and pair of shoes
as result of his work. The fellow
was clever worker, but the check
which he presented was a rank
forgery. The fellow entered the
store just after six O'Clock last night.
He was dressed in suit of working
clothes and had every appearance of a
man who had just come from
foundry. He purchased a pair of
women's shoes and when it came time
to pay he rendered check purported
to be signed by Frank L. Wells. He
walked back to the desk and endorsed
the check and he carried out the
whole thing so we'll that 3none of the
men in the store ever questioned for
minute but that the check was good.
They found their mistake this morn
ing when the check was sent to the
First National bank for payment and
returned to them as a rank forgery.
The police were at once notified but
the man had not been located up to
late hour this afternoon. It is thought
that the man was one of the hangers
on with the carnival shows that played
in Kenosha last week and it is thought
possible that he may be taken in some.
other city. He evidently had a con
federate as the signature aud the en-
dorsement were not both The work of
the man who gave his name as Amber
sou. It was thought possible that a
number of forged checks had been
put in circulation but the police r.ade
the rounds of the banks and no other
forged checks have as yet been re.
ceived for payment. Chief O'Hare
this afternoon telephoned a descrip-
ton of the man to other cities IN the
neighborhood and it is possible that
he will be located at one of these
cities.

A Peculiar Frog.

South America has a frog Of peculiar
habits. Dwelling in the virgin forest,
Ut the tops Of the highest trees, it
chooses as the site Of it's nursery some
hollow stump and then proceeds to
line it with rosin procured from trees
In the neighborhood. This lining
serves to catch and hold the rainwater,
with which 1t quickly becomes filed.
AS soon as this takes place the eggs
are laid therein, and here they undergo
Development into tadpoles. How the
rosin is collected is mystery, nor is
It yet known how the separate pieces
become welded to form the water tight
basin necessary to insure the safety Of
the treasures deposited therein

In proper shape, but when healing

that absolutely no union had resulted,
SO began to look for the cause, and
after many questions patient admitted
a specific disease which he had had
for long time, hence the cause of the
nou-union was plain. wanted to OPP

relatives wanted to take him to Wau-
kegan, and did so just twenty-six
days after injury, promising Ito pay
his bill in full, but to date not one

ASSETS.
tools, materials
and partially completed

LA tAC NOuSluGIdl OF the assets 1t
should be understood that there is
mortgage for $40, 900 on the real estate
and that it is also covered by a trust
deed, which was issued to secure the
payment of certain bonds. This trust
deed also covers all of the tools and
machinery owned by the company.
1t is stated that since the schedule
was made the receiver has disposed of
machines to the value of 81, 500, and it
is claimed that high prices have been
now at the plant.
The great surprise in the schedule
is the amount of Accommodation paper
outstanding against the company.
This paper was put out in the last few
months of the existence of the COM
pany to provide running expenses.
The heaviest creditor of the COM
pany seems to have sheen Thomas
Stewart, of Aurora, ILL.,, who has
claims against the company to the
amount of $23, 252 all of which are al
legged to be secured by the bond issue
made last December. The other
creditors are scattered all over the
United States aud Mexico and the
claims range from few dollars to
hundreds. No other claimants de-
mand any where near as much as
Stewart of Aurora. The creditors
who are slated to be paid in full in
clude the taxes owed to Kenosha
county and the wages of the workmen
who remained at the plant until the
final crash came. There are twenty
unsecured creditors in Kenosha and
eight Kenosha creditors are among
the number holding secured claims.
The mortgage of $40, 1000 on the plant
is now being held by the Fidelity
Trust company of Milwaukee. With
the fling of the schedules the referee
in bankruptcy will issue the regular
order for the meeting OF the creditors.

The extent of the failure of the Wis
ible Typewriter company of this city,
which recently was adjudicated a
bankrupt in the Uniteds States Court
at Milwaukee, was made known this
afternoon when Attorney A. e. Buck
master, representing the bankrupt
company, filed with the referee in
bankruptcy full schedule of the liza
bilities and assets of the Ecompany.
On paper it would appear that the
company was very close to solvent,
but the attorney is holding no elabor-
ate hopes to the creditors that they
will receive the full amount of the
claims. It is said that the secured
creditors will receive the larger
amount of the money due to them and
that there will be something to pay
to the unsecured, creditors, but it is
impossible to even hazard a guess on
the amount to be paid to this class of
creditors. The schedulesswill show
liabilities of 800, 631.72 and assets of
500, $40. 90. The Schedule of liza bill.
