GRAIN COMPANY
CONCERN ACCUSED OF FRAUDu.
LENT USE OF MAILS DECLAR-
ED BANKRUPT.
HEARING ON FRAUD CHARGE

St. Paul, July 8. - The Wisconsin
Grain and Stock company of st. Paul,
which is defendant in the suits
brought by the United States govern
ment for alleged fraudulent use OF the
mails, was placed in the hands Of a
receiver Saturday afternoon.
Judge William Lochren of the fed
eral circuit court signed the papers
early in the afternoon, appointing
Ashley Coffman of st. Paul receiver.
The appointment was made as the
result of a bill in equity filed in the
United States circuit court by Will
liam ]. Haggerson of Bessemer, Mich,
asking that the company's business
be wound up.
Plaintiff Lost $4,000.
Bessemer is one of the points in
which the company conducted branch
Offices. Haggerson was a patron of
this particular Office and alleged that
he lost $4,000.
His bill asserts that the company
has been conducting a business pure
ly on a bucket shop basis, n that in
so doing they charged commissions
and interest on fictitious transactions.
The grain company will have a
chance to answer at the next term Of
the United States circuit court in st.
Paul, which is the first Monday In Au.
gust.
Company's Methods Revealed.
Interesting testimony bearing on
the charges in Haggerson's bill was
given before United States Court
Commissioner Charles l.. Spencer in
the governments case against the
Wisconsin Grain and Stock company
for alleged misuse of the mails. Paul
E. Ewert, assistant United States dis.
| trict attorney, examined II. Y. Moore,
for three years up to November, 1906,
a member of the Superior board of
trade. His testimony in part was that
l.. A. Wood had hired Moore, who is
a young man, and given him 800 to
use in trading on the Superior board.
Moore became a member of the Supe-
rior board, but never paid a cen for
the membership. He did not know of
any n else paying for his seat.
No Delivery Made.
Moore testified that he purchased
thousands of dollars worth of stocks
and grains of which no delivery was
made. He said the transactions were
so evenly balanced that they were
liquidated by the process of setting
off or ringing off, as it is called, so
hat no deliveries were called for.
Moore said that he considered the
Wisconsin Grain and Stock company
a Joke"
1t is understood the prosecution in.
tends to introduce evidence ultimately
to show THAI the Wisconsin Grain and
Stock company was practically the
whole Superior board, including the
clearing house. and ran things to
suit itself.

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED

responsibilities Of Officers and d.
rectors,

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect TO the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tions. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, On the occasion of his cleo
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that "life insurance is more
than a private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to a going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as a trust"
He also realizes that similar respon.
sibilities rest Upon the officers of the
company. Il understand" he says.

SUICIDE WAS SENSATIONAL.
Sioux Falls Maniac Went to Home OF
Farmer to Kill Himself.

Farmer to Kill Himself.
A sensation has been created by
the tragic death at his own hands Of
Chris Christopherson, a stone cutter,
on the farm of a Mr.. Rogan, six miles
east of Sioux Falls. The body was
found standing erect in a corner of
the loft and %propped up between the
hay and the side of the barn.
When the crazy man appeared at
the Rogan farm he informed the Ro-
gans that all the members of his
family were dead at East Sioux Falls.
Some of the Rogan family went to
East Sioux Falls to ascertain If this
story was true.
Arriving at Christopherson's home
they found that his wife and four
children were alive and well. Mrs.
Christopherson stated that her hus-
band had left home early that morn
ing armed with a small caliber riflel
At the Rogan farm no rifle had been
seen. The members of the Rogan fam
lily then returned home.
AS they drove up to the barn some
friends arrived to visit them, and one
Of the boys went up in the loft to put
down some hay. when he was fright
ened by hearing the report of a gun.
A second shot followed a little later.
1t is thought that Christopherson,
after having taken refuge in the loft,
IA frightened when the boy went up
and fired a shot through the roof Of
the barn, and then placing the muz.
gle of the rife against his forehead,
pulled the trigger and sent a bullet
into his own brain.

UNCLE SAM IS THEIR ACCUStR
OFFICERS OF WISCONSIN GRAIN
AND STOCK COMPANY HAVE
HEARING.

st. Paul, July THE preliminary
hearing of persons alleged to be n
nected with the Wisconsin Grain and
Stock company began before United
States Commissioner Charles l.. Spen-
Ger on the charge of using the mails
for Illegal purposes. w. M. ketcnum'
postofice inspector from Chicago,
who investigated the case for the gov
eminent, testified concerning his IN
vestigation of the books of the Wis

Charles T. Kelly, Herbert P. Ernsber-
ger and Martin P. Quigley, arrested
on federal warrants last week.
Paul A. Ewert, assistant United
States district attorney, is conducting
the prosecution, and in questioning
the witnesses attempted to show
that the same persons were members
of the Edwards-Wood company as
formed the Wisconsin Grain and
Stock company, and that the plan OF
work under each company was the
same. Judge l.. X. Luse of West SUI
perior, who with the aid Of T. X.
Kane, conducted the cross-examina'
ton, argued and the court ruled that
the Edwards-Wood company was not
mentioned in the complaint under
which the hearing is held, and the &C
lions of the officers of that concern
cannot be examined now.
The hearing will be resumed at y

What promises to make a difference
in the price of dimension lumber in

While Cottonwood is not a good
grade of lumber for use where it is
exposed to the weather, for inside
work 1t does very well, and they are
cutting a large amount of that class
of lumber.
They are beginning to supply the
