that we love to fool ourselves

we read little else than the writing OF

may hug the notion that our life anil

our hugging this delusion does not
change the fact that the intellectual

st. Paul, July 1.-THE preliminary

Ger on the charge OF using the mails
for illegal purposes. w. M. Ketchum,

who investigated the case for the gov

vestigation of the books of the Wis

Paul A. Ewert, assistant United

the prosecution, and in questioning
the witnesses attempted to show
that the same persons were members
OF the Edwards-Woo 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 Su-
perior, who with the aid Of T. R.
Kane, conducted the cross-exam1na-
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

| cannot be examined now.

SUICIDE WAS SENSATIONAL.
Sioux Falls Maniac Went to Home o.
Farmer to XIII Himself.

Farmer to XIII Himself.
A sensation has been created by
the tragic death at his OWE 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 p1opped up between the
hay and the side Of the barn.
When the crazy mar appeared at
the Rogan farm he informed the Ro.
gans that all the members of his
family we're 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 we'll. Mrs.
Christopherson stated that her hus-
band had left home early that morn
ing armed with a small caliber rifle.
At the Rogan farm 10 rifle had been
seen. The members of the Rogan fam
lily then returned home.
AS they drove up to the barn some
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,
was frightened when the boy went up
and fired a shot through the roof of
the barn, and then placing the muz
zle of the rife against his forehead,
pulled the trigger and sent a bullet
into his own brain.

RECEIVER FOR
GRAIN COMPANY
CONCERN ACCUSED OF FRAUDU.
LENT USE OF MAILS DECLAR-
Ed BANKRUPT.
HEARING ON FRAUD CHARGE

st. Paul, July 9. - 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 j. 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 H. v. 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 $500 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 II 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 we're
l%iquidated by the process of setting
off or ringing off, as 1t is called, so
that 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 that the Wisconsin Grain and
Stock company was practically the
whole Superior board, including the
clearing house, and ran things to
suit itself.

Car Kills Big Badger.

Tho pugnacity Of the badger is Of
world wide renown, but he would
scarcely be expected to assafl a street
car; yet the rev Of Pacific Electric
Car No. 1913 assert that one claiming
residence on Rancho Santa Anita
disputed the right Of way last even-
ing.
About 8 o'clock p. M, as the car
swung around the curve in the vino;
yard west Of Arcadia, Motorman
Shearer saw a large animal between
the rails. Repeated shrieks of the
whistle had no other effect than to
cause him to real and bare his teeth
in defiance. Then he was a dead
badger. He weighed eighty pounds,
and his hide measures three and one.
half feet in length by two In width.
His immense claws are four inches
long. He is by far the largest of the
species ever killed in this vicinity.
