Seven river drivers had a wild ride
down the kernebec Sunday afternoon
from the railroad bridge to the great
eady, which they will not soon forget.
They We're at work on the jam which
formed some 10 days ago on the rail-
road bridge pier. Without any warn
lnE the jam started. The men had no
time TO get ashore and as result
went down stream with the logs The
news soon spread and within a few
minutes the bridge was black with
people watching the men as they jump
ca from log to log in the wild ride
through the rapids. 1t was dollars to
d1ughnuts that some would never
reach the eddy alive, but they all did
out of the seven but one man was in
)ured and he but slightly by falling on
log. The drivers landed at the camp
on the Canaan road. The rain of Sat-
urday night caused the river to rise
rapidly and the high water was no
doubt responsible for the jam starting.
There is small jam on the pier now
and the river is unusually high for this
time of year.

COURT SCORES
MANAGEMENT
WHEELER GOLD MINING CO. is
ApgUDGED iNsoLvENT. AND
J. J. WHITE APPOINTED AS
RECEIVER.

The Wheeler Gold Mining Co.
was today declared insolvent and
J. J. White appointed receiver.
In rendering his opinion, Judge
Sullivan said:
Never before have | had a case
come to my attention that showed
such gross neglect and mismanage-
ment of its business affairs. The
concern is insolvent and has been
insolvent ever since its beginning,
and l find that receiver must be
appointed TO straighten out its bust
ness affairs"
The. court stated that the direc-
tors showed surprising lack of
knowledge as to the business af-
fairs of the company whose con-
troll was In their hands. No refer
ence was made to the charges of
fraud that were investigated at
the hearing.
The application for a receiver
was made by B. c. Secord, E. T.
Richter, A. S. Ash and C. <. Beebe,
some of the largest stockholders in
the concern, who charged that not
only were they denied access to the
firms books and vital information
as to its progress, but that the d.
rectors had taken the books and
accounts to the state of California
and were misappropriating the
funds. The last directors of the
company were Math Jacobs, c. E.
Mallette and Fred Breyman.
S. r. Stern, attorney for the
plaintiffs. stated that the books of
the company will not be permitted
to leave the state until he matter
is finally settled. The company has
been conducting its affairs as a cor
poration, but the records go to
show that no articles of incorpora-
ton have ever been filed here.
