MEEks' CASE TO KEokUk
Bonaparte Woolen Mills to Have Hear
ing Before w. j.
Roberts.

Keosauqua, July Especially
has been announced that the Meek
Bros. Co. bankruptcy case had been
referred to w j.. Roberts of Keokuk,
referee in bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy proceedings were insti-
tuted for Meek Bros. Co. at Keokuk
Wednesday, June %. by Receiver
Charles Powell of nes Moines, follow
ing several unsuccessful attempts at
reorganization and various forms Of
settlement.
The meeting which was held at the
Meek office in Bonaparte Tuesday.
June %, was quite well attended by
attorneys representing stockholders
and creditors and by stockholders
themselves. Propositions which were
| put forth at that tine were accepted
| in part but not sufficient to prevent a
further stay of bankruptcy proceeding.
A meeting of the creditors will
probably be held in a few days at
which time the exact condition of af-
| fairs will be ascertained 1t is certain,
however, that if the plant goes through
bankruptcy there will be very small
returns, probably ten to twenty-five
cents on the dollar for the creditors
and absolutely nothing for the stock
holders.
Overtures have been made to the
stockholders o exchange their fac
| tory stock for stocker stock at the
ratio Of four to one. This the major
ity of them have agreed to do, but
have net yet done so. At the time
of tie meeting they were given ten
days in which to make the transfer
This time expires about Saturday.
stockholders who prefer stocker stock
at the rate above mentioned rather
than factory stock for which they will
probably get nothing will make this
exchange. To carry bankruptcy to
the point where the plant will sell will
require from thirty to sixty days. 1t
now appears that the best thing for
Bonaparte is to let it through as rast
as possible, and to hope that when it
does sell, it will be to company which
will at once proceed to make the
wneels go round.

pany of this city, and prominent
young man. was seriously and perhaps
fatally injured last night when his
automobile plunged into creek near

plunged down into the creek and over
turned The man in the buggy, whose
identity was not learned, hastened to
his assistance and held Ramsey's
head out of the water until help ar
rived. Members of the Scott family,
living near, heard his cries and helped
him lift the automobile off Ramsey's
body. Ramsey was brought to his
home in this city and was unconscious
for several hours.

week after being formally charged
with wilful murder This is the first
time the method of the terrorists
have been introduced into the political
agitation in England and the country
has awakened to the fact in an ugly
temper At the Indian Office the muir
der is held to be entirely political, due
to some ina aginary grievance against
the system of government.
The assassination of a political char
acter occurred late last night
at public gathering at the
imperial institute. The Indian stu
dent shot and killed DLieutenant Col
onel Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie
and Dr. Calas Lacaca of Shanghai
Wyllie, who had held important In
dian appointments, fell dead on the
spot. DR.. Lalcaca showed signs CT
| life after he fell and was hurried to
ST. Georges hospital, but on arrival
there it was found that he was dead.
Those near the assassin seized and
held him until the arrival of the po-
lice He had two revolvers. a dag
ger and knife. All were new,
and 1t is believed that the crime was
prem meditated.
Lieutenant Colonel Wyllie had been
political aid to the secretary of state
for him since 1901 and was a retired
officer Of the Indiana army: He was

ices.
Sir William was military secretary

New York, July 2.-The body sup

man was found in the Hudson river.
last night was not that of Leon Ling,
who is charged with the murder Of
Elsie Sigel. After an autopsy today
the ceroner's physician declared the
body was that Of white boy.
The body of a Chinese was found
floating in the Hudson river in the
upper part of the city last evening.
The mans height weight, and gen
eral appearance tallias with that of
Leon, but as the body was nude except
of silk undershirt, and had been in
the water for more than week, a
thorough examination will be neces-
sary
Coroner Mcdonald who was the first
to inspect the body. believes 1t is Leon,
as do a number of policemen but un-
til measurements and facial character
istics are carefully gone over, the iden-
tif1cation will remain in doubt
If it is Leon, the cause of his
death will be another mystery, al.
though one theory, that of suicide
would appear reasonable.
Man and Woman Find Body.
The body was discovered by Clinton
W. Bell resident of Harlem, who
| was out in the river with a motor boat
with young woman. Bell secured the
body, and heRcommunicated with the
police. Officers were dispatched to the
scene Immediately and the body was
taken to morgue in the Bronx.
In salient features there was mark.
ed resemblance between the dead
Chinaman and the Official descriptions
| of the missing Leon. The teeth were
good, as were Icons: the height was
about 5 feet 4 inches, which was
Icons height; and the weight was
125 pounds, which was about the
figure at which Leon tipped the
scales when he disappeared. The age
of the dead man appeared to be about
25 or 30 years. Icons age was given
out by the police as 80.
The right arm of the body was great
ly discolored, but whether from VIC
lence or from the effects of the water
could not be ascertained. The fact
that the clothes were missing makes
identification more difficult and an
autopsy will be performed. The cor
oner was unable to arrive at any con
clusion as to how the Chinese met his
death
