ASSESSMENT RUM0R
ON BOSTON CON.
Fact May Be Cause of Peculiar
Action of the Stocks
Price.

With tho proposition of the merger
of the Boston Con and the Utah Cop.
per companies practically an assured
fact, the basis of consolidation being
two and one-half shares of Boston for
one share of Utah, it has been a
source of considerable wonderment and
speculation IN western mining circles
that there should be such a disparity
in the selling prices of the two securi-
ties
Boston reports, however, in way
explain this; or rather give an explana.
tion which remains to be proved by
developments or definite announce
ment. These reports of late are TO the
effect that the stockholders of the Bos-
ton Consolidated company will be
form of an assessment, for the purpose
of meeting all of the present indebted
ness OF the company, prior to the final
closing up and official confirmation of
tho merger deal.
Boston Report.
The Boston News Bureau offers the
following on the present state of af-
fairs: "Thc rumor is current that in
the consolidation OF the Boston Con-
solidatcd with Utah Copper. on the
basis of two and one-half for one, Bos-
lOn ConSOlluateu SnarPnOlQerS VIII be

sort of assessment,
"Boston Consolidated interests in
this city state that the only contribu.
tion that they know of is one of %
cents per share. TO be paid in as a. com

'fThere is an inexplicable disparity
in the prices at which Boston Consoli-
dated and Utah Copper are now sell
ing, assuming that the two and one
half for one exchange is effected Bos-
ton Consolidated is quoted at % cents,
and two and one-half shares at this
ratio are worth 571a cents, while Utah

whose body was found yesterday In
an abandoned house in the north side,
partially nude and frozen stiff and

Friel has been missing since Decem-

with two companions, but separated
from them late in the afternoon. A
search was instituted, but no trace

owned by Tulley to f. 9, Steer. He OBJ
tanned a check for $4,000 from Steer
as earnest money and then Tulley re-
fused to continue the deal The check
was cashed by Fortner on forged
signature.
Tulley disclaimed signing the check
and in the meantime Fortner had left
st. Louis. He was traced to Panama
and then to Paris, where he was
caught by detectives.
After extended legal proceedings in
Paris he was extradited and returned
to st. Louis. His attorneys used every
legal means to prevent extradition.
The jury was out eight hours. A mo,
ton for an appeal was filed and Fort
ner, who had been out on bond, was
sent to jail

DEPosED PRESIDENT OF PHOENIX
WAS NOT TOLD HE WAS
UNDER INDICTMENT.

Greenwich, Conn, Dec. 27.-George
Preston Sheldon, the deposed presi-
dent of the Phoenix (Fire) Insurance
Co., of Brooklyn, under Indictment for
grand larceny in connection with the
financial irregularities in the company,
died at his home Christmas day, igno-
rant of the fact that detectives were
waiting with extradition papers ready
to take him to New York for trial in
the event Of his recovery. When the
company's affairs were arraigned in a
statement by the New York insurance
department recently, Sheldon lay
critically i'll with ptomaine poisoning,
and the news of his indictment was
withheld from him. He had never
rallied. Sheldon was president Of the
Phoenix company for twenty-one years
prior to his removal recently.
Company Evaded Examination.
The report by the state insurance
superintendent declared that the con-
pany had for years evaded the official
investigation at Sheldon's dictation,
and that by the consent of the direc-
tors he had pledged the company's Sc
curity for loans. Sums aggregating

Sheldon was 62 years of age. His
widow, three daughters and two sons
survive him.
Inquiry Will Go On.
New York, Dec. 27-The death OF
ex-President Sheldon will not inter

of the Phoenix Fire Insurance com
