WHO CHIPPEWA
FOLK SUNK $4,000

Yesterday a bankruptcy proceeding
Of SD interest to many Chippewa
Falls folk had its conclusion in the
United States court here. The story
is thus.
Some four or five years ago two
young men from Indianapolis came
to Chippewa Falls and proposed to
move their furniture plant from
hoosierdom to Chippewa if they could
be given some financial help. A puD
lie meeting was held and so much in
terest was awakened that Chippewa
citizens subscribed to $4,000 of the
stock In due time furniture began
to flow from the factory Apparently
a fine business was being done. A
dividend of IA per cent. was declared
one year although afterward the To-
cal stockholders were not clear just
what condition should have justified
such generosity. The property, all
told. was valued at $4,000. The
boosters Lad contributed something
above the $4,000. Yesterday, as a
climax in bankruptcy H. NJ. Lewis,
register in bankruptcy, confirmed
the sale at auction of the property for
IS, 900 TO NJ. A. Poznanski. BY a
stroke of the zen, so to speak. the
$4,000 subscT 9ed by the Chippewas
was thus effaced. The Indianians have
migrated to other fields. Mr.. Poz-
nanski is TO reopen the works, and
su"~css for them under his manage
trent is prophesied confidently by his
fellow-citizens Of Chippewa Falls. The
city is philosophical. Il rejoices in
the possession Of promising factory
even though the venture represents

AFTER ACQUITTAL
ERoUeHToN 5RANDEN5uRe RE.
ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
KIDNAPPING WlFE's SON.
JURY FREES HIM OF LARCENY
CHARGE WITHIN FEW
MINUTES.


New York, July 3.-Although
Broughton Brandenburg was acquitted
here yesterday of the charge of grand
larceny in connection with the sale
of the alleged spurious letter OF
Grover Cleveland to the New York
Times, he had only few minutes of
freedom.
Before leaving the courtroom, he
was re-arrested and will be taken to
st. Louis next week for trial on a
charge of fraudulently enticing from
the childs parent, his stepson, James
Shepard Cabanne. The penalty for
this offense in Missouri ranges from
six months in Jail to 20 years in the
penitentiary. The author was taken
back to the Toombs in default of
$4,000 bail to await the arrival of the
Missouri officers.
The kidnapping, which it is said,
Brandenburg admits, occurred short.
ly after the writer jumped his bail
while under indictment for the sale
of the Cleveland article. He was
found in San Francisco with the Cab
anne boy, whorl he had picked up in
st. Louis. Brandenburg declared he
was justified n taking the boy, be-
cause the lads father, with whom he
had beer temporarily left, had not
lived UP to an agreement as to the
child's treatment.
The boys mother, Brandenburg S
wife, was in the courtroom yesterday
when the verdict of acquittal was an
nounced.
The verdict of acquittal on the
grand larceny charge was reached by
the jury within few minutes after
the presiding justice had charged
them that the question of the genu-
ineness of the Cleveland signature
was immaterial and that the question
of genuineness of the article was
only of secondary consideration. The
primary consideration, he told them,
was whether the defendant had stolen
$500, the price paid for the article
by the New York Times. They must
acquit the defendant, he continued, if
they found that the Times had not
relied on Brandenburgs statements
as to the genuineness of the article,
but had relied rather on the represen.
tation of F. I. Hastings, one of Cleve-
lands executors, whom they consult
ed before purchasing the article.

received by the crowd with wild
cheers. Escorted by the police. the
deputation arrived at Saint Stephens
entrance to parliament, where it WIS
met by Chief Inspector Scantlebury,
who handed Mrs Pankhurst a lette~
from the premier, regretting his ina
bility to receive the deputation.
Angrily throwing the letter on the
ground, Mrs. Parkhurst declared her
right as a kings subject TO enter the
house of commons. and she endeav-
ored to force an entrance.
The police tried to induce the wom-
en- to dispense quietly and then be
gan to take members of the depuTa-
ton by their arms to lead them away
In the struggle, Mrs. Parkhurst
slapped Inspector Jarvis in the face,
knocking his cap in the mud. For
this the crowd denounced her. A mo-
