the defendant the firm is badly in
debt, the majority of the claims being
due the plaintiff.
The immediate appointment of a
receiver was asked in the prayer of
the plaintiff, he alleging that the
stock on hand was of such a nature
that, undoubtedly, much damage would
result in delay of the appointment of
a court representative.
No Receiver Vet Named.
However, the receiver was not NAM
ed by Judge Fox, as he desired to con-
suit with the defendant and his at
tOrney before acting in the matter.
The plaintiff AYERS that the total
amount of the Indebtedness is not
known exactly by himself. However,
he places the value of the stock in
possession of the firm at $4,000 and
also SAYS that he knows of $500 of
Indebtedness. The partnership of this
firm was formed in June, 1907 and the
firm is located at 71S Main street,
which was MIR. Lahrman's location be-
fore taking Mr.. Cunningham into the
business. Several days ago the part
nership was dissolved in the regular
way. The plaintiff also asked the
court to have the store closed for ten
days. in order that a thorough invoice
might be taken.

Cambridge National City bank, re-
turned to Boston this morning and
surrendered to the police. The losses
of the bank according to the latest
estimate will reach fully 100000.
Attorneys for Coleman declare that

which he took by a gang of swindlers
who induced him to try to break big
faro bank in New York Coleman
faced with impending discovery of his
speculations. fell an easy victim.
A Notorious Gang.
The lawyers say that the swindlers
are members of a gang which has op-
Grated in Boston for three years and
has scored a number of victims. in
amounts ranging from 81 900 to S65,-
600. Walker, the cashier of the New
Britain, Conn. bank and Dr. Muir, a
New York physician. each of whom lost
hundreds of thousands of dollars, were
victims of the same swindle.
Coleman was induced to go to New
York. There he met one of the gang
who represented himself as a dis
charged employe of big gambling
house. It's proprietor, he told Cole.
man, had treated him unjustly and he
was anxious for revenge. This he
could secure by breaking the bank, as
he knew the system upon which play

corded, was the result of a political
feud, and believe that the victim was
reminded that he had talked too much
by the use of knife on his tongue.
Robbery Not Motive.
The discovery of $3.50 in his clothes
eliminates the possibility of robbery.
Greenthal today refused to say how
he got the money or why he had it. He
is chandelier maker, and when he
works. gets So a day. He has been
idle of late and living with his sister
at 421 East Eighty-fourth street. He
has been an active worker in the dis

The police today closely questioned
Thomas Bishberry. chauffeur of the
taxicab in which the five assailants
cruised for an hour in search of their
victim. When the machine was rented,
the five said it was for Senator Nc
Manus. When the found Greenthal in
saloon, he drank with them. One

A lake blaze with flames threat

strange phenomenon which is to he

which has suddenly become a mass

An Albert Lea business man, H. L.

long dry spell of this summer the
lake waters had evaporated. The
bottom of the lake had been trans

Peculiar Shaped instrument.

A peculiar shaped axe or hammer
was found in the dry creek bed of
Sucker Creek in Stockholm lately,
which some seem to think has his
tory. Its size is about that of a
cobblers hammer but with axe for
nation of blade. 1t is composed
of a metal that is likened to bronze,
or possibly brass or copper. 1t was
found by a nephew. of C. M. Carl
son and may have become unearthed
by the recent dredging of the creek.
The formation is of ancient form
and if proven of bronze may have
its origin from the early ages.
Mr.. Carlson shipped the relic to the
state historical society at st. Paul
with the view of gaining it's iden-
tity, and from where it ha, just
been returned. It likens the handle
of a cane or umbrella and has a
hollow interior, and also has a

When our friends die we rush to
the florist and buy the finest flow
ers the market affords. We have
them arranged by expert hands into
bouquets, wreaths and sprays. We
often pay more for such tokens
than our incomes warrant and we
are solicitous that they be used in
a conspicuous place at the funeral
and that the bereaved relatives
know who they come from. It is
a popular and pleasing way of pay
ing tribute to the memory of our
departed friends. But why is it
not better to hand them an occa-
sional bouquet in the form of a
kind and cheering word while they
are still with us and in possession
of their reason and sense of appre-
citation? Too many of the bouquets
bestowed upon the dead are thrown
largely to fatter the vanity of the
living. III dickinson Leader.
