Duluth, Nov 24.-The testimony last
Wednesday before the U. S. steel cor

by Leonidas Merritt of Duluth, in which
he told of transaction in which he

ing $12, 500 per year as interest on $780,
600 bonds voted for the Merritts in 1898
when the county issued that amount
and lost it in the Rockefeller CALI
loan.
In 1898, the Merritts wanted money
for their railroad project to the Mesaba

for it. A general elecuon was called
and the people decided to allow them
s250,000 as a bonus. The bonds were
issued, sold and the money was turn
ed over to the Merritts.
The bonds were of the 3O-year va
riety and the interest was fixed at 5
per cent. Stock in the Mesaba venture
was offered the county but it was de-
clined.
When the Merritt crash came all the
money went with it.
The bonds have run for Is years
and the county has paid the annual in
terest of $1Z500.
With the principal and the interest
when the bonds are due in 1928, 1925, 900
will be marked down as the cOuntys
