Company, once the pride of Western
Minnesota, is no more. At least it
has not the least bit of tangible pro-
perty to its name. The last sad rites
occurred at the Kandiyohi county
courthouse last Friday morning,
when all the property was sold to
satisfy trust deed held by the Min
nesota Loan & Trust Company of
Minneapolis, for about $172, 200. The
property was bid in by the North.
western Telephone Exchange Com
|pany for the sum Of 100000, the
difference being paid by securities
held against the Minnesota Central
by that company.
The act involving more than a half
million dollars was over in a minute.
Those present directly interested be-
sides the sheriff were Atty. J. NJ.
Martin, representing the Trust COM
|pany, Mr.. E. A. Prendergast, repre-
senting the Northwestern Telephone
Exchange Company, General Manag-
er Baker and Secretary Williams Of
the Minnesota Central.
Sheriff Bonde started to read the
notice Of sale, which was asked to
be dispensed with by unanimous con-
sent. Mr.. Martin bid the amount Of
the mortgage on behalf of the Trust
company. Mr.. Prendergast bid $780,
600 on behalf of the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange Co. The sheriff
asked if there were any other bids.
Mr.. Prendergast with a smile looked
into the outside room, remarking,
"Where are the other fellows9" The
hammer fell and the telephone sys-
TEN reaching twenty-three counties
Of Minnesota was sold. Mr.. Prem
dergast handed to the sheriff over
100000 in notes given by the Min
nesota Central to the Northwestern
as payment for the difference between
the amount called. for by the mort
gage and the amount of his bid. On
one of these alone more. than $4,000
in interest WAS due. ~ ..,-... - !.
Willmar was the headquarters for
the Minnesota Central IN the early
days Of building and promotion. AZ
ter the Northwestern secured control
of it's stock, the general Office was
moved to Minneapolis in conjunction
with the Northwestern Offices. For a
term Of years past the management
Of this system has been under the d.
rection Of the Northwestern Bell
company. It has been extending the
lines and improving the property as
the large construction account
shows. These facts were brought
out in a suit brought by the minor
ity stockholders to protect their in
terests, but which evidently did not
materialize for their benefit. Last
year the Minnesota Central did not
pay the interest on the trust deed
mortgage or bonds, the default of
