The Wake of a Shin.

Wake" for the track of a ship is a
Scandinavian word, preserved in dia-

Skeats tells us. was that of an opening
In the ice. especially the passage cut
for a ship in frozen lake or sea, and
then. from being applied to the smooth,
watery track left by ship after its
passage through the ice, it came to be
used when there was no ice at all.
This useful word is one of the nautical
terms which the French have borrow
ed from the English, although 1t is
not easy to recognize It at first in its
French form Of "ouaiche," and 1t Is

On the petition of Michael Mitchell,
John O. ChisoIm and Mrs. Benjamin w.
Borne, filed Thursday in the Civil Dis
trict court, Judge Parker ordered Will
liam F. Kelly, the fourth member OF
the concern operating under the name
of the Mitchell-Borne Construction
Company, having the contract for the
construction of the syphon under the
Carondelet Canal at Broad street, to
show cause July why a receiver
sholld not be named for the partner
ship.
From the petition filed in the mat
ter it would appear that Borne, who,
with several others engaged upon the
work of constructing the syphon, lost
his life several weeks ago through the
caving of the coffer-dam in which the
syphon was being built, left a wife
and minor children, and it is set up,
because of this fact and the interests
involved, 1t is essential that liquida-
ton of the concerns affairs be made.
According to the story told by the
pleadings Kelly has no cash invested
in the partnership, while Borne had
$1O,947.23, Chisholm s4,270.15 and Nit
chell $10,90S47. In addition to this, it
is asserted, the Southwestern Surety
Insurance Company of Oklahoma is on
the bond of the concern to the Sewer
age and Water Board, for which board
the work was being done, for 1924
262.15, the concerns contract being
for canal and pipe line, as well as
for the syphon, and that to secure the
bonding company Mitchell has mort
gagged his property to the extent of
$1,000, Borne for $17 900 and CHS
holm for $500. The surety company
has, however, agreed to release GER
tain of the property in the event it
should become necessary to make
loan to carry forward the contract, but
will not consent to the release unless
a receiver or liquidator is named for
the concern, and, since there is pay |
roll due that day, the loans must be
effected by next Saturday. 1t is al |
legged that Kelly objects to the appoint
ment of receiver and that, therefore, |
an appeal to the courts has become
necessary.
