MAY NOT RECEIVE
MONEY ON THE LONG
LOST CERTIFICATE

Mrs Mary l.. Humes, of New York
who last week found she was entitled
to $4,000 dividends and interest on
a long lost certificate Of stock in the
Hecla Mining company, had scarcely
time to recover from the shock incident
to the news of her good fortune when
notices of attachment were served OH
the First National bank of Wallace
and the Hecla Mining company at the
instance of the Northwest Realty COM
pany, OF Milwaukee, forbidding the
payment OF the accrued dividends and
the transfer of the stock and instruct
ing them to hold the same subject to
the decision Of the court in an action
brought by the Northwest Realty COM
pany against Frank A. Lappan. The
case against Lappan was filed in the
district court at Wallace last Monday.
From the complaint 1t appears th;.t in
1893 the Pankington bank Of Milwau-
kee secured a judgment against Frank
A. Lappan and Owen Lappan, Jr.. in
the sum of S219,297.64; that the Lap
pans appeared and confessed judgment
and the judgment was duly entered in
the records of the circuit court of
Milwaukee. Subsequently $97,145.S1
was paid on the judgment leaving
balance still standing Of s122,225.55
On May "a, 1910, the judgment against
Frank A. Lappan was purchased by the
Northwest Realty company. which
now brings suit to recover the amount
together with per cent interest from
Nov. s. 1898. Following the issuance of
the judgment in 1893 it is alleged that
Frank 4. Lappan left the state OF
Wisconsin and has ever since remained
outside the state. and that he is now
a non resident of the state of Idaho.
1t appears that Frank A. Lappan
was engaged in the banking business
in Milwaukee in the early 90s and the
failure Of the bank led to the judgment
being secured against him which
forms the above suit 1t appears also
that a criminal charge Of wreckins the
bank was laid against him, and that
he left the state to escape trial and
since that time his whereabouts are
unknown. According to information
received since the suit was filed in
the district court here, the plaintiff.
the Northwest Realty company. will
show that NJ. L. Martin, 10 whom Ger
tificate No. II was issued, who is now
Mrs. Mary l.. Humes, is a sister o.
Frank \. Lappan, and an effort will be
made to prove that Lappan is the real
owner of the stock, that he paid for it.
and that his sister was remedy q fig
urehead in the transaction. The trial
of the case promises to be of unusual
interest. e. W. Beale is attorney for
the Northwest Realty company.-Wal-

PEOPLE
TIED Up ON THE
UNION PACIFIC
Edwin s. Chadwick, General
Manager of Idaho State
Life Insurance Company,
Tells of Experience.

After being through the blockade in
Wyoming in which II limited trains
were stalled and more than 100 peo-
pie for a period of three days, Edwin
S. Chadwick, general manager of THE
Idaho State Life Insurance company,
reached home yesterday, "A hours late.
but happy and mono the worse for the
experience.
Speaking of the block ade Mr.. Chad
wick stated that he left Denver Thurs
day morning at o'clock, was first
tied up at Laramie, Wyo., in the
yards for Is hours and next ran into
the big blockade at Rock River. q
small community of 20 people in which
they were held for three days. There
were IA trains and 20 engines there,
and with passengers and train crews
nearly 1900 people in the town.
COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.
When the trains were moved from
Laramie, he stated. it was expected
they could be run through, but at
Rock River the two leading trains
pulled out blockheads and the tite-up
began. Heavy storms in that section
caused slides both in front and in the
rear and completely shut them off
from the world. For practically three
days the passengers were guests of the
Union Pacific system and dined at
their expense while nearly 800 railroad
men working on the blockade were
also fed. He states that while pas
sengers were not allowed to eatt all
they desired, the meals were sufficient
for all and the feeding Of such large
number of people during the blockade
with no possible opportunity Of get
ting supplies other than those on the
diners was a remarkable piece Of man.
agement.
Mr.. Chadwick states there was no
suffering and after getting over the
first taste of disappointment Of being
tied up, the crowd took the affair as a
lark and made the best of 1t. There
were few women with babies on the
trains, he stated, but passengers took
turns in going five miles to a ranch
house to procure milk for the little
ones.
OFFICIALS WORKED HARD.
General Superintendent Stenger and
General Manager letters, Of the Union
Pacific system, were among those in
the blockade and when talked to by
Mr.. Chadwick, neither had had his
clothes off for so hours. They were
working with others to break through
the piles of shaw ahead
To show that the public appreciates
service, Mr. Chadwick displayed a
Round Robin taken on Train No. II
on which he was passenger. in which
every passenger signed a letter of APP
probation to the company for the
treatment accorded them by all railroad
men and officials and the service ex-
tended during such trying time.
