The crisis was reached the following
summer. They met afterwards in a
cafe. Hunt was haggard, unkempt. He
had fallen off in weight, and his
Sunken face, bloodshot eyes, trembling
fingers, were signs of the terrific
strain ne had undergone. Fitzhugh, in
marked contrast, never appeared more
fresh or more self-contained. They
had ordered champagne. and when
they cIinked their glasses he smiled
reassuringly at his white-faced COM
pani0n. 1t was only the bare flicker OF
a smile that vanished as suddenly as
it came. Fitzhugh did not often smile
in those days.

Otis gets in Pay way Ill--crush him!
And with spasinodic movement his
fingers contracted, and from wrist to

the ripping muscles of his arms stood
out in cords.
Otis was planning another of his
celebrated bear raids. He was re-
solved it should be the mightiest he
had ever led. He gathered in money
from every available source. Realiz-
ing the market disfavored him, he was
determined to conquer 1t by sheer
force of capital.
His first onslaught, started in April,
made little if any impression, and he
vedoubled his attack. Still the enemy
showed no sign of weakening. Again
and again he charged, but every rush
was met and repulsed.. He was over
whelmed with buying orders. They
swamped him from every side. He
stopped, puzzled He had not ac-
| counted his opponent half so power
full. Otis, however, was not the hesl-
tant sort of general. Marshalfng his
heavy artillery, he dashed upon the
/ battlefield, fighting with The implaca-
bility that from the beginning had
characterized his long career in finan-
cial warfare. This charge, too, was
easily buffeted. But no white flag was
shown. Beating a retreat, the grim
old warrior gathered his forces to-
gether for fresh onset. The next
clash he decided, would be the decis-
I've one.
| BY the middle of June Fitzhugh was
all but car of the pit.
| When Fitzhugh formulated the pool
to corner July wheat 1t was understood
that, no matter what might arise, he
was to be free to follow the dictates OF
his own Judgment. For this and other
reasons the names of the Packingtown
millionaires were never disclosed, and
few knew the main fount of his mann
moth resources.
His marvellous vitality gave contin-
ual wonder to his associates. He was
made of iron. He would work eighteen
hours day, dispatching with sureness
and speed the thousand pressing duties
that crowded upon him, taking his
meals On the wing, and requiring OF
the twenty-four but four or five hours
for sleep, Most amazing OF all, he
displayed never an i'll sign of the red
hot tension under which he worked,
but seemed to thrive on 1t. He was al
ways fresh and eager for each days
tasks. ssh. s3
His last battle with Symington Otis
was the most spectacular of the final
trilogy. 1t began on the morning OF
July first and lasted for three terrific
days. As the gong sounded on that
first morning Fitzhugh appeared in the
pit, girded for the fray.
With the stroke of the opening gong
OTIS lieutenapts began to sell wheat.
There were three of them, with orders
to sell half a million each. Then came
an unfathomable surprise: Fitzhugh
sold wheat Bushel for bushel, he sold
as fast as his adversaries.
The price reeled and dropped dir
zily. The preceding day it had closed
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1920-08-12

strong at one dollar; by eleven that
morning it was unsteady at ninety-six
and a half.
At the height Of the furious conflict,
Fitzhugh, who was the core Of 1t, be-
came aware of some one tearing at his
arm and yelling in his ear:
aDan! Danl Have you gone crazy?"
Beholding Hunt screaming at the
top of his voice, he wrenched loose
from the mob surrounding him and,
seizing his subordinate under the arm
pits, lifted him clear outside the pit.
At the close Of the days session
wheat had dropped to ninety-four and
an eighth, where 1t swayed uncertain
". Otis had sold two million bushels.
Fitzhugh had sold like amount.
When he reached his office Fitzhugh
found his three coadjutors waiting
him In ominous silence.
"Good-day, gentlemen"
There was no answer beyond an I'M
easy cough from Hunt. Fitzhugh
looked at the three stony faces silent
" condemning him.
"ln good truth" he laughed, "a Dan
lei come to judgment !"
But when he sat at his desk the yer-
teal lines were between his brows.
He took a deliberately long time to
light cigar, then, extinguishing the
match and depositing it carefully in
an ash tray, he settled himself COM
fortably in his chair and said:
"You all remember 1t was agreed in
the beginning was to run this thing,

not at all"

Marsh. who had been holding his
/ tongue with difficulty, what in the
name of common sense do you mean

Glad that one Of the tribunal had
shown some life, Fitzhugh swung his
chair round brislsly so that he faced
the speaker.

NORTH MONTPELIER

H. l.. Clark has purchased of Walter
Martin and Ward B. Carpenter of
Plainfield the wooden mill and water.
power rights in Lower Cabot, known as
the Hayes Wooden mills, and will move
his butter box machinery and sawmill
there at once. For 81 years Mr.. Clark's
property has been located about half
way between North Montpelier and
East Calais, and gasoline and kero-
sene have been used for motive power,
costing about $4,000 in that time. His
change in location, with w%aterpower at
hand, will prove a great improvement
and lessening of expense. The water.
power al Lower Cabot is in some re-
spects exceptional, as the dam is of
split granite, with a solid ledge on
both sides and spillway. The building
which Mr.. Clark viii use as a mill is
a three-story one and in nice shape.
