as receiver of the Minnesota Water

in an, order issued Saturday by Dis
trict Judge Fred w. Sem of Wa,
SEGA. The company was placed un-
der receivership at the request of
the Berwipd Fuel company Of Min

This does not mean that any of
the assets of the original Waterloo
creamery will be affected. it was
stated today, the order including
only the Minnesota Waterloo
Creamery company of this city.
1t is not the intention Of the re-
ceiver to operate the plant. but it is
probable that it will be sold. There
has been evidence of interest on the
part of outside parties in the pur-
chase of the plant. The equipment
is the very finest and one OF the
most complete of any creamery in
the state and if sold it should yield
enough to provide payment of the
claims of the creditors in full.
In case a deal is negotiated for
the sale of the concern, it is regard
ed most likely that it will continue
to operate here, as the equipment
would be extremely difficult to

kU-KLUx IN ROCHESTER
Hooded and Masked Men Fit About
the City, Is Report

Rochester, January 9.-Tae -ku
Klux Khan is a reality IN Rochester.
This was the substance OF mes
sage that came over the wires to
the police station last evening when
citizen told the local police that
four white shrouded figures were
gathered in front OF a house in his
block! The man who phonet was
highly excited and wrought up over
the affair and the appearance O. the
ghostly figures. He claimed they
house once or twice aud then re-
turned, apparently in consultation.
Officer Louis Claude was sent cut
to the address given and found two
or three citizens gathered talking
over the incident. They said the
men who were dressed in white and
masked had disappeared in the dir
rection of RommePs dam shortly af-
ter the phone call had been sent IN.
Officer Claude found no other evl-
denceS of disturbance and reported
the matter to the office on his re-
urn.
This is the third time within the
last few weeks that various par
les have reported the appearance OF
the mysterious members of the ,Ku
KluX Khan. A short time ago {.
young woman making her way
home on the southwest edge OF
town ran into two men dressed in
white, hooded and masked seated in
roadster. There seems to be no
connection with these reports and
the mysterious phone calls which
have also been reported but there
are unknown forces in the city who
are either trying to scare the public
by doning the CARDS of the Ku Klux
Khan or there really is a branch OF
the secret order in this city.
