When the holders of stock in ’ the Minnesota Threshing Company were visited by deputy sheriffs Saturday af- ternoon and this morning in an effort to collect the assessment of 100 per cents-on the par value of the capital stock they were much put out and se- veral of them were very angry. One holder of ten shares "Why this is the worst skin I ever heard of.” He had some hot Words to any about the promoters and he was going around asking his friends to kick him. The more the facts connected with the floating of this stock became known the more astonishing fact is the one that a company which was started 23 years ago should now be trying through a receiver, to assess its stock- holders for debts. V It appears that the men in this city most active In pushing the stock were former United States Treasurer Daniel Nash Morgan and the late Tho- mas Cook Wordlu. First Dlvldont 8 Per Cent. The original stock. sold here was to be preferred and part of the bait held out to the nibbling fish was sugared with the statement that the company owned enough machinery alone to more than cover the preferred stock. Things appeared to go along swim- ingly for a while. At the end of six months a dividend of eight per cent arrived and it certainly looked like a good thing. But that dividend was the end of its goodness. Like Fund W. and other schemes that have caught those who desired to get rich quick, the dividendc ceased and In a little while word came that a receiver had been appointed. Reorganization. Then came a reorganization, and the company was to be known as the Minnesota Threshing Company. it was to continue to make cars and other big thlnfs, and was to also turn out threshers, which were in great demand about that time. The effect of the reorganization was to turn the original preferred swck into plain common, and the investors sold it has been mighty common—co common that no one would take it as a gift. in due time the Threshing Company Went into the hnlnds of a receiver and there was more trouble. Receiver af- ter receiver has been pained, and ac— cording to some of the stockholders. each one has got rich out of the com- pany while there was no improve- ment in dividends. Matters Goes to Court. Finally the matter got into court, The Massachusetts bunkers who had invested made a big fight. One of the banks In Norwich was mixed up. Stockholders ware asked to subscribi- mouey to light the assessments. It appears that the bankers won‘ out, hunt the common stockholders lost. There is every reason to believe that the courts of this state will be asked to pass upon the gegnlity of the claims before some of the stockhold- ers pay up. One Case Returned. One case from Westport has already been returned to the Superior Court. Receiver Converse has brought suit against Attorney Joseph (I. Hyatt and E. A. Nash of Westport, administrw tors of the estate of t he late George Bouton. The administrators have been summoned into court to show cause why they should not pay the assess ment on the stock, which was original sold: me you ever slop to think how very iv purchased by Mr Bouton. fowreaiiy hot days we have during Westport Caught Heavily. Westport was caught heavily. It is said that several members of the Nash family out In as much as 10.000. Some of those who brought the stock have died and their estates have been not tied. Just who holds the threshing stock Is not known. Some of the stock was sold in Stratford but Deputy Sheriff Charles 111. Stags, was not caught He recalled that Mr. Morgan approached him and tried to sell him some, but he woaid not bite. _ Among those who were caught In h‘nirfitsltl we... Charles F‘.

Will Eventually Own the Gorhuin Estalo STRATFORD, August tin—A; deed was recorded In the tbwn clerk’s of- fice Saturday transferring the [pro party on the corner of Main street and Stratford avenue from Ann Gorham Wight to George A. Porter. The for- mer. however, reserves a life interest In the property. The story connected with this prop- erty reads like a chapter from the Ar- abian Nights Entertainments. The piopciiy In question came to Nehem- Iah Corliani.froni his parents. Mr. Gorhum died some time ago and his propeity was willed to. Ann Wight, commonly known as Ann Gorham. Ann (iorham is a colored woman. well along In years and well known In Iowa where she is well received by everybody. As a small girl she was adopted by. the mother of Nehemiah Gorham and the two grew up togeth- or as brother and sister. She serv- ed the family without salary and dis interestcdly during the whole life of the mother, and later buried her adop- ted brother, after caring for him as dovotedly as any sister. This seemingly ill assorted. combinnI tion was perfectly satisfactory to both and the brother did not forget the care the colored woman had given his mo- ther, his wife and himself. For years Mr. Gorham was busi- ness manager of the New York Sun and left a moderate estate when he died. Since the death of Mr. Gorham Miss Wight has made her home with Mr. Porter_ for whose children she had formed a strong attachment. The deed sets at rest much speculation con- cerning the disposition that would be made of the Cor-ham estate. Mr. Por- ter has been an undertaker here for many years. He is now living at a shore cottage on Fair-field Beach. OHIO TO CONNECTICUT. Trip of 1,800 Miles Successfully Made In a Naphtha Launch. (Danbury News.) How would you like to take a sail- Ing trip from Ohio to South Norwalk and return. covering about 1.300 miles. In a naphtha launch? That Is just what Capt. J. W. M. Wheeler of Elyria, . is doing, and be Is In town now. getting ready for his return trip. Capt. Wheeler enjoys the novel trip so Well that this is the second one of the kind, coming here in the same boat a year ago. With the exception of the ride from South Norwalk here, and about eight miles from his home to Lake Erie, Captain Wheeler has made the entire trip by water. Captain Wheeler is the hero of num- erous exploits, among others taking long bicycle trips, he having ridden from Ohio to Bethel on his bicycle more than once. After coming here on his wheel, Captain Wheeler determin- ed to make the trip by water, and last year laid plans for such n_trlp. which he carried out successfully, and is re peating again this year. He built the boat In which he sails, and which is fitted with a seven and a half horse power engine. it Is 25 feet in length and about five feet in width. lie has named it the Advertiser. from the fact that painted on its skins are the names of various business firms that he is advertising. laptaiu Wheelonlei't Loraine June 30. Various stops Werc made at Ashto- halo. 0.; ‘..rlo Penn. . Buffalo. 'l‘ona wands, Rochester, Syracuse. lltlca and Schenectady. He stopped three days at the Albany Yacht Club, then follow- ed the Hudson to New York and up the Sound to South Norwnlk. laptain Wheeler's trip was not without some exciting Incidents, for he run onto a pile of rock in the bar bar near Buffalo, and In going down the Hudson, encountered in. storm. during which the waves rolled over the boat at one time with such force as to break out one of the cabin win- dows, and soak about everything In the boat. He also at another time had a little accident to his launch, which he succeeded in repairing so as to continue all right. In stopping to make repairs he tells how he probably es- caped what would have been one of the roughest times of his trip. as a fierce storm and blow came up while he was In harbor. that he barely es caped. In speaking of the amount of gaso- lino consumed In making so long a trip, Captain Wheeler said that it re- quired from 1r 0 to 200 gallons to run his engine. The tank on the bout holds 42 gallons, It being necessary to make stops at different points along the journal to replenish the tank. During the journed Captain Wheeler lives mostly on the canned goods, but a good deal of food Is bought on the road. Sleeping Is done on the boat. as It is fitted with a neat little cabin.
