Methodn I'nrxiied by Gillet.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 26.— The where
abouts of Grant C. Gillet, the big Kan
sas cattle feeder, whose failure was
announced yesterday, are still un
known. Probably twenty-five different
Kansas City live stock commission
firms are lndorsers of Gillet's paper,
v.hich is Fcdi to be scattered through
the banks of the country, from Denver
to New York city. All of the local
']<-r-!are that the paper they hold
is amply secured, and that there can
not possibly be a single loss to any
holder. Of the cattle in the feed lots,
something over 10,000 head were pur-

] from one Denver firm, that of
Dake <.<- Keeler, to whom Glllet is said
t, have riven a mortgage of 1206,000.
These cattle are three-year-old .-:
and cattlemen assert a low estimate of
their present value is $30 a head, or
about $10 v' head more than the inter
eat in the cattle held by the Denver
firm. Another lot .>f cattle is about
8.600 head, wrhtefa (fillet and atfothe'r
dealer own in Oklahoma. Those cattle !
are said to be mortgaged for $ ; .
and are said t<> be worth a third more
than the amount against them.
A remarkable thing- about toilet's
methods of doing business was that he
kept no bonks, ami took no one into
his confidence. All the details of his
enormous deals were carried In his
head, and this complicates matters.
(Jill, t is described as a earelass flnan
c.ir, and th Be who know him best now
sa| that sheer luck carried him
through many of his heaviest deals.
Many local stockmen declare that he
would not run away, even If he knew
his debts would wipe out his herds and
ranches, because he believes that luck
will always attend him. Neverth.
there was talk today that he had mort
gaged much of his cattle twice and
left to avoid arrest.
THE FATAL DEAL.
The deal that carried Gillet to the
wall was a $125,000 loan held by a Kan
sas City live stock firm. The m n<.y
was advanced to him on 8,500 head of
feeding cattle In Oklahoma, and the
mortgage MI due last week. The Kan
sas City firm declined to extend the
loan. QUlet tried hard to get money,
but, for the first time in his career, he
was unable to get backing. Close upon
the luMs of that came a deal that he
had made with Vane & Gates, the
ArlsOM cattle magnate*. Gillet had
paid $10,000 as earnest money on 4,000
head of cattle in the Pan Handle of
Texas, which Vane & Gates owned in
the famous 'J-A" ranch. These cattle
were worth $120,000. and GHiet was un
able to raise the money to take them.
He saw his JIO.OOO go to buy a liability
for the loss to Vane & Gates.
As soon as it was learned here that
Gillet was being: pressed by one or two
of his creditors, others sent their rt-p
--t&tives to his ranch to protect
their loans. Meanwhile, the plungt-r
Eastern holders of
GUlet'a paper, which had passed
through the hands of the Kansas Clty
linns. began telegraphing, and today
few of thi Kansas City houses are try-
Ing t" sell live stock paper.
NOVEL METHODS.
GilKt's methods of operation were
novel QlUet would buy cattle in big
bunches, us many us 5. '"'00 in a bunch,
with bon i'.vui money, secured by a
mortgage on the cattle, and would ship
them to h.s Woodbine, Kan., ranch
and s<.l! them in small lots ti feeders,
taking their notes. When these notes

for th^ir loans. They would sell the
to bankers and other? all over

enormous profits which made the com
mission men anxious for Gillet's pa-
THE ST. PAUL GLOBE
per. They were suspicious, It is said,
of his methods, but the profits were
so large they took the risks, each hop-
Ing to get from under before the crash
came, If one did come. A great deal of
Gillet's paper Is past dve — much more
of it falls due soon. If the Investors
East, who have bought these notes,
demand payment at once, it will cause j
trouble. Gil let shipped 75,000 head ot j
cattle to Kansas City this year and j
as many last year. He oftem made a j
profit of $5 a head, but his" expenses
were enormous.

Attorney Orosl.y. for the defense, con

Among other things the witness denied
that she was a hypnotist and used

She denied that she had been caught
lying and stealing in Port Huron, but
admitted having been in jail for the
larceny of $70 worth of goods, the case
being settled without prosecution. She
aleo admitted drinking beer among a
crowd of men in the Cook house at
Port Huron, and other things detri

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.— Holdings
of gold in the subtreasury continue to
be burdensome and the government of

pardonable artifices to get rid of them.
Still they pile up. The statement of
the director of the mint that gold is

the local officials today.

New Chance for Trouble In the Val

LONDON, Nov. 26.— The prospects of
a conflict between France and England
over an outlet to the Upper Nile coun
try have been unexpectedly increased
by official advices to the foreign office
received from Khartum.
Both the British and French flags are
now flying upon the banks of the
Bahr-el-Ghazal river, and it is a ques
tion which of the two nations will
withdraw from this much coveted strip
in the dark continent.
The advices from Khartum to the
foreign office state that two British
gunboats satled up the Bahr-el-Ghazal
as far as Meshra-er-Rak, where they
found a military post with the French
flag flying. The gunboat returned to
Sobat, but hoisted the British flag at
several points along the river.
