at Third street and Second avenue south,
In Minneapolis, familiarly known as the
"Guaranty Loan," which stands as a
monument to the enterprise, if not the
success, of Louis Francois Menage, is
likely to be sold at mortgage foreclosure-
Judge Simpson, of vie Fourth district,
yesterday hoard testimony in the suit of
the Minneapolis Trust company, as
trustee, against the Guaranty Building
company, for the foreclosure of its mort
gage for 1539,942.40, and no testimony be
ing offered by the defense, the court took
the matter under advisement, and the
formal decree ordering the foreclosure
is expected in a few days. The complaint
recites that April 1, IMW, the Guaranty
company executed 1.500 bonds of $100 each.
$6«),000 in all, payable in gold, April 1,
1910, at Amsterdam, Holland, the boi-ds,
after authentication by the trust ccm
pany, being sold in Holland. In the con
tract was ar. acknowledgment of indebt
edness to the Trust company. The bands
were to bear interest at 4% per cent, the
right being reserved by the makers of
the bonds to redeem them at par, after
April 1, 1900, on ninety days' notice.
April 1, ISGO. there was executed a trust
deed, conveying to the trustees of the
Dutch bondholders the Guaranty Loan
building. Under this the company was to !
take up 100 of the bonds every six months,
or pay to the Trust company $40,000, to b i
placed in a sinking fund to be used in
redeeming the bonds at maturity. It
was also provided that if default was
made in the payment of the interest, or
this $40,000 for the sinking fund, the prin
cipal would become due and collectible.
The complaint further sets forth that
such default has been made, that there
are now outstanding 1,208 of these bonds,
of the face value of $523,200, and that the
Interest thereon is also due, the total,
exclusive of the court costs, amounting,
as above stated, to $539,942.40.

SENATOR BUSSE WELL
Makes a Statement of His Case to
Press Representative.
fenator for 25th District, State of Illinois, In
Good Health Again—Rheumatism Has Left
Him Completely—Dodd's Kidney Pills
the Sole Means of His Recovery.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15. — Hon. Fred A.
Busse, senator representing the 25th Dis
trict, State of Illinois Legislature, is on
his legs again and friends and ousiness |
acquaintances have been congratulating
him on his recovery. The Senator, as Is
well known, suffered for years with Rheu
matism in its severest form.
A press representative caught the Sen
ator down town yesterday and asked him
about his case.
"I see you're about again, Senator,"
said he.
"Yes," said the Senator, "I'm feeling
like a new man."
"Give me a few points about your case,"
askec"; the press rran.
"Well," &ald the Senator, "Most all my
friends know I was afflicted with Rheu
matism. I was a victim of that disease
for years. And anybody that has had
rheumatism knows what it is without
much description. It had it in about the
worst way. T did all I knew how to mere
ly get relief, much less ;i cure, without
the faintest success. Recently Dodd's
Kidney Pills were recommended to me.
I tried them and—here I am. Sound and
well. Not a touch of Rheumatism about
me."
"Is It true you gave the Dodd's Medi
cine Company, of Buffalo, a testimonial?"
asked the reporter.
"Certainly," replied the Senator. "I'm
not a man that would be ashamed to
acknowledge having received a benefit
from a patent medicine. Dodd's Kidney
Pills have made a new man of me—they
are welcome to whatever value is at
tached to my Indorsement of them."
"Do you mind repeating your testimony
for publication in this interview?" asked
the newspaper man.
"Well, as near as I remember, I wrct<9
the Dodd's Medicine Company something
like this:
"Your Kidney Pills are all that you
claim for them. I had been a sufferer for
a long time with Rheumatism and Dodd's
Kidney Pills are the only remedy that
ever did me any good. I am completely
cured and recommend Dodd's to any one
suffering from Rheumatism."
"Is that all?" asked the reporter.
"I added a line to say I was most truly
theirs or words to that effect and sent.
them my photograph which they have re
produced. The testimonial as published
is genuine and O. X., and I back it ud
personally. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured m e
of Rheumatism when everything else
fai.'ed."
the regularity of the issuance of the
bonds, the default in payments and the
terms of the contract.
E. C. Cooke, of Fiannery & Cooke, the
attorneys for ihe Trust comp-.iny in the
proceedings, said yesterday that ihe pro
ceeding was simply one of mortgage fore
closure, and was absolutely required of
the Trust company by the terms of its
trust, that it might not endanger the val
ue of the sureties held in Holland by
depriving the owners of the just revenues
of the property, which should thus be
secured to them. The pn sent owners of
the building had the ri^ht, Mr. Cooke
said, to redeem the property within the
statutory term, on the usual terms.
Thomas Lowry is the reputed owner of
half the stock in the Building conp my.
crediting the ownership of the rest to the
American Exchange National Bank of
New York. Mr. Lowry has stated in In
terviews that he has endeavoivd to secure
the bonds provided in the contract to Ik»
surrendered, but that he could not get
possession of them, and he refused to
pay the $40,000 to the Trust company for
the sink||ig fund, for the reason that he
did not *vant the Trust company to have
the supervision of the investment of the
money.
SOO GETS NEW TERMINALS.
City Council Passes* an Amended Or
dinance.
After months of delay. and negotia
tion the Soo road has at last succeeded
in getting possession of all the streets
it wanted In North Minneapolis "without
paying the city even a nominal consider
ation therefor ... The deed was accom
plished with great ease, only two alder
men out of the twenty-six voting against
the resolution.
Every alderman was present when the
matter came up. It was submitted in
the form of a report from the special
committee consisting of the railroads
and roads and bridges committees and
the aldermen of the Third ward, rec
ommending the adoption of a resolution
vacating Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth avenues north, between Second
street and Washington avenue, and
Tenth and Eleventh avenues north, be
tween Second and First streets north,
without a money consideration—to the
city.
Aid. Lelghton ordered a substitute res
olution in committee for the measure,
which the committee has been nursing
for the past eight months.^ The original
resolution called for the vacation of Sec
ond street north' without -proscribing any
limits, as well as the vacation of por
tions of Sixth. Seventh, Eighth, Ninth
and Tenth avenues. Aid. Leighton's sub
stitute excepted Second street north,
which, under its terms, is not to be
used by the Soo except at the Tenth
avenue north crossing. It also provides
that the Soo Is to bridge. Plymouth ave
nue, between First and Second streets
north, and purchase from the city lot
G, on v hich stands an engine house.
Many jobbers and other business men
were present. J. C. Eliel spoke of the
valuable services that the Soo road had
rendered to Minneapolis. Every citizen
was trying to build up the city, and all
recognized that railroads were the main
factors in building up a city. A com
munity could not continue to grow with
out them, and the railroads could not
exist without proper terminal facilities.
They must have them In order to com
pete with other roads.
Minneapolis wouldn't be where it is
today if it were not for such friends as
the Soo road.
Mr-. Eliel said there were two kinds
of railroads, those with their heads in
Chicago and other cities and their tails
in Minneapolis, and those with their
heads in Minneapolis. The Soo belonged
to the latter class, and as such was of
incalculable benefit to Minneapolis.
O. C. Wyman. George R. Newell, E. G.
Potter. E. S. Woodworth. J. S. Bell and
W. W. Heffelfinger. in brief speeches,
indorsed all that Mr. Eliel had said in
behalf of the Soo road, which, one of
the speakers declared, was a leveler of
rates and made the competing railroads
dance to its music.
Thomas Lowry narrated briefly the
early struggles of the Soo road with
the Chicago and other lines, in behalf
of the Minneapolis shippers, who were
the victims of gross discrimination in
the matter of foreign rates. Mr. Low
ry told how these lines had refused to
make any concessions or agreements and
how the Soo had finally been compelled
to fight the battle unassisted. Referring
to the avenues desired in North Minne
apolis, Mr. Lowry maintained that their
vacation for terminal purposes would
not harm the city. The abutting prop
erty was at present an eyesore- Its
conversion into terminals would give job
bers In all branches of business facilities
that are badly needed.

Meyeirdorf 'Watt an Exile From
HI-. Own Country.
James F. Blame, of Minneapolis, march
ed a man out of his office yesterday noon
at the business end of a revolver.
Mr. Blame is a email man, but lacks
nothing in physical and moral courage.
When his visitor turned upon him an<i
slapped his face, he reached for a drawer
of his desk, pulled it open, and in :»n
instant had a very aangerous looking
weapon pointed directly at his assailant.
The latter ducked at once behind some
chairs, but found that Mr. Blame was not
yet through with him. The grocoryman
was aroused. It took him but a moment
to convince the individual behind the
chairs that the outside air was much
healthier lhan that of the office, arid then
the procession began, wi.h Mr. Blame and
the gun in the tear, and the noonday vis
itor marching at the head of thi column.
Mr. Blame had thoroughly cowed ihe
man who had dared to slap his [ace, and
he left him after he had reachod the cor
ridor. Theie were several Commercial
club members and occupants of the build
ing standing about the elevator entrance
at the time of the highly dramatic exit
from Mr. Blame's office.
Mr. Blame's visitor was no less a per
sonage than Count Meyerdorf, of Prus
sia. James F. Blame Irmself is a nephew
of the late James G. lilaine. When the
latter was secretary of .-tale he befriend
ed Count Meyerdorf. who had been doom
ed to exile in Siberia, securing his re
lease, and permission lo come to the Unit
ed States, still an exile, however, from
his own country. Alter his arrival here
Meyerdorf was given a clerkship under
John Ewing Blame. paymaster in the
United States army, a brother of James
G. Blame, and father of Jamps F. Blame.
In this manner the count became ac
quainted with James F. Blame, of Min
neapolis. A short time ago he arrived
in Minneapolis. He called on James F.
Blame shortly after his arrival, and con
tinued to call at intervals until yesterday
noon.
He made two calls yesterday. The first
was made some time before noon. Mr.
Blame v/as talking with a gentleman at
the time. He asked the count what he
could do for him, and the count replied,
in a most emphatic manner, that he could
do nothing. It is said the count also
used some very profane language. Mr.
Blame attempted to pacify him, but to
no avail, and after fully expressing him
self the ccunt withdrew to a saloon not
far away. There he secured a sheet of
paper, upon which he wrote a brief mes
sage, handed it to the bartender, and
asked him to deliver it to Mr. Blame.
The paper was not folded and the bar
tender read the message. It was a chal
lenge to Mr. Blame to mortal combat, the
affair to take place at Minnehaha shortly
after sunrise this morning. The bar- j
tender tore the paper into scraps, and j
threw it into the waste basket, and the
count was informed that messages of
that character he must deliver himself.
Finding no sympathy in the saloon the 1
Prussian nobleman again ascended to the j
fourth floor and once more entered the
otflce of Mr. Blame. This time Mr.
Braine was alone. What happened in the
office prior to the slapping ofJMr. Blame's
face is not known.
The count could not be found last night.
Mr. Blame was reticent.

PLATO, Minn.. Dec. 15.—(Special.)—
The Norwood marshal spied three sus
j picious-looking characters on the passen

telephoned to the Glencoe marshal to look
out for them. When the train arrived at
Glencoe the parties could not be found.
lOn questioning the conductor it was
learned they got off at Plato, no doubt
with the intention of burglarizing the
bank here. The sheriff drove to Plato
and stationed men at different places.
The burglars mistrusted something, so
j they didnt show up until after the sheriff |
I went home. They were seen around the !

guished until an hour of hard fighting
by the department. The entire length of
the basement was scorched, and the j
smoke rendered it almost Impossible to i
combat the flames. Had the building been
destroyed It would have meant the loss
of about $50,000. In the building is lo
cated the central telephone office and a
number of lawyers" offices. A fraternal
lodge hall makes up the third story, and
the lodge of Elks was in session when the
fire started. The alarm created great
confusion. It was necessary for every
one in the building to abandon it on ac
count of the smoke and smothering
flames.
