The merger involves $300,000,000. Under the plans for the merger, ev ery shnro of Lnko Shoro stock will be traded for five film res of stock in the now corporation. The Lnko Shore wns incorporated on 'August 14, 1809, in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York. It was n consolidation of the.

This is ono of tho first lcgul steps tuken in con junction with the merger. Names of witnesses who are alleg ed to have hoard Loris Martin, game poaching murderer of Game Warden A. S. Hubbard, make death threats against his victim, arc being collected by the prosecutor's office to appear before the February grand jury. Some of these witnesses come from Ashland, somo from this city, and some from Gold Hill, nnd will bo tint one of the links in the chains of evi denco the state will wrap around the notorious defier of game laws. Though Martin is safe behind the bars of the county jail, bis influence is still felt in the Trail district, lies- idents of that section gave Coroner Kellogg valuable tips, but always with the admonishment that their names be withheld, for fear of tho wrath of Martin's friends, and those who hold the same contcraut for the gnino laws. Martin's boastings of his prowess with a ciin were regular fentur.es of his rare visits to civil ization from his mountain cabin. In one of the local banks, it is said, Martin has on deposit between $2000 nnd $3000, his life savings from the sale of skins nnd lynching. nnd this nmount he will spend in try ing Wi escape n life terra in state's prison. Close examination of the coat Hubbard wore whetwhe met his death shows that it wns buttoned to the throat, a bullet hole passing through both lapels, with a downward slant, disproving Martin's contention that ho saw the butt of Hubbard's re volver, when hu fired. The funeral services of Game Warden Hubhun) were held from Asiiinnu lucsilny nttcmoon under the auspices of the Elks, many in tending from this city.
