THE CATTLE KINGS' ' CRASH
Failure of the Swans For a Million and the
Reasons Therefor.
OVERLOADED WITH RANCHES.
IluyitiR For a Din Spccttlntton and
Falling to Sell Settlement of
Two Wore Htrlkos The 4th
or July and K. of Ij.
A Mammoth Crnsh.
A ru inor was current on the streets yes.
turday morning that tlio well known ilrni
of Swan Uros. , of Clicyonno , Imd fulled.
The rumor , upon investigation , proved
to be true. Inquiry : it Hratlstroet's
nucncy , which Imd received a telegram
from Cheyenne , revealed the fact that
Swan Bros , hud made a general assign
ment for the benefit of all creditors.
Their liabilities amount to $1,100,000 , as-
sotts nominal , amounting to about the
same. They claim they will bo able to
pay in full , but the bank authorities hold
a difloreut opinion.
Swnn Hros. arc interested in Chicago ,
Uullnlo , Now York , Kansas City , Cleve
land , St. , lee , St. Louis , Sioux City , Phil a
dclpliia , Omaha and Cheyenne.
The linn is composed of A. II. and
I'lios. S. Swan. Henry S. Swan has not
juen connected with the firm for some
time , lie is now connected with the firm
of C. T. Lindsoy & Co. , wholesale rubber
roods , Omaha , and will not in any way
be alibcted by the failure of his brothers.
On March UUil , 1837 , a ( statement of the
condition of Swan Uros. was made by
their private secretary in answer to a re
quest trom Hradstroet. This statement
was in substance as follows : "We have
total assets consisting of lands , bonds
.ind stocks aud our joint interests in live
slock and real estate" ail amounting to
$1,225,001) ) . Total liabilities jointly and
severally $400,700. Our not worth
o-day as a firm outside of a few indi
vidual investments is $83-1.201.
J'liis is according to invoice taken in
February , 1887. "
At that time the Hradstrcot agency at
Cheyenne consulted a number of local
authorities , who estimated the firm to be
worth between $000,000 and $700,000 , but
the agency believed that they roallv owed
more than they staled , and accordingly
cut tlieir rating from $1,000,000
down to $500,000. The agency
liad heard rumors 'for ' some time afloat-
ing their credit.and was requested to
obtain a statement as given above.
It was further stated that their chief
interests are now in cattle and land , and
while they acknowledged that their worth
Imd depreciated during the past
few years , they still claimed to
bo worth the amount given above ,
and the same was believed to be true by
the local banks. 'At that time it was eivou
out thai they were about to dispose of a
large number of cattle and wipe out a
largo portion of their indebtedness.
A. 11. Swan has always boon regarded
as a man of excellent business ability.
Both brothers arc highly esteemed by
overybodyand credited with being good
managers , but they have boon obliged to
stand a serious shrinkage for A number-
of yoats.
The failure of Swan Bros , will undoubt
edly affect in a limited degree at least
the affairs of a number of
Omaha mou who arc heavily interested
in the South OrnahaiLaud syndicate and
Union stock yards , in which enterprises
the Swans are interested.
Those Omaha gentlemen held a meet-
ng yesterday to consider tlio situation ,
tlio result of which is not known to the
public.
Mr. A. H. Swan who has been in Chicago
cage for the past week , passed through
Omaha Sunday night for Cheyenne. It
was expected that lie would remain over
here yesterday and hold a conferaico
with the Omaha parties , but for some
unknown roaaon lie failed to keep his ap
pointment.
Tlio failure will ornate gouoral sur
prise among the public , and especially
among the citizens of Omaha and
"Wvoming.
"While tlio failure may have been a surprise -
priso to the general public and to these
not conversant with the firm's business
during the past year , it was by no means
such an unlocked for event among well
posted cattlemen. Thorn are a great
many rumors and theories going the
rounds TXS to the cause of this sudden col
lapse. The true statement 'Of allairs ,
however , is as follows : Something like a
year ago a syndicate was formed of west
ern cattle owners , in which A. II. Swan ,
of Swan bros. , was the prime mover.
The parties interested all agreed to turn
their cattle in at a curtain figure and an
agent was sent to Scotland to make n Bale
ot the slock. Several months were con
sumed in tlio negotiations with various
Scotch and English parties and
the members of the syndicate
began to think that their scheme
was a failure. At this point a
Tirivato cablegram was received by Mr.
Swan , from the agent in England , that
the SHO ! had boon made , and at u figure
considerably in advance of what the syn
dicate Imd placed on the cattle. Mr.
Swan thought he saw in this a chance lo
make a line thing , and accordingly ho
bought out the other members of the syn
dicate , paying them , or agreeing to pay
them , the price placed on tliocattln when
the syndicate was formed. After lie had
bound himself to take the cattle the Pale
in Scotland did not materialize , and Mr.
Swan was left with the cattle on his hands.
He had pajd a good deal more than the
cattle wore actually worth , oxpoctinjr that
they were already sold * for still more.
As it turned out ft was Mr. Swan who
was taken in and not the Scotchmen.
This deal amounted to souii'thing like
seven or eight hundred thousand dollars
and tlio loss incurred by it was more than
the firm could stand.
About seventeen years ago A. II. Swan
was a farmer m I'icasantvillo , la. His
land was heavily encumbered and he
was far from being a wealthy man or
one oven In comfortable circumstances.
It was then that hi ) embarked in tlio cat
tle business in Wyoming andboinga
naturally reckless speculator , made rapid
strides toward wealth , ns cattle in these
days were going high all tlio timo. It
was a good ueal with cattle as it
has been with real estate
in Omaha , it nmdo no dltteronco what
price was paid , they -were sure to go
higher.
A prominent ranchman who has been
conversant with the Swan Bros. ' busi
ness for feorun time back , remarked that
although the firm had been rated as high
as $1,000,000 , ho did not bclievo that
they were actually worth over one-
qnartorof that sum at any time. They
obtained their rating on tlio strength of
the large transactions made. At onetime
time thuv made a cattle deal of about a
million "dollars and people regarded
them asjimmenscly wealthy , not stopping
to consider that the proceeds of their big
deals were not all profit.
WHAT THEY BAV.
.T. D. Hicks , president of the First Na-
bank of CUoyouno , 53 stated to
linvn telegraphed lo the Omaha National
bank that thu assfgiirhint had boon made
but that the firm would "pay dollar ( or
dollar. " '
Hogarding this teltgram John Coail
said lust evening : , "Uf course , It is In
thia case ns in aUoliur big failures the
policy Is to let the creditors down easy.
When the assets fcvoii jiro published , as
they nrc liable to bo In the Cheyenne
papers , there will bo no wiiyof determin
ing accurately what the creditors will
tret. The assets will ; in nil likelihood , bo
put in by Swiui Bros. .t full stock value.
Hut n great deal dl that stock is in
ditches , lands am } oilier properly which
is not at present saleable and may not
really bo worth the face value for years.
A good deal of the laud owned by the
Swans , too , was bought from parties
who had only final receipts and have
not received a patent. You know what
a final receipt is worth on l&nd lu
Wyoming under the present administra
tion of the land ollico. A man is just as
liable to full to get n patent at all us he is
to obtain one. "
Hon. William A. Paxtou said that ho
had $ : ) r > ,000 of A. H. Swan's paper. That
was the possible extent of his loss by the
failure. Of course he expected to get a
largo percentage of that. Ho claimed to
have no Information as to the c.\aet rea
sons for the assignment.
P. K. Her xiid be know nothing about
the failure more than ho had obtained
trom the HKI : yesterday afternoon , lie
know that Swan was u very heavy bor
rower and largo speculator.
Air. Mellugh. a gentleman who had
known something of the Swan' Bros. '
business , us well as that ot the Swan
Land & Cattle company ( limited ) , wild
that lie did not think that company would
bo ajlcoted except so far as Swan's con
nection with it us manager was con
cerned. The heaviest stockholders of
that company are Scotch and Kng-
lish gentlemen. A. H. Swan was
the m an ago r of the company
and organized it. Ho was mud
$12,000 , yearly salary , but did not draw
any salary for last year or the year before -
fore us no dividend was declared. It
wns > his opinion that Joe Firnk , of Chicago
cage , was probably a creditor of Swan.
Colonel Hooker , one ot the veteran
stock agents of the west , said that ho did
not understand the failure. He had al
ways regarded Alox. Swan as a pretty
safe , although heavy speculator. He had
no doubt but that he would be on his feet
again in a short time.
From other sources it wrts learned that
the real cause of the failure was , as indi
cated above , Alox. Swan's uttoiupt to
clean up a nice little fortune out of the
purchase of ox-ovornor Warren's , ox-
Governor Baxter's and other cattle
owner's properties and their subsequent
sale to a Scotch syndicate. To do this ho
was obliged to borrow heavily and uiort-
gagedeeply whatever he had and also
whatever his brother Thomas Swan ,
bolter known as "Black Tom" to distin
guish him from his cousin "lied Torn , "
also possessed. The iailuro does not
come-from a depreciation of tlio value of
cattle so much as'it'Joes ' from the ina
bility of the Swan Bros , to dispose of
those stock and ranch properties with
which they had loaded themselves , "lied
Tom" Swan and Henry Swan are not in
volved in the failure nsiar us known.
From a Wyoming 'man. who was met
last evening , considerable interesting
gossip concerning , ! the career of Alex
Swan in the territory was obtained. He
' ' Alox'Swan to Wyoming
said : 'Whim came
ing lie was poor. He was a worker ,
however , and shrewd , aud he rapidly
pushed his way to the front as ono of the
heaviest operators hi the cattle market ,
earning the title of , tlio Cattle lung. He
has never boon worth , really , more than
$200,000 , and yet , by * the magnitude of
the deals ho has been the principal in , he
has been rated at $1.000,000. lie is the
principal holder of stock In the Wyom
ing Hereford association , of which
George Morgan is manager.
"Swan ran as republican candidato'for
territorial delegate to congress nnd was
bealcn by Mortm E.Post , democrat , a
.lew yoais ago. Up to that tiuic ho was
quite prominent in political mattersHe
keenly felt his dufoat , attributing it to
treachery of republicans , and has never
taken any especial interest in political
affairs since. He has a son anp a
daughter. The former married the
adopted daughter of a La-ramie City
wholesale grocer , named Trabing. She
was an estimable girl , a talented vocalist ,
and it was the opinion , of the people of
Cheyenne that young Will Swan had
done well. Such , however , was not the
aoparcnt opinion of Ins parents , and it IP
generally believed they affected a sepa
ration even after a child was born to the
young couple. Swan's daughter Lulu , in
addition to being a pretty and engaging
young lady , was considorcd a great mat
rimonial prize on account of her father's
reputed wealth. She had numerous
suitors , and among thorn wore
some of the host young inen
of Wyoming , besides two or three rising
young live stock dealers of Chicago.
One gentleman was accredited with the
honor of buiug her prospective husband
for a year or more. It w"as no little sur
prise , therefore , when her engagement
to K. S. Van Tumuli , a man
of considerable moans and highly re
spected In Cheyenne , but nearly twice
nor ago and a widower , was nunounced.
The wedding was celebrated with great
eclat. Fully 500 guests wore present.
The church and house wore profusely
decorated with llowors , the bride's tros-
scan was from Worth and of thn most , expensive -
pensive character , and champagne
flowed like water at a reception at the
parental rcaidenco which lasted from 10
a. m. until the bridal party departed for
San Francisco in the eyoninc. Upon
that occasion , also , Swan presented his
daughter with a handsome residence but
just erected by 1) . 1) . Dare , a hardware
merchant. The residence was sold to
Swan for $21,000. Yet , if reports be
true , it actually cost him nothing , in view
of this failure , lie assumed a mortgage
of $14,000 and gave Dare Ids note fo$10 , -
000. Lid ) Dare got any other security S
1 guess not. What was the object ol
asking security from a man reputed to be
worth $1,000,000 ! At joust , Dare was
hero a few days ngo trying to negotiate
the note. 1 am imformcd that ho did nol
succeed. " '
' Everybody m Cheyenne and Wyoming
will bo sorry of this failure of the
Swans , " the speaker continued. "Alex
Swan has brought a uroat deal of capital
into our country , Mvml ho has done as
much for the territliri- any other one
man. Ho isn't dowjred by this , by any
means. Ho is irresre.ssiblo and will come
up again. Still it hurts. "
"Tho ofl'oot o thti ffnttle crowinc industry -
dustry will not be'hi nil damaging , "
said Colonel Hooker last evening. "The
cattle are there just the same , and wortli
just as much money ife they were yester
day. If the Swans' nssignmont comes
trom overloading , as 'J suspicion it might ,
it is only an initaueb.of that biiahiuss reverse >
verse which overtake * men who bite oil
more than they cart1 cjiew. It was said ,
bv a man who kno\v Alex Swan well ,
when ho hoard of hi.s big deals five 01
six yours ago , "Swan will bo n millionaire
in ton voars or ho will not bo worth e
dollar. "
A Cheyenne Account.
CIIRVEXNK , Wyo. , May 1C. [ Special Tele

Into the cattle biwlnossl Their nffnirs pros-
percd wonderfully , and for years the name
of Swan has been synonymous with finan
cial stability in this territory. Alex Swan
bn been especially noted for the extensivt
character of hU enterprises. Several years
ago he organized the Swan Land & Cattle
company , the most extensive outllt , perhaps ,
In the country. The stock was chlotly dis
posed of to Scotch capitalists and Swan was
ret.iincd as general manager. The Ogalnlla
Land & Cattle company was another bit ;

THE K1SK .lUim.Ki : SINUKKS.
The exposition building held ono of the
largest audiences last night , thai has been
drawn Ihcrc for many months. All Iho
W. C. T. U. were Ihoro , with lliore
cousins and all the children , making a
very comfortable audience. The jubilee
singers were received with unbounded
enthusiasm ! and as usual with a tea moot
ing crowd. Every number was oucoied ,
making the programme very lengthy.
The singers deserve all thai is claimed
for them , bul no concert programme ,
however excellent , can bear doubling.
The voices of the jubilee singers have all
the cello like richness and pathos thai | is
peculiar lo Iho colored race. There was a
completeness in the harmony of the
voices lasl nicht. an organ-liko fullness
that is seldom attained in part singing.
There was a depth of feeling , too , thai
appealed alike to all kinds of critics ,
whether musicians or otherwise. The
solo singing was also pleasing , all of thn
singers having sweot.sympalhelic voices ,
free from tlio slightest suspicion of
harshness or thinness. The jubilee
singers will appear again to-nighl at the
exposition building.
