| Sycamore mills were held at their respective
offices to-day. It was expected that state

examination. Those of the Border City
mills found such condition of affairs as to
render q statement impossible, and further
assistance will be given the experts, and the
books will be exa Mined from the organiza-
ton to the present time. The Sycamore
| mills books, which are in much better con-
dition, have had careful examination by ex-

show deficiency in cash, and irregular
paper continues to come in.
