The County clerks Office opens out for bust

December Goth, though the day after Christ
mas and all the attendants of that great holi
day, proved no exception. But apparently
that early hour was none too soon for one par
ty. The clerk and Office attaches hadn't lin ber-

Samuel Frank, of the Eva Frank Oak Hall
clothing store rushed in on important business.
he was in great haste, said so. Then he
stated he wanted to make an assignment; he
made it, naming G. NJ. Bennett assignee. The
better had just been lifted Of the last
quirl in the last letter of the
record of assignment, when legal
representatives of the firms of Campbell, Bur
bank Co.. of Chicago, and Albrecht, Lam
pher, Finch Co., of st. Paul, came in and
fled attachments for Indebtedness At first it
was determined to fight the attachments, but
such valorous blowing subsidized, and the sher-
III took possession of Eva Franks
store on Jackson street. An inventory
of stock gave one exhibit of value to the
amount of $500. The next day, and the next
day. and on several following days, matters
doomed up in a vexed way. Against Franks
small stock great big debts we're arrayed.
Henry Leopold, of Leopold Bros. &
Co., of Chicago, heard of the failure,
came up to look after his interests,
$500 worth of interest. Mr.. Lindauer.
of Chicago. also had an interest came, saw and
saw nothing for his $4,000. So on. In fact,
Frank s failure was bad one. Very bad, for
he had made large purchases IN September,
winter goods. sales had been light, yet Frank
had little no stock hand. To all uues-
lions relative to what he had done with his
goods, Frank was profoundly reticent.
And it may be added that no revelation
about the disposition of the stock has ever been
made. Franks break had the evidence of
being fraud, and further investigation de-
clared it to be big fraud, aggregating about
$2SOCO with no large percertible assets.
The first attachment creditors seemed to have
the best of it, the Leopolds and others seemed
entirely out.
AN ARRIVAL FROM CHICAGO.
Matters assumed this shape and Franks fail
ure had generally passed out of mind, until
yesterday, when second chapter of the trans
action, with dramatic accom- paniments, hap
ppned.
It appears that Leopold Bros. &
Co., not being able to secure any
thing for their $4,000, determi, ed to
secure Frank if they could. They went at it
by getting him Crank indicted in Chicago for
obtaining goods under false pretenses. This
step was followed by obtaining requisition
