Slocum TO have halfinterest upon
the condition that he would give
his time and experience in running
| the business. On the second dav
after opening the store,it appears that
Mr.. Slocum advertised his half inter

divers occasions tried to sell out.

of Mr.. Peters, he, ON Friday last, went
to Wichita, and through his attorneys
had receiver appointed. On Satur
day morning our citizens were sur
priscd to find the store locked and in
the hands of the receiver, Mr.. Chas.
DeVore. On Monday Mr.. S. through
his attorney, Sinade motion to dis
charge the receiver, but this was
romptly overrulad by Judge Sluss,
and Mr.. DeNore still holds the keys.
