The financial embarrassment or Thomas
Fenstermacher, proprietor of the Palace
furniture store, has been the subject Of
remark for several days, and resulted
yesterday in the appointment by Judge
Crosby OF f. e. Joy as receiver OF FEN
stermacher's property, which includes
his furniture stock and some real estate
situated in another county of the state.
The action of the court was based on
the application of the Excelsior Furnl-
ture company, of Chicago. Joined by
Albert Rauch, these creditors having
claims of Sl35.9O and $3.50 respectively.
and the application being made on the
alleged fact that the defendant had
given preference tn other creditors since
he became insolvent. This alleged
preference consisted in Fenstermacher
recently paying judgment of S40O on
which an execution was issued and levy
made. MIR. Fenstermaeher Is not able
at present to make full statement, but
saws that the liabilities are between So
OC0 and $1,000 and his assets at least Sl2,-
900. One of the attorneys for the credl
tors caused an inventory of the stock TO
be made Sunday, showing the goods to
be worth about $500, as against SS,5oO
of liabilities. Mir. Fenstermacher has
in addition real estate not exempt
which lie estimates at $500. HIS eredi-
tors are numerous, none is III Tor
large sum, and the greatest amounts
are in Chicago and Milwaukee,. The
concern has been doing a good busi-
ness, but the trouble is ascribed to Mr..
FenSternacher's ambition to do too
large a business on too limited capl-
tai. During the afternoon, before the
receiyership proceedings had been con-
eluded, creditor named BeteSche en-
deavored to- secure his claim by serving
writ of replevin for $500 worth OF
goods, which the receiver will attempt
to recover.
