STATE HOUSE CLOSED.
ATTACHED BY oDELL G HERZoG FOR A
MEAT BILL.
Charles Jenkins also sues the Lessees for
an Omnibus and Horses that
had Vanished.

The new lessees of the State House Hotel,
so the story goes, have not made sensa-
tional success of their venture.
For some reason or other the receipts ran
far behind, and. Messrs. Wilson & Kinney,
the new proprietors of the hotel, would
have gone under ere this had not the State
Fair come to their temporary relief But
their creditors also had their eye on the
fair-week receipts. The first week was not
so bountiful as was expected, so nothing
was done.
On Wednesday of this week, however, it
was understood that business was ''boom-
ing" at the State House. Odell G. Herzog,
the butchers, ON that day commenced an
attachment suit in the court of Justice of
the Peace Henry, and the papers were
served that night and the house closed .
AS The hotel was full OF dodgers at the time,
Constable Martin did not
COMPEL THEM TO vAcATE,
Or the managementto to stop caring for them;
but contented himself with closing up the
bar-room and standing guard over the re-
The papers in the suit brought by Odell
q Herzog set forth that the plaintiffs fur
nished Messrs. Wilson & Kinney with
$25l 43 worth of meat and that no part of
this sum has been paid, though it had
been requested several times William
Gett, Jr, is attorney for the butchers.
And the troubles OF Messrs. Wilson &
Kinney do not appear to end here.
Another suit was commenced against
them yesterday, this time in the Superior
Court. The plaintiff in this case is Charles
A. Jenkins, owner of the State House
property. 1t is suit in repleyin, and is TO
recover hotel omnibus valued at $3.50,
two horses, worth $500, and a set of double
harness valued at $50. This properly, the
plaintiff claims, belongs to him and is be-
ing unlawfully withheld from him by the
defendants. He sues for their recovery
500 damages, costs of suit and rental at
the rate OF SIS per day for the use of them.
Johnson, Johnson & Johnson are Mr..
Jenkins attorneys.
The papers in this case were given to
Deputy Sheriff Beckley to serve, and he
was instructed to take possession of the
property in dispute. The deputy how
ever
COULD NOT FIND THE BUS
And horses, and upon investigation, found
that they had suddenly been taken out OF
the city and driven in the direction of the
Lake House. He secured a team and
set out in pursuit.
Upon arriving at Swiss Station he found
that the bus and horses had been left there
at one the stables. He also learned that
Mr.. Wilson, one of the State House lessees,
and man named Mclaughlin had accom-
panied the big vehicle. Mclaughlin showed
the stable-keeper bill of sale from Will
son, and said he had purchased the rig,
and was going to take it to Oakland. As
the horses were tired Mclaughlin suggested
that the outfit be left where it was for a
day, and the stable-keeper agreed to care
for it.
The Deputy Sheriff drove the vehicle
into town and had it safely housed in an
uptown livery stable.
Constable Martin, who served the papers
IL the attachment suit, stated last evening
that he had been unable to find Kinney,
and he believed he had left the city.
