letter from State Auditor Payey &C,
knowledging the arrival of the petition
for receiver in the case I'M. Bermond

pany, and that the matter is receiving
his attention. Argus"
1t is hard to see what there is remark
able in this. Could the state auditor have
done any less than to acknowledge the
receipt Of the liberalization.
Nothing hard to see about that The
point o. interest is not that the state
auditor should have replied and that the
letter should have been received in Rock
Island. That's natural enough-the re-
markable thing sbout it is that McEniry
& McEairy should have received it the
same day it arrived in Rock Island.
