NOT 4 SHADOW OF A CASE,
According to q Report of Ex-Judge Fetter-
man, Who Acted as Master

According to q Report of Ex-Judge Fetter-
man, Who Acted as Master.
c. S. Fetterman, Esq, yesterday filed his
report as master in the case of c. Mardorf
against the Acme Tanning Company, E.
Wertheimer, President; J. G. Brant, S. J.
Mack, w. L. Kahn and S. FIoersheim, di-
rectors, and Guckenheimer & Bros, stock
holders. Mardorf was stockholder in the
tanning company and brought the suit to
prevent the sale of patents by the company,
to stay executions issued against it and have
a receiver appointed. He alleged that the
proposed sale was made to have Quicken
heimer & Bros enabled to purchase the
company's assets at a low figure; also that
judgments given them, on which executions
were issued, were not for actual value re-
ceived and were given to force a sale
The defendants denied the charges, claim
ing all that had been done or intended was
for the best interests of the stockholders
and that the judgments given were for
actual cash advanced to support the COM
pany in its business.
The master. in his report, after reviewing
the case, states that there was no evidence
produced in favor of the plaintiffs charges
except his own vague and indefinite testi-
mony, and there was not a shadow of a case
against the defendants. He therefore rec
commended the dismissal Of the suit at the
cost of the plaintiff.

Operations in the Butler field have
duieted down somewhat. Harmony and
Zelienople still remain thecenter of oper-
ations. There is less activity in this quar-
ter, but the production is holding up with
marked tenacity. The southwest and north
west lines have been clearly defined, and
the most promising lead now seems to be
to the north and northwest. In the vicin-
ity of Lancaster there are a number Of test
wells drilling that will have an important
bearing on the further extension of the
field to the north.
The Evans City Oil Company is starting
its No 4 on the Eicholtz farm. The Island

foot when the accident occurred.

have been debarred from obtaining pos
session for several weeks together, and
finally have had to give the job up in
despair.
'Once bit. twice shy" is especially
applicable TO the brokers' mans vista
ton, and it is, of course, extremely diff
ficult to levy distraint a second time
on the same people. When, as occa-
sionally happens, several creditors are
.elamorous for their money at one AID
the same time time, if one is fortunate
enough to be able to obtain possession
and levy a distraint, the others are
naturally anxious to emulate his exam
pie. AS an instance of how diff
cult task may be accomplished the
following incident occurred:
The tenant being in arrears with his
rent, the landlord promptly distrained
on certain of the furniture and had it
removed. Another creditor on at
