SIOUX CITY, Ia, Apri. 21.-Three more

The schedules show assets of 1871, 1859 o.,
consisting of the stock of wholesale dry
goods, credits and $4,000 on deposit with

can be reorganiZed.

TAYLOR The assets, consisting of the pack
ing plant, line of refrigerator cars, etc.
are 1864 1876; liabilities are S2I5, COO of which
1863, 900 is due to the Union Loan and
Trust company. The Interstate Invest
ment company decided away about 100000
of property mainly to its own stockholders.
Its affairs were complicated with those of
the Union Loan and Trust company which
compelled the transfers. Mechanics liens
amounting to s555 were filed against the

owned by the Sioux City Terminal and
Warehouse company.

and President James J. Hill, of the Great

property to Mr. Hills road. Somehow the
deal hung fire, and the investment COM
pany couldn't wait. The Sioux City
Engine works has sued the Sioux National
bank for $4,000. The engine company
had $50, 600 deposited with the Union Loan

amount. This was placed in the Sioux Ma

assume that the bonds will be issued for
any sum ranging from 100000 to SIS,
