WILL GO INTO INSOLVENCY.
Mr.. Ira G. stockbridges Creditors Took
Possession Yesterday.


The many friends of Ira G. Stock
bridge will be panied to learn that
steps have been taken to petition
him into insolvency. His liabili-
ties are placed at $4,000 to $25, 900,
and assets nominal. The heaviest cred
itors are S. A. Holbrook of Freeport and
John F. Proctor of this city. They are
secured by mortgages on the stock in
the store and they took possession yes
terday.
1t is well known that Mr.. Stockbridge
finds himself in this condition from his
desire to give the Portland public the
best OF entertainments. Twelve years
ago he began to give courses at City Hall
and for ten years has had a regular
course, sometimes two and three courses
each season. Last fall the entertain
ments palled on the people, or else many
were disappointed because entertain
ments promised the previous sea-
son were not given, and they did not re-
spond to the sale of tickets, and Mr..
Stockbridge had to give up about one
half of each course. It is a matter Of
great regret that such should have been
the issue of Mr.. Stockbridge's ventures
and his hard work, and he will have a
great deal of sympathy. He has given
up all his property. We regret to hear
that his brother, Mr.. Will Stockbridge,
is possibly involved. We hope this may
not prove true.
