suit to Be Brought Against Individual
Stockholders.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-The credit
ors of the moribund California Club,
representing claims aggregating $1,000,
met tonight and decided to bring suit
against individuals, inasmuch as the
assets of the organization are not suf-
Gent to meet their demands. This money
is due the late employees, pugilists and
merchants, and Hiram Cook, late Presi-
dent, for money advanced. Several at
tempts have been made lately to get a
meeting of Athe directors to settle up the
affairs of the CLUB, but it has been i'm
possible to obtain quorum. Several di-
rectors are outspoken in their assertion
that they will have nothing more to do
with the affairs OF the organization. Prize
fighting is dead they say, and they have
no more interest in the obsequies.
