Any number of legal entanglements
are likely to grow out of the recent fail
ure of Henry G. Sidle, the veteran
banker, before his estate is finally settled
and the creditors begin to receive the
cold cash on their claims. The amount
that they will get out of it will depend
largely upon the outcome Of. the litiga-
tion which is to ensue. IT the legal fight
results favorably to the great majority OF
those holding notes or having other
claims, the few preferred creditors. those
holding collateral for the debts due them,
will suffer, if not, the common creditors
will be the sufferers. The total assets OF
the Sidle estate amount to very nearly
S175,0OO, according to the schedules,
whlle,as is usual in such cases, the liabil-
tiles appear very much less, about
sl5oeoo.
