and Death-Notes

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 25.-D. A
! Coidington, the D street grocer, is un
able to NEST the demands of creditors,
and an attachment levied by the Sar
Bernardino Milling company this morn
ing brought matters to q crisis. 1t is as
yet undecided exactly how the bushes:
shall be closed up, but ii will be eithe
by assignment or by turning his stock of
merchandise over to the Los Angelo:
board of trade.
The milling comps this morning at
tache1 on bill for $l35, for flour and
feed sold Coddington, and the attach
ment was served by Constable T. J.
West. Before il could be released it be-
came evident that other creditors were
too impatient to wait longer and Cod
dington had instructed his attorney to
make out insovent papers. when a m es-
sage cane from the board or trade of Los
Angeles Offering to take the stock of
merchandise on the part of Los Angeles
creditors, and acquit Coddington OF all
liability in that direction.
Henry Conner. Coddingtou's attorney,
at once started out to see the local credi-
by which their claims can be satisfied,
this method OF settling up the business
will be followed.
1t was I'm possible to get any statement
OF assets or Liabilities this afternoon, but
it is stated authoritatively that the
amount owed by Codd ineton is not less
than $1,000, and pc sibly somewhat larger.
OF this thsee-fourths is due Los Angeles
wholesale houses. The balance is held
By creditors in this city, prominent
among them being ployees.
The only explanation of the failure is
that credit has been gwen too freely and
that the store is Carrying a large mum Der
of accounts from which little or nothing
can ever be realized.

small credit upon the commandant at the
