Company.

Bangor, January 8.-The list of the
creditors of the Shaw & Morse Lum Der
Company is very long one, including,
perhaps, $50 names, many of which are

The largest creditors are the Eastern
Trust and Banking Company of Bangor,
to the extent OF SIS, 829. 81, and tho firm
of Hersey & Bean of Saltwater, Mimi,
$1S,000 1t is said that the former is
secured in various ways, probably in
real estate and some endorsements; it is
supposed the other firm may also be Gov
cred to some extent by the endorsements
Among the other creditors are t he
names of some OF the best known bust
ness houses in Bangor.
There are good many outside firms in
the hole, too, and among the biggest
creditors among them are:
