The local sensation of the hour is the bust
ness collapse Of Chief Burgess AdolphI p.
Tabor Mr.. Tabor was the most exteusiyo
retail dealer in meats and provisions in the
county and was looked upon by the public as
one Of the most prosperous of the Polish
and Lithuanian business people i'm this section
Of the state. He had retail establishments In
| Mahanoy City and Minersville, in addition TO
his prosperous looking place in this town In
connection with the latter alone he had five
| delivery wagons on the road.
The first intmation Of the collapse was
| given by the publication Of the following
notice in the town newspapers last night;
'Noticc OF purchase. Notice is hereby given
/ purchased the butcher business, store fixtures
] stock, &c, OF A, 7, Tabor at Shenandoah NAH
anoy City and Nlihersyile.
Nshenandoah, Pa, Aug, Both, 1917 e'
Before the above appeared in print the
situation had become known to the business
| world and the several commercial agencies
| bad notice of the case. As q result statesmen
/ from several houses were in town looking for
Mr. Tabor. They got no satisfaction, save
that he had transferred his business to the
party whose name is signed" to the above
notice. 1t is quite impossible TO describe the
feelings of some of the claimants. One
stated frankly, well, now that the crash has
come do not see how any of us can realize
anything y" ,t' n'
one Of the creditors who appeared to be
excelleutly posted stated this afternoon that
he believed that Mr. TabOr's liabilities will
run close to, if not over $50 900, Among the
approximate enumemtions made by this
creditor ARE the following: Swift q CO.
Shenandoah branch)A $4,000; Swift & CO..

Some of the creditors are disposed To shield
the true amount Of their claims and in Civ
ing figures state them as much lower than
the above, but the HERALD's Informant this
n afternoon said; ~ on, can take that list as
being as near correct as you can hit it at the
present time. There are smaller claims rum
ming into good sized aggregate that 4 can
not recall at present. One Of tile most
distressed creditors was A IT, Rim, a member
of the Allentown firm Of Rinn's Sons
! y. A. Murphy, the Mahanoy City manager
\ for Swift & Co., and John Garfield, the Sheu-
andoah manager for. the same company. also

Mr. Murphy would try to institute criminal
