RECEIVER ASKED FOR.
The Bedding Hall Go. Asksfthe Court 10
Appoint One for the Baliou Basket 90.

The Belding-Hall Co. Asks the Court 10
Appoint One for the Ballou Basket Co.
The Bedding Hall Mfg. Co. began
proceedings in the circuit court Mon
day to foreclose mortgage held
against the Ballou Basket Co, asking
that receiver be appointed and hled
an injunction restraining them from
paying obligations until receiver
should be appointed by the court. The
papers were served by Sheriff II. IL.
Jordan Tuesday. According to the
writ and records there are three mort
cages covering the plant, the first Tor
81 200 held by the Bedding Savings
Bank, the second for $1,000 by the
Peoples Savings Bank and the third
by the Belding- Hall Mfg. Co. whose
claim amounts to $500. The two
banks are made co-defendants as their
claims are secured by prior mortgages.
The John Ellis estate is also inter
ested to the amount of 81 900 which is
unsecured. The factory has been do
ing large business under the man
agement of Mr.. Ballou, has been run
nearly all the year round and paid It's
employees good wages, but has been
hampered by lack of capital to keep
some of the Indebtedness squared up
and credits easy. Mr.. Ballou thinks
there is no necessity for the appoint
ment of receiver and will endeavor
to so show to the court at the hearing
in about twenty days. Ii one is APP
pointed however the business will run
as usual as the company have large
orders on hand to fill and more coming
every day.
