Milwaukee, Feb. 1J.-Judge jenkins
to-day confirmed the action of Master

The order of the court is founded on

one will ever know the exact amount
that the company was and will be
obliged To pay for the property owing
to the many obligations 1t was obliged
To assume in complying with the con-
ditions OF the decree. Outside of this
amount the company. IL appears, has
paid SffO.OJ0 into court to satisfy the
bondholdcrs who did not come into the
reorganization scheme. Out of this
sum the new company paid all the ex-
penscs of Master Carey in connection
with the sale. SO far as the purchase

pay one penny of the cash. but instead

holders of $4,000 of the general third

holders of these amounts that the COM
pany has paid s4iO.550 into court. The
bonds were examined by the master
and the amount they were receivable at
stamped as partly paid and then all
were returned again 10 the new COM
pany. For the balance then unpaid. the
