z. r.. b. CLOSED.
The Big Dry Goods Store in the
Hands of the Sheriff

Hands of the Sheriff
The z. r. B. Dry Goods store was
closed last evening by Sheriff Porter 8.
Cook on a claim fled against the con-
Germ by Marshall Field & Co., Of Chi
cago. This store was started April last
IN the Curry & Donnell building at 625
and 627 Kansas avenue, occupying first
floor and basement, with a department
stock. Zeno r. Brown was manager.
William H. Coleman, of Indianapolis,
was the financial backing OF the ven
ture. Before opening in Topeka Mr..
Brown conducted dry goods store at
Seneca, Kan, and sold out most of the
stock before opening in Topeka.
Marshall Field & Co. yesterday after
noon filed a suit in the district court
claiming that Zeno r. Brown was in
debted to them in the sum of $2,056.10
for goods sold him. Attached to the Pc
tition was an exhibit of the credits and
debts between the two firms. It shows
that the amount of goods sold the z.
r. B. was $5,O561 10 and that $4,000 Of it
was paid. This left the balance Of 81
056.10 on which the suit was brought.
The assets of the firm are said to be
between $45, 900 and $50, 900. The liabili-
ties so far as obtained are Sal, 269 IA.
This includes the 81. 056.10 owing Mar
shall Field & Co., about $4,000 in out
standing bills, and the following mortga-
ges which are on file an the register of
deeds office:
June Is, Zeno R. Brown, to William
H. Coleman, $2S, 900.
June 80. zeno r. Brown, to Burnham,
Hannah, Munger & Co., Kansas City,
Mo, $7,O8319, subject to Coleman mort
gage of $4,000, filed June 81, 1898.
June 80, ZenO R. Brown, to National
bank of Seneca, Kan, $3.50, subject to
mortgage of 81, OS3.19 filed June 80, 1898.
June 80, Zeno r. Brown, to Becham,
Mcknight & Co., Kansas City, Mo-, ST.
579.85, subject to Coleman mortgage of
$28 600 filed June Is, 1898.
The sheriff is now in charge Of the 2.
r. B. store. An effort will be made to-
day to settle the claims against the
firm and continue the business.
