court by some of those who have lost
by the company, this morning. The
hearing will be at the court house at
10 o'clock. The petitioners who are
represented by Harvey d. Eaton of
Waterville, claim that there is money
in the possession of the directors of the
company, that was obtained by them
when they We're in operation, and
which is due the petitioners. At the
time the United States court denied
the company the right to use the mails
for the business of the company, they,
so it is alleged, sent to those who had
claims against them, checks for the
amount due them, and it is further
more claimed that these checks were
of no value, as no money was in de-
post at the banks upon which they
were drawn.
