A clever little story was narrated here
to-day by member of the Next Door"
company which placed at Lewistown on
Wednesday. Several weeks ago the manage
ment secured date at Hersker's theatre,
Mahanoy City, but decided later on to cancel
it in preference to Kaiers grand opera house
On Tuesday the manager of Hersker's theatre,
John Hersker, accompanied by Mahanoy
City constable, went to Lewistown armed
with an injunction for recovery of damages.
After arriving there a search was made for
either the manager of the company or the
star, Archie Roger. At the hotel where the
troupe registered the writ was read to Mr..
Roger. who said he knew nothing of the
date arranged. Although the manager of
Mr.. Rogers company listened to the difficulty
it was impossible for the two men to locate
him, and they were compelled to leave for
home without serving the papers. The
management was arrested in Mahanoy City
to-day.

COMBINE !
First Shenandoah Case Taken Into the
Bankruptcy Court.
PHILADELPHIA MEN START IT!
1t is Stated That Plan Has Been Devised
by Which One Can Force Proceedings
and other Creditors Share the
Expense and Fronts.

According to statements made by a Phila-
delphia lawyer who was visitor to town
yesterday there is combination among
wholesale dealers and iobbers in various lines
of goods in that city TO force people in this
region who may hereafter fail in business
into the bankruptcy court
The legal gentleman referred to camo here
to investigate circumstances surrounding the
failure of business man of town who was
recently sold out at Sheri1's sale While he
was not disposed to go into particulars or
furnish names, he intimated that his trip had
been quite successful, as he had secured afii-
davits bearing upon the removal OF goods
short time previous to the Sheriff's sale and
the aflidavits would be placed on file with
the commissioner in bankruptcy at Easton,
| before whom the lawyer instituted proceed
ings before coming to this borough.
| said the lawyer upon reverting to the fist
topic The coal region towns have the worst
reputation in the state especially during the
past five or six years, and it is due to the
wholesale failures that have taken place with
preferred claims, whereby wholesale and
jobbers in the cities have been debarred from
collecting their claims"
The attorney added that his case was the
second instituted since the new bankruptcy
| law went into effect, but it would not be the
last. The claim is comparatively small one
but it is to be urged through the bankruptcy
court to enforce a pro rata distribution
| among all creditors concerned, even though
the cost be double the amount of the
| claim upon which the proceedings
are founded. This cost the
lawyer said, will be maintained pro rata by
all the creditors interested. By this plan all
will get something on their claim. 1t was
| also stated that the bankruptcy proceedings
| allow exhaustive investigation relative to
assets, and in many cases creditors will be
enabled to find more than are developed at
Sheriff S sales. The case of the Philadelphia
lawyer is the first taken into the bankruptcy
court from Shenandoah.
