ALBANY FIRMS WCTIMIzED.
FORMER HOTEL MAN LEFT CRED
ITORS IN THE LURCH.

Eatman soId Out His Interest in the
Albany Inn and Left for Parts
Unknown-ToId Creditors to Come
for Their Money Yesterday Morn
ing, and when They Came He
Was Gone-AIbany People Are
Indignant.
Albany, Ga, March AN. W. Eatman,
who. since oct l, last, has been lessee
and manager of the Albany Inn, has left
this city for parts unknown, leaving be-
hind a horde of angry creditors.
Eatman came to Albany from st. Au-
gustine, Fla. where he had previously en-
gagged in the hotel business When he took
charge of the Inn, he made number of
Improvements, and has apparently been
doing profitable business.
On yesterday he announced that he
transferred his lease and good will to his
brother. Mr.. r. c. Eatman, and Capt. A.
j. Scott, who would continue to conduct the
hotel. When his creditors learned % the
transaction they crowded around him and
demanded that their accounts be settled,
but We're assured by Eatman that the trade
had not then been quite consummated,
and that as soon as he received the money
that was coming TO him, he would square
up every dollar of his Indebtedness. He told
a number of parties to call this morning
and get their money.
Eatman was not in the city, however,
when his expectant creditors looked for
him this morning. He left on the Baltl-
more and Western Cannon Ban train
shortly after midnight without saying good
by to anybody. Not even his brother had
any idea that he contemplated leaving soon
and il is generally understood that the
latter was treated worse by Eatman than
anybody.
The missing man left unpaid bills that
win probably not fail far short of $1,000,
one firm being caught for nearly a third
of that amount There is great indigna-
ton over the affair among those who have
been vctimized and it has caused a SEN
