the Petition.

The firm Of Rose g. Burckle, at 1913
East Tuscarawas street, is in trouble
on account of the alleged actions of one
of the members of the firm. ]. B.
Roush OF this city, was Tuesday morn
ing appointed receiver of the firm by
. Judge Mccarthy and half hour later
the store was closed for an invoice of
the stock.
The petition filed in common pleas
, court by Attorneys Smith g. Yohe as
attorneys for Harry w. Rose, alleges
that on or about May 1, 1897, Pierre P.
] Burckle, the defendant in the suit, en-
tered into a contract OF partnership
with plaintiff for the pur-
pose of selling goods and mer-
. chandise under the firm name of Rose
& Burckle. Each was to contribute
an equal amount of capital and was to
devote his whole time to the business.
At present the value of the stock of
boots and shoes amounts to $1,000. 1t
is further alleged that defendant, Pierre
p. Burckle, not regarding his duties as
member Of said partnership and in
violation of contract did withdraw
from said partnership and convert to
his own personal use, the sum of $277,
and left the city of Canton without
charging to his account the amount so
withdrawn. His whereabouts to plain
tiff is unknown, although diligent
search was made to locate him. AS
the stock was in danger of being at
tached and sacrificed and the assets
asked that receiver be appointed.
Accordingly Judge McCarty appointed
Mr.. Roush.
Harry Rose was seen at the store in
East Tuscarawas street just as he was
turning over the keys TO the receiver.
He was very much broken up over the
affair. He said he and Burckle were
! getting along nicely and he could in no
way account for his partners actions.
I'VE were doing nice business and
were getting along in most satisfying
way" said Mr.. Rose. "We had no
trouble and / know that Burckle had
no troubles at home. He was married
but eight months ago and was appar-
emily happy and contented. Every
thing was as usual until last Friday
when found that all our funds In bank
and all the money in the money drawer
was gone. My partner was also miss
ing. could scarcely believe that
Pierre Burckle would do such thing
and 1t was some time before / realized
what had happened. / saw Mrs. Burck-
le and she could not account, In any
way, for her husbands absence. They
had lived happily and there was not a
cloud In their nuptial sky. When it
finally dawned on her that she had been |
deserted she broke down completely
and is now prostrated with grief. We
are all greatly surprised"
MRS. BURcKLE TALKS.
Mrs. Burckle was seen at the home |
of her mother, Mrs. Eva Beck, 600
West Reynolds street, where she and |
her husband resided. The young wo-
man looked pale and wan as she talked |
to News-Democrat representative.
Her husband had been model man 80
far as his home relations were con-
cerned. They had not only been hus-
band and wife with all that those terms
imply, but they had been good friends,
the best of friends, as Mrs. Burckle put
1t. His leaving was to her like a
thunder bolt from clear sky, and she,
like the absent mans partner, Is at a
complete loss to account for his going.
