FRED WEY IS A BANKRUPT
FILES A PETITION IN THE FED
ERAL COURT.
Hotel Man Schedules Debts Which
Aggregate $4,000, While His
Assets Amount to Only 1850.

A. Fred wey of the Wey hotel filed
petition in bankruptcy yesterday in
the United States court through At
torneys A. c. Bishop and w. A. Lee.
The petition recites that the assets
are s1,509.55 and the liabilities are s16,
22O.45. OF these latter. $500 is due in
Silver Bow county, Montana, for taxes,
s7,224.2O on secured claims and Ss49.23
on unsecured claims. The assets are
made up of notes, bills and securities
amounting to Si,45S.35 and stocks and
negotiable bonds amounting to S51.
All of these debts are owing TO per-
sons of Butte and in the east. They
do not concern Mr.. Wey'S business
here. He conducted a hotel in Butte
some years ago and became involved,
but his creditors in Butte did not press
him for the money. Suits which were
filed by eastern creditors have brought
about the bankruptcy proceedings. The
largest creditor is the First National
bank of Butte. which holds note for
Sc. $50 secured by deed to property for
$4,000 now held by ex-senator Lee
Mantle.
..These proceedings do not in any way
affect the Wey hotel said Mr.. Wey
last night. 1.-THE bankruptcy arose out
of nv business ventures in Butte. The
Wey hotel here is doing fairly well and
IL will continue to run. I have gone
into the court on the advice of my
Butte friends. who know that II l have
money / will in time pay all my debts"
