Judge McCarty opened court at $3.50
Tuesday morning and settled up some
matters that have been hanging fire
on the docket for some time The first
case to come up was that regarding the
receivership of the Dexter Wagon
works. j. A. Wann, the receiver, with
Attorney Amber, who represents the
majority of the creditors, came into
court to close the matter up. Mr.. Wann
reported that he had collected $13, 491 .25
and paid it all out excepting $S71.S1.
There are still claims against the estate
amounting to $21, 100 and the money on
hand would not pay more than four
mills on the dollar. The receiver asked
the court and the attorney for the
creditors to decide whether he should
make any further distribution or
whether he should have what he had on
hand for his receivers fees. After con-
sidering the case the court decided that
he should pay Mr.. Amber $75. then set
tie the court costs and keep the balance
for himself. This closes up all matters
relative to the failure Of the company.
