change at noon today.
The property was bid in by the reorgan-
ization committee which has been at
work for some months, at s1,l0oO00. As
there was some opposition from the mi
nority stockholders OF the corporation, it
was thought possible that they might at
tempt to outbid the committee, but al
though differences OF opinion were evil
dent among those interested in the af-
fairs OF the concern, only one bid was
made.
Before the property was put on sale an
attorney representing Fred f. Squire and
Frank o. Squire. made a statement in
which he said that II. c. Bowditch. the
assignee. was in error when he announced
that the good will would go with the sale.
The Messrs. Squire he said. would deny
the right of purchasers tn iise the name
OF the John T.. Squire company.
Fred III. Williams. representing Mrs.
Kate L. Mullen. daughter OF the late
John r. Equire. also gave notice that GER
tain rights in the Squire estate were en-
tirely separate from the business OF the
corporation.
The property sold includes that held by
the allied companies OF the concern in
New England. except those which had
disposed OF their business since tho
Squire company went into the hands or
an assignee. The sale affects the property
in Lowell Mass, and Bangor Me.

Mrs. PIgutt Satisfied at Last
She Has Been Deserted.

Beverly, n. j., Feb 1s-After two days
the stories from Colorado concerning
Henry Herbett Pigott, the wealthy resi-
dent OF this suburb, have convinced his
trusting wife that she has been deserted
by her husband, and that ne has indeed
married Mrs Pigotts niece, Miss Byram.
Mrs. Pigotts manner has materially
changed since Saturday. when she indg-
nantly refused to believe that the man
she had known until he left here, two
weeks ago, az a loving husband, had left
her. She now considers herself the VIC
tim OF misplaced confidence, but she still
knows nothing OF the alleged Boston di-
vorce
Colorado friends of Mrs Pigott who
have been searching for her husband have
telegraphed her:

from stories published i'm Philadelphia

nor details OF Philadelphia stories"

phone. spoke of her husbands first wife

vorce was obtained in Boston, and was

Mrs. Pigott the first said: while I
lived in Brookline, Mass, with my chill
dren, from January, 1899. to June, 1900, I
was never alone there. All that time |
was constantly with some member OF the
family. We came TO Beverly In Septem-
ber. 1900 My husband lived with us
here and / had no intmation that he
was interested In any other woman or
was thinking OF obtaining a divorce. No
summons was ever served on me, and /
have been unable to learn that such
divorce has been issued"
After telling of trip abroad a few
years ago, Mrs. Pigott said: II will not
get any divorce. I do not believe i'm that
] ann not Roman Catholic, but believe
that marriage is more than legal con-
tract. More / would not get a divorce
