MACKEY A BANKRUPT.
Judge Bradford Handed Down De-
cision Yesterday Afternoon.

Judge Bradford in the United States
Court yesterday handed down decision
in the famous bankruptcy case of Will
liam ID. A. Mackey, adjudging him
bankrupt. The case has been before the
court for sometime. The testimony was
heard last week.
In his opinion Judge Bradford said:
1.-The claim of Walter G. Montgomery
against the defendant is not included Ill
the amount OF admitted probable claims
of the petitioner sufficient to sustain the
petition, nor does the court decide that
he has claim which may be proven i'll
due course against the estate of the de-
fendant i'm bankruptcy. In view OF these
facts it is unnecessary to determine
whether the amount Of the probable
claim exclusive of the claim of the pc
titioner last joining in the original pc
tition was sufficient to warrant an adj
Indication of the bankruptcy. The de-
PENDANT must be adjudged a bankrupt"

Fires Drawn and No Attempt Mad"

Plttsburg, Sept. IL. = No attempt

there was Il large crowd Of strikers
around the mill 10 keep out any mer
who tried to go back. After the lively
scenes of the previous day none of the
EMPLOYEES showed the least inclination
to return, but even if they had no work
was opun for them. Total suspension
of the National Tube mill and othei
plants of the National Tube company
will likely follow the two unsuccessful
attempts to resume operations.
Fires have been drawn ut all the Nc
Keesport plants of the National rune
company. and the iiremen ana few 9TH

the mill have been notified not to re-
turn to work until furthcr notice. The

National Rolling min and ut the Mo-
