E. Haynes about 5 o'clock Monday af
ternoon and half an hour later posted
. a notice on the door to the effect that
} a personal property mortgage, covering
the stock furnishings and fixtures, had
been placed in his hands for fore
closure by William B. Vinton. The
notice stated that the mortgage was
issued by Mr.. Haynes to Mr.. Vintor
. March %, 1901, and the conditions
named therein had been broken
Charles Niles, clerk for Mr.. Haynes
was placed in charge as keeper. Just
| what the course of action will be has
not been determined, though probably
Mr.. Vinton will make an effort tC
sell the business to some individual
who would carry it on. A bill due
4 to a New York firm, pressing for pay
? ment, was the cause of Mr. Vinton's
i action in foreclosing his mortgage
4 Everyone will regret the necessity Of
| having the store pass into new hands
: but it is another illustration of the
[ great difficulty of conducting business
