Receiver for the Klondyke Creamery in
Brighton Files His Final Ac-
count in u. S. Court.
HARD BLOW FOR CO OPERATION.
Farmers Who Invested In the Co-Opera
tive Plant VIII Lose all Profit
Heavy Losses to Few.

Cooperation among the farmers of
the county had hard blow today when
the final report of the receiver Of the
Klondyke creamery was filed in the
United States Court at Milwaukee by
Receiver C. D. Barnes.
The report shows that there will not
be single cent for the payment of the
creditors Of the creamery, and added to
the losses from the stock the farmers
will lose every penny that is due them
for milk delivered at the creamery.
The report shows that the liabilities
OF the concern, outside of the stock
claims, were little over two thousand
dollars, while ali that could be realized
from the assets was six hundred dol
lars. OF course every cent o. this was
needed in settling up the affairs of the
bankrupt, and it is possible that the
Receiver could have been able to use a
little more money if it could have been
secured from the plant aud machinery.
The heaviest losers in the deal are
Frank G. Hartnell and B. III. Stocker.
These two men were ardent supporters
of the cooperative scheme to operate a
creamery, and IN order 10 keep the
plant going they had endorsed the
paper of the company to the extent of
S1.5O0. This they were forced to pay.
The losses to the other farmers are in
the most part very small ones, running
all the way from few dollars to a
hundred dollars. Most of these bills
were for..milk delivered at theycreamery
just before it closed. An effort was
made to force the stockholders to pay
these bills, but it.was found impossible
TO take such an action.
The creamery was at oae time one of
the most successful plants in the
county, and it paid good dividends for
several years. Then there came a fight
among the stockholders, and charges
of acknowledgement and appropriation
Of funds were thrown out, and the re-
suit Of the contention was an applica-
ton for the appointment of Receiver
for the creamery. The litigation ate
up what little there was left and the
farmers were forced to accept their
losses with Il smile.
The creamery is now in operation
again, but it is not receiving a very
large business and the new owner will
have hard time to make it paying
proposition.
La the meantime it is probable that
it will be long time before the farm.
ers of Brighton start another co-opera
tive creamery. 1t is said that mum.
Der of Kenosha people held stock in
the company, and they will share the
losses of'the rural population.
