epecial to Times-Republican.


Nevada, Sept. 29.-The business OF
the late Fair store at Maxwell VIII
be closed out on the 9Th of next
month, when E. M. Steadman re-
ceiver in bankruptcy, will sell the
balance of the stock at auction. The
FAIRS succeeded in attracting a good
deal of attention during their rather
brief business career in Maxwell. es-
pecially of the sensational kind. when
their failure was made known a cou-
pie of weeks ago. Less than a year
ago they landed in Maxwell with s2,-
100 and went into the mercantile bus
iness. Their books show that they had
been doing a large business and at
one time had stock which invoiced
over $65,0O0. Where this stock went
Is now the problem that is confronting
the receiver and the creditors. The re-
ceiver's invoice shows that the stock
was worth but $1,000 when they left
and there were outstanding bills to
the amount Of nearly $4,000.
About the time of the failure of the
Fairs the Maxwell Tribune came out
with statement to the effect that they
had shipped out large quantities of
stock, prior to leaving and that they
had been guilty of considerable crook
Cd work Last weeks Tribune publish
ed letter from the Fairs. charging
the editor Of the Tribune with willfully
incorporating the facts in the case,
and this the Tribune published with
out comment They insisted that they
had been strictly honest in their deal
1ngs and their failure was due entirely
to unfortunate circumstances. All Of
this, however, without attempting to
tell where the $4,000 stock dwindled
away to. This is the unfortunate part
Of the deal.
Due bills had been issued by them
to a number of farmers for produce
and now the farmers are beginning to
realize that they have been victims Of
q double--c cross deal as well as the
wholesalers. Receiver Steadman Is
up against Chinese puzzle in en-
deavoring to make $1,000 worth OF
goods pay $4,000 in bills. The where
abouts of the Fairs is now unknown.
