formerly of Gallon, and president Of
the defunct First National Bank Of
Gallon, and the affairs of the Flick
ineer Wheel Company. of Gallon, win
be settled outside of the bankruptcy
court. An effort is being made along
that line.
Some time ago alleged creditors
asked that Mr.. Hays and the wheel
company be declared bankrupts. The
petition was filed in the United States
district court. The time for the de-
PENDANTS to make answer to the sppli-
cation expired Friday. Instead of an
swering, they filed bills of exceptions
to the form of the petition and asked
that, in each case, one of the alleged
creditors, who lived In Dayton, be
made to answer as to how he came into
possession of the note Of q, 900 which
he holds. The note in question pur-
ports to have been given the wheel
company and endorsed by the banl
president.
Mr.. Hays was arrested recently by
the federal authorities on the charge Of
making false entries in the bank book
to deceive the national bank examined
before the bank failed. Mr.. Flick
llnger, president of the wheel company
