EARKEFPER HAS TROUBLES.
The Putnam house bar in Bennington
did not open Monday morning as ex-
pected owing to the complications duo
tc the suit against George A. Miller by
| the Cook and Eurkheimer company IN
which the bar fixtures were attached.
1'his suit is contested by Mr.. Miller. 1t
H.
| Ter has claims covering all but SAL and
| it Is further claimed that the bar and
| fixtures are the property Of Mrs Miller.
| Miller states that during the past few
| months he has Paid Cock & Burkhcimer
| over 500 and that the suit against him
WAS brought without notice in an at
tempt to take advantage of him when
he did not get new license and be-
cause he stopped buying goods of the
concern. Miller lays his financial trou-
bles to Fred b. Howe formerly proprietor
Of the Putnam house who owes him over
$l20n. The license was in Howe's name
though Miller paid for it and Howe's
going into bankruptcy leaves it so that
the rebate will 60 to the bankrupt estat to
instead of to Miller who put UP tho
money. This amounts to about $50 In
addition Miller furnished liquor for
guests in tho hotel amounting to come
500 for which Howe's guests paid him
hut he did not turn tho money over to
Miller. Then Howe's bankruptcy knock
cd Miller out OF months business during
the winter and results in his license eX-
riring now instead of Juno II which
date 1t was originally issued. Miller
also paid for fixing ur the bar room, in
Guiding the metal ceiling a. a cost of
e'cral hundred dollars which Howe
agreed to pay. but did not. Altogether
Miller figures that he is out $1,000 to sl4Oo
through his connection with Howe.
Cook & Bnrkheimer's attorneys claim
that the transfer of tho bar fixtures to
Mrs. Miller was illegal and void and
that this prcperty was liable to attach
| ment under their claim.
