had been casting his lines around In
this city to see what could be done
But, the best offer that was made him
was Sl75,0O0 His bu siness instinct told
him he could do better than that, and
he hurried OFT to Chicago to try his
hand shere and confer with the credit
ors. Mr.. Critchlow found an investor
in Chicago, a man of considerable
means, named j. u. Groendyke, who,
after hearing Mr.. Critchlows state
nents, offered ssoO,ODO for the business
OF the Utah Implement company, This
would not square up the Indebtedness
account as il would require $4,000 to
liqulaate all OF these: but 1t was $4,000
better than any Salt Lake offer. and
when the matter was laid before the d.
recrors they accepted 1t with some
gtacrity There were 20 creditors AT
the meeting and Mr.. Mitchell OF Racine,
Wis, who had attended the meetings IN
this city, and was a large creditor him

accepted. Mr. Critchlow had previous
