WINCHESTER BANKS WIN.
Miehle company's Petition Dismissed
by court.

by court.
notable legal fight between the
MiehIe Printing Press Company, OF
Chicago, H., and the Shenandoah Val
ley National and Farmers and Mer-
chants National banks, of Winchester,
has been finally decided by the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals at
Richmond.
The dismissal of the Miehle Com
pany's petition by the United States
court is victory for the two banks,
whose loans to the Eddy Press cor
poration, out of whse assignment the
suit grew, aggregate $4,000. The
plant of the Eddy Press, located at
Winchester, was sold by trustees. and
the Winchester banks claimed the en-
tire proceeds of the sale to liquidate
loans made TO the Eddy Press. The
Miehle Company, Dill & Collins. OF
Philadelphia, threw the Eddy Press
Philadelphia, and other creditors,
threw the Eddy Press into bankruptcy,
and the Miehle Company claimed a
prior lien on the proceeds of the sale
of the plant.
A referee in bankruptcy first decid-
ed the case in favor of the banks, and
the Miehle Company took an appeal
to the United States circuit court of
appeals 1t is not likely that the case
will be taken to the supreme court of
the United States. The Miehle Com
pany's claim amounted to $1,000. and
they have already expended in litiga-
ton more than $4,000, besides having
lost their claim.
