The Assets Are Shown To Be Almost
 Double the Liabilities.

A report on the condition of the Prowell Hardware company was made yesterday morning to Maj. Charles J. Allison, United States clerk, by Receivers c. E. Thomas and W. II. Kettig. The total assets are given at s172, ,642.9S and the total liabilities at S7S,S27.S9, showing that the assets are almost double the amount of the debts owed by the firm.
 The report also shows that the stock holders of the company owe s57,9S0 on their stock, the largest part of which is owed by W. J. Prowell, Jr.
 R. J. Powell in explaining the apparent shortage of W. J. Prowell, Jr., said last night: While the statement shows w.. J. Prowell, Jr with a large indebtedness to the company the greater part of this is for stock subscribed for and for which the company had his note He was en- 6eavoring to retain control of the com pany.
