held in six counties, namely, Goliad,

O'BRIEN ASSIGNS
BARGAIN STORE.
Young Business Man Closes
Up Doors.

An assignment of the Norfolk Bar
gain store for the benefit of creditors
by ID. F. O'Brien, the proprietor to
Jack Koenigstein as trustee was an
nounced Monday afternoon. The
store was Immediately closed and the
keys placed in Mr.. Koenigsteins
hands. The liabilities amount to about
$4,000, it is estimated. The stock will
not be sufficient to cover this amount.
The failure Is said to be due to the
fact that the profits of the business
have not been enough to cover the
running expenses, Norfolk not pre-
senting a profitable field for the bar
gain store venture.
Mr.. O'Brien has been in business in
Norfolk for about two years, coming
here from Anoka, where he had pre-
viously been in business. His failure
in Norfolk will be generally regretted.
1t has not been determined in what
manner the stock will be disposed of

value of the lands was doubted at first
