Sheriff Pfennig Takes Personal
Property OF Motor Car Co.
TO Satisfy Execution
MAY REoRGANIzE COMPANY
Said that Escanaba, Michigan Capita
list May Put Up Money Enough
to Put the Company INTO the
List of Going Concerns
(From Thursday IS Daily


Randall and Taylor, representing the
Western Automatic Screw Company Of
Cincinnati Ohio, have secured in JUS
tice Court an execution against the Earl
Motor Car Company and the sheriff on
the execution has taken possession of
all the personal property of the COM
pany to be found in the plant on Pleas
ant street with the exception of prop
erty covered by previous claim and
all of the property is now stored in the
haY-loft of the barn at the county Jail.
The execution was issued by Justice
George B. McCarron after default
Judgment had been entered against the
company. There was no appearance on
the part of the company and rlain-
tiffs in the action got judgment Ior a
little over 500 and it is claimed that
this execution took practically all Of
the visible assets Of the company. The
same attorneys have claims against the
company aggregating many hundreds
of dollars, but they have taken no steps
to have the suits carried to a judgment
on account of the fact that all of the
visible assets Of the company have al
ready been taken to secure the judg-
ment Of the Ohio company. It is stated
that other attorneys in Kenosha as well
as attorneys in Milwaukee have claims
against the company and an effort is
being made to secure the collection of
these claims
While the visible assets Of the com
pany are stored in the sheriff s barn
it is stated by the attorney for the
company that an elaborate plan for the
reorganization of the company is being
proposed and that capitalists at Esca-
naba, Mich, are being urged to place
enough money in the concern to put ii
on it's feet. On account of this plan
and the execution all of the men EN-
ployed at the plant were laid off some
time ago and nothing is now being done
at the factory. The property taken by
the sheriff included one gasoline engine
a quantity Of Rabbit metal, aNquantity
of paint, some garden hose and a num-
Der Of minor articles 1t is stated that
the property taken is valued at little
over 5000 and it will be sufficient to pay
the one claim which has gone to judg
ment. Attorney A. E. Buckmaster, who
has acted in the capacity of attorney
for the company, stated yesterday that
the plan for reorganization was under
way, but that he could say nothing as

The managers Of the plant state thai
the car they made was a success anC

money is needed for the proper car

in regard to the future manufacture

1t is expected that there will be
some developments in regard to the
plant within the next two or three days

at Escanaba or Muskegon where the
people are ready to put up bonus fo1

The report that the plant would again
be used as a typewriter factory is

connected with the settlement of the
troubles Of the Visible Company. The
estate of the Visible Company, as {
bankrupt company, is still in the hands
of the court.
