DRUG FIRM ASSIGNS.
Trent Store VIII BE Managed 10y
Creditors.

(From saturdays Daily)
Pending further action by Credi-
tors, the Trent drug store Is now
under the management OF j, l..
Richardson. Mr. Richardson acts
Immediately for the Western Bank
a. Trust Co and he also acts for
the other principal creditors, l.. o.
Thompson e. Co. and the Crowdus
Drug company The Trent firm turns
the business over to the creditors
and as soon as complete statement
OF liabilities and assets can be Sc
cured final settlement OF the bust
ness will be arranged.
The Trent Drug company has been
owned and controlled by I. f., r.
o. and Thos. Trent. IL has been in
business in the Carson building for
something over a year and during
that time has enjoyed good retail
drug business. Negligence in look
ing after details OF the business has
involved the firm 80 deeply that the
CHIEF creditors have e1acted an as
signment In order to readjust ac-
counts For the last few months the
Trent brothers have been deyoting
much OF their time and capital to
developing some oil enterprises on
their lands in oklahoma and this
has to a considerable extent aggra-
waited the confusion in affairs here.
It Is said that the firm commands,
independent OF the business here,
ample assets to meet all obligations
and that the business will be set
tied up satisfactorily to all creditors.
But for the present the store will
continue under the management OF
the temporary receiver.

With one basket to the good, the
girls in cherry and silver had reason
70 cheer at the end OF the first half
in the basketball game between the
two teams OF High School girls at
the Deandl theater yesterday after
noon, but the better team work and
greater weight OF the black and gold
girls told In the second half and
when the whistle blew for the end OF
the second half, they were winners
by score OF to of one OF the
prettiest athletic contests ever seen
in Amarillo. 1t was the first ex-
hibition game of basketball ever
played in the city and, as it had been
advertised very little, few people
knew of the game but those who saw
the game yesterday will come to the
next and will bring others with them.
Jennie Lee Hedrick captain and
center OF the black and gold, fea-
tured through every minute OF the
game, with the team work of the Ne
mainder OF the team, kept sthe
ball around the black and gold bas-
ket for the greater part OF the time.
Less perfect in team work but with
speed and endurance that brought
her into the play all over the field
was Ruth Dewitt, the center for the
cherry and silver. Both teams
though showed splendid endurance
that not only kept them going
through both halves of twenty-five
but kept them at practice hardly
less strv4.J.5 sh the time be-
tween halves. Individually and as
teams the girls showed themselves
through athletes and every mem
her of both teams plays straight
basketball to win every second Of the
time till the whistle blows.
