given to secure same, upon what will
be classified as three grounds:
1st. That the mortgages are un
lawful preferences.
End That they were fraudulently
withheld from cord to the injury OF
the Directing creditors.
3rd. That they were materially al

Testimony was taken before the

Mr.. James ]. Corbett, whose earn
est efforts in recent years as play
er of parts, and whose success has
been quite sufficient to entitle him to
consideration as an actor rather than
as pugilistic champion, will fill an
engagement at the Grand the coming
Saturday at the head of his own com
pany in Facing the Music" The en-
gagement will be doubly interesting
from the fact that Mr. Corbett is a
prime favorite in this city, and his
new play will give him abundant OPP
portunity to demonstrate his talents
as comedian. Those who have
heard Mr. Corhett in his highly humor-
Gus monologue will not have to be
told that he is really comedian
Much of the effect of his humor is IL
its very drollness, and his friends will

Corbett's resources to maintain fast
pace in this distinctly funny play in
which he has been surrounded with

The matter of the Withholding OF
the mortgages from record remains
for consideration 1t is claimed that
the mortgages were withheld from

tween HEARTFELT and Berry.
HEARTFELT testified that there was
such an agreement. Berry testified il
denial of such an agreement. / finl

question of understanding in regarc
to withholding the mortgages from

injure Heartfield's credit.
The foregoing finding is based upor
evidence offered on behalf of The
Sterneman Clothing Co., and the
claimant Berry. In so far as the OBJ

offered no ties ony and there Is
nothing to show that they ere, i

They therefore are not entitled to any
relief and their exceptions and objec

Under this state Of facts, Sterne-

titles it to. What IS the relief to

will be put on Wednesday of next

the play itself is one of the best that
has been produced in the west for
some years. The special interest that
this has has for the people of We
natchee, however, is from the fact
that it is given under the auspices
of the Wenatchee Commercial club.
The building committee is the origin

it is given with the idea of replenish-

will be used in furnishing the new
