TEMPORARY RECEIVER
Appointed for Oil Engine Company
Hopes That Affairs May Soon Be

There was a general regret in local

many hopes are expressed that the

however objected to this proceeding.
and, as a consequence, and with other
developments, the situation is now not
quite as favorable as it was hoped it
would be.
The present outlook is that to save
the concern the directors will have to
come forward and meet the claims. f.
A. Jacobs and c. B. Wheatley hold a
first mortgage on the factory and real
estate, and another mortgage on the
machinery and tools, held by out Of
town parties, leaves little equity in
the corporations possession. other
methods to right matters may be de-
vised as it was stated in court Mon
day that the firm had orders for sew
eral engines, some in the process of
construction and a considerable
amount of repair. work If the engines
can be completed and delivered, the
receipts with those from other work.
will help tide over the situation until a
final adjustment is reached. The COM
pany has been doing business in Dam
ielson about two years, and added a
new line of manufacturing to the bor-
ough's industries. Industrial condi-
lions have been none too favorable
during that period, and this fact, cou-
pied with other circumstances in the

Providence Man Alleges Fraudulent
Sale of Land.

The first matter on short calendar
was the case of Dominica Romeo of
Providence VS.. william Williams, a
real estate promoter who did bust
ness in Danielson about two years ago
and who. it was reported to the court,

after a surgical operation. The ac-
ton was brought against Williams for
alleged fraudulent representation of
himself as owner of a tract of six
acres OF land in Providence, which he
sold in 1903 to Romeo on the INSTALL
ment plan of payment. Romeo paid
installments amounting to $25S.75, and
on September, 1906. Williams gave a
deed OF the property to the nlaintiff,
who later learned that Williams did
not own the land for which he gave
the deed. The matter came IN Mon
day for a hearing on the DEFENDANTS

and to expunge. AS Williams fate is
not positively known no action was
taken.
