LOCAL CLUB PAID $500 TO
CREDITORS LAST NIGHT
Names Were Drawn by Lot - Reports Heard From
Shows at Minneapolis and Chicago Amendment Of
fered to Make Dues P .y.ble Six Months in Advance
Banquet Being Arranged.

Five hundred dollars in amounts
OF fifty dollars each were paid last
nighf at the Commercial Club meet
ing to ten of the clubs creditors.
Under the direction of Treasurer
Gum, the names of sixty-seven cred
itors were written on separate slips,
were placed in hat and w. H. Dib-
bic and Louis Croliard, acting as
tellcrs. drew out ten of these slips.
which bore the following names Of
the lucky parties who were paid fiji
t. dollars each:
The Tibbets estate. Central Pro-
duce company, George II. Fisher, the
Republic, c. NJ. Denniston, P. P. Hol-
comb, Rufus Woods Emil Frank,
j. E. Eihelberner, and the Valhalla
Orchard company.
During the progress OF drawing by
lot, It was suggested that the method
w2s more or less unfair in that some
OF the creditors held notes of only fiji
ty dollars while others had as much
as five hundred dollars against the
club. 1t was therefore announced
that hereafter the notes will be made
out in the form of negotiable fifty
dollar coupons Anybody may hold
these coupons and go to the bank
when interest is due and draw out
their usury. When the principal is
about to be paid by lot, numbers of
coupons will be placed in the hat and
the result is that the creditor hold
ing only one fifty-dollar coupon will
only have one chance, while the
holder of five hundred dollars worth
of cupon notes will have ten chances.

him that we had the best display on
