Guffey Fails For $7,OoO,ooo.

Colonel James NJ. Guffey, muiti-mil,
lionaire oil man, and Democratic lead
er, has failed. His business affairs
have been put into the hands of a re.
ceiver.
This announcement was made in
Pittsburg. The exact nature of the
failure is not yet known, and no def
mite figures have been given out. 1t is
announced, however, that Colonel Guf
feys liabilities are less than 100,
900, and that his assets are easily
worth sl7,OOO,000.
Inability to realize on his assets,
which consist largely of coal lands in
West Virginia. is said to be the rea-
son for Colonel Guffey's embarrass
ment John NJ. Galley, one of Mr.
Guffey's creditors, and a former bust
ness partner. went into common pleas
court, No. A. and asked for a receiver
for the oil and coal king.
John s. Willard of Pittsburg. was
appointed receiver and was placed un-
der 100000 bond.
Colonel Guffey issued statement
expressing regret that it had become
necessary that his affairs be placed in
the hands of a receiver but that 1t
would afford protection to himself as
we'll as to all of his creditors.
my assets are more than double
The amount " my obligations, and
do not expect the receivership to con,
tinue for any great length of time,
said Mr.. Guffey.
The receivership bill filed alleges
that Colonel Guffey has not the ready
money with which to meet the claims
of some creditors who have threatened
20 sell his collateral. These creditors
are understood to be banks in Pitts
Pennsylvania.
