Mitchell, g. D., July 25-At meeting

Rapid City, Deadwood and two in this
city, an assignment was made for the
benefit of the creditors of the company
I. j. Spangler,an attorney, Of this city,

ment was confirmed by the court.
The assignment of the company was
due to the fact that it was refused a
license at Rapid City to conduct a sa-
loon in connection with the Harney
hotel. The creditors of the company
at Rapid City commenced to demand
settlement, it being their contention
that the hotel would not pay without
bar in connection. When the credi.
tors declined to make any further ex
tensions on their debts and threatened
TO commence suit, the directors of the
company reached decision to make
an assignment.

ing the Nsvin and Widman hotels in

after his business interests, which are
centered in coffee plantation. The
