ASSETS WERE TOO LIVELY
Receiver for a Bankrupt "Pet" Shop
Asks to Be Relieved Of Very
lrksome Task.

Pittsburgh.-Receiver A. B. Fell, ap-
pointed to take charge Of the bankrupt
estate OF Irwin F. Myers Of McKees-
port, consisting of pet" shop, has
complained to Deputy Albert Cook of
the United States district court that
the assets are altogether too lively
and familiar to meet with his approx
al. Receiver Fell has asked to be re-
lieved Of his charge, but he was told
there was no chance.
When the receiver entered the store
one of the assets, a dog, made wild
rush at him. Fell tried to back away.
but the dog was too quick. Then four
assets, encouraged by the success Of
the first one, surrounded him.
Just as the receiver had recovered
from the fright caused by the dogs he
felt a sensation on one Of his legs. He
clapped his hand to his trousers leg
and captured rat. As he looked down
he found a number Of other assets"
evidently awaiting a chance to get
one of the two trousers apartments.
Backing around a dimly lighted
room. he discovered another asset"
a 'possum. This was enough! He
beat a hasty retreat from the place
and called up Clerk Cook in the United
States court. The answer was cold
and clothed In the austerity Of the
court. He was told he must stay un-
til the court had disposed Of the pc
tition in bankruptcy, for he had fur
nished a bond Of $500 for the faith
full performance of his duty.
