6oNDHoLDERS.
BELIEVED NORTHWESTERN
WILL PURCHASE ROAD
Creditors Asked to File Claims and
Court Probably Will Settle Fate Of
Line Running From Webster City to
Lehieh-Other Roads Chief Creditors
Company Badly Involved.

Fort Dodge. Nov. l0.-An order for
the foreclosure sale of the Crooked
Creek Railroad and Coal Company was
asked for yesterday in federal court.
The First Trust Company of Milwau-
kee is appearing for the bondhodeIs
who hold s116, 900 in bonds of the COM
pany. The road is sixteen miles in
length and runs between Lehigh and
Webster City. Aside from the road it.
self, the company has little assets.
Sam Mcclure, temporary receiver for
the road, was in court. He declared
that he found the road had $50 only
when he took the receivership and that
he had increased the bank balance to
nearly $4,000.
An order to creditors to file claims
has been asked for. In addition 10 the
bonkholders, about 80 other creditors
Of the road have been found with
claims totaling between $4,000 and
$4,000. Among the railroads that are
intervening creditors for interline
mileage are the Chicago Great West
ern, the Fort Dodge, Des Moines &
Southern, the Chicago & Northwestern
and the Illinois Central. The last
named line found on examination Of
Crooked Creek railroad books last
summer that the little road was owing
the big line about $4,000 for cars used.
1t has been decided that the claims
that will be considered must include
only those for labor and material fur
nished six months prior to the estab-
lishment of the receivership last July.
People in Webster City where the
general offices are maintained, look for
the Chicago & Northwestern TO be the
ultimate purchaser of the line. Taxes
on the Crooked Creek road in Hamil-
ton and Webster counties amount 10
about $500.

The Grip.

Grip is something of joke to those
who have never had it. but when they
get it they become dead to all sense of
humor. No disease was ever more ap-
propriately named because grip takes
hold of the entire system. To get rid
of it take Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and carefully observe the direc-
tons with each bottle. This remedy
is highly recommended by those VITO
have used it and know it's real value.
