Decision Reserved

A hearing was held before Asso-
ciate Justice Leslie C. Cornish recent
ly at the court house upon the petit
ton of William L. Pashor of Pitts
field, receiver of the pittsfeld Trust
Co., asking that the court determine
and appraise the value of the re-
naming assets of the company
and order an assessment upon the
capital stock of the company for such
an amount as the court may deem
necessary for the payment of the
claims of the depositors The COM
pany has been in the hands of a re-
ceiver for the past two and one half
years a portion OF the securities has
been realized upon and payment of
70 per cent made to the depositors OF
the savings bank department but
none thus far TO the checking depart
ment
Mr. Pushor was represented by
Sanford l.. Fogg of the law firm of
Williamson. Burleigh q Mclean The
petition of the receiver which was
heard Monday represents that from
the assets which have been reduced
to cash there has been collected the
sum of $2S2,736.39, that there has
been paid by the receiver as neces-
sary expenses of the reccivership
sums amounting to S18,22S92 and to
preferred creditors $39,62742, to say
ngs depositors dividends amounting
in the aggregate to the sum of STA
1928. and that there now remains
in the hands of the receiver after
deductng said dividends, payments
and expenses the sum of SOC. 5S4S2
The petition further represents that
there remains due to savings depos-
itors, including interest on deposits at
6 per cent per annum to Feb |. 1916.
sums amounting in the aggregate To
S95,S73.34 and to check depositors
sums, including interest at the rate of
6 per cent to Feb. |, 1916, amounting
to $40 537.46. The petition also sets
forth that it is impossible to convert
into cash the remaining assets of the
trust company without great loss but
that it is apparent that the deficiency
of said assets will exceed loo per
cent of the entire capital stock of the
company.
The matter was throuehly dis
cussed at the hearing at which sew
eral stockholders of the Pittsfeld
Trust Co. were present, including A.
F. Bigelow of St. Adams. J. II. Win
chester of Corinna and Capt o. W.
Look of Jonesport. They made
some inquiry as to the condition of
the affairs of the company but vote
ed no opposition to the petition of the
receiver and were not represented by
counsel
No decision was rendered and Jus
tiee Cornish will go into the matter
further in detail before finally pass
ing upon the petition.

he fights because he likes
to. He's more frank about
1t than some of the boxers.
Speaking of boxing, have
you noticed the lamp of our
well known deputy prosecu-

says that a friend accidental
ly hit him during a friendly
souffle at the armory gym.
This quotation didn't come
from Jess Willard: One of
the beauties Of being a box
ing champion is. that you
can make a living without
working for it.
You'd kinda imagine from
reading the other sport
pages that somebody had a
