MINOR CREDITORS
 OF EX-C0lLECT0R
 LEFT OUT IN COLD
Dismissal In Bankruptcy for Former Bedding Official
 Embarrassing.

l Bedding, Aug 31-The dismissal py
 Judge Banks of ex-Tax Collector Dun cans voluntary assignment 1n bahk- ruptcy apparently leaves his miner l creditors, whose claims aggregate 1 about s4OO, out in the cold. It IS too
 la te for them to levy attachments Ill 1 individual suits on his real estate'
 which was covered by the attachmeht
 of the National Surety Co. placed about a year ago, and their claims do
 not amount to a sufficient sum on
 which to base proceedings TOT lnVol-
 untary bankruptcy. There remains l still open to attachment two or three
 horses and some other personal prop
 erty of no great value, but none of tthe small creditors has yet made any
 move to recover by levying upon these
 effects and it is doubtful if it would
 pay them to do so. Of course they
 have the privilege of appealing from Judge Banks decision, but even suc- cess in such an appeal would bring
 them no ultimate advantage. The
 surety company will endeavor to se- cure an early trial of the suit they have brought to recover the $2,300 they paid the town to make good the for
 mer collectors shortage.

The last previous 1 inspection was mostly productive of orders for additional window space in the COW shelters. Although some of | the other alteration directions cause the recipients to wonder as to the why
 and wherefore they seldom seek ex- plantations. For instance one man who had the platform on which his cows stand while in stanchiops con-
 structed partly of concrete and partly of plank was told to concrete the en- | tire space Why concrete should be considered as more cleanly and less gerr, congenial than plank he failed to see. A neighbor was told that his
 cattle and dairy buildings were all
 right except. that they contained too
 much machinery. As the machinery
 consi sted mostly of an oil engine he also marvelled.
