from seventeen of its country CORE
spondents. This was a most excel

scented that we would have been glad

E. M. Bare and p T. Sweet, who re-
Gently purchased half the stock of the
Eureka Springs Street Car and Elec-
tric Co., asked for receiver for the
company, claiming that Hugo Seidell,
owner of the remainder of the stock
and who is managing the business,
would not permit them to have any
hand in the management. Seidell
claimed that the movement was for
the purpose of endeavoring to squeeze
him out, and the fact that he had $751;
900 invested in the enterprise, while
the other parties had paid only $4,000
for their interest, should entitle him
to manage the business. Chancellor
McMahan at Harrison last week deni,
ed the petition for receiver, and the
matter will come before the regular
term of court at Eureka Springs il
January.
