ATKINSON ASSETS WILL
NOT MEET HIS DEBTS
Receiver Waiter NJ. Davis Says Inves-
tigation SO Far Shows About
$4,000 in Good Assets.
INJUNCTION HEARING SOON
Arguments on Why Deeds of Trust
Held Up by Injunction Should
be Paid to Be in st. Louis.

The mystery of w. F. Atkinson's
sudden disappearance from this city
almost two months ago remains un-
solved. The report that his departure
might be due to some infraction Of
the law in some Of his business deals
seems to be without foundation.
Walter Davis, of st. Louis, receiver
for William F. Atkinson, stated We'd
nesday morning that he knew of no
notes or deeds of trust given by Mr..
Atkinson, for which there was no Sc
curity.
"T understand" said Mr.. Davis,
chat Mr.. Atkinson held equity in
several pieces of property which are
in other persons names"
Mr.. Davis also stated that he had
yet to find any evidence of criminal
action on the part of Mr.. Atkinson.
The deeds of trust which have been
held up by the injunction issued re-
Gently by the United States District
Court in st. Louis, will be heard there
January Is, when the holders of the
deeds may give cause why the injunc-
tion should not be enforced.
Mr.. Atkinson owned all the shares
in the Mexico Land & Investment Co.,
which owned one piece of property,
the Haas-Lieber warehouse, which
was to have been sold, but the sale un-
der the deed of trust was enjoined.
Mr.. Davis says he understands
that Horace Mundy holds about $500
for sale of hogs and that the money
has been attached by the Merchants
Laclede Bank of st. Louis. He says
he will try to get it.
Mr.. Atkinson owns five shares in
the Mexico Fair Association and five
shares in the Missouri Military
Academy, which Mr.. Davis has been
told were given to the First National
Bank here to secure about S1,100.
Mr.. Davis says he now has on hand
about $4,000 in cash and good assets.
The stock in the hardware store and
the office fixtures were appraised at
a little more than three thousand dol
lars. The office fixtures belong to
Mr.. Atkinson, but there are several
claimants for the rest Of the stock.
The value of these assets depends on
who holds the title to the stock and
how much Of it belonged to Mr.. At
kinson and how much to others.
Mr.. Davis says as near as he is able
to find out, the assets will not be suf-
ficient to pay the debts.

Mundy Tons Market Again.

Horace Mundy, one of Audrain's
biggest stock shippers, lately has been
topping the hog market right along
and on Tuesday, January 9th, sold a
load of hogs in st. Louis at $1,000.
Hogs are proving most profitable in
vestment this year, and we congratu-
late the farmers on the handsome pric-
es they are receiving.
