RECEIVERS TO HOLD
WINCHESTER FAIR
Event Scheduled as Part of
Plan to Liquidate Shenan-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WINCHESTER, Va, August 90
Receivers were appointed today for the
Shenandoah Valley Agricultural So
ciety, one of the oldest county fair or
CARNATIONS in Virginia on the petition
of Julian w Baker and other stock
holders. Judge Philip Williams in Cor
poration Court appointed James P.
Reardon and Burr P. Harrison as re-
ceivers. They posted $4,000 bond.
Restraining Order Denied.
The court directed them to conduct
the Winchester Fair September to
II, receive the entire income, pay need
ed expenses and report to the court.
Direction Of the fair was taken out OF
the hands of Boyd r. Richards, presi-
dent, and other officers by the court
order The stockholders also asked for
restraining order, claiming that hold
ing a fair this year would tend TO in
crease the already heavy indebtedness
of the society. They said most of last
years premiums had not been paid,
along with numerous other expenses.
The court, however, declined to issue
the restraining order and directed the
receivers to hold the fair.
One of their first acts was to cam
eel a tentative contract for exhibitions
by Troop e, Sd Cavalry Fort Myer.
Affairs Of the society have been in the
hands of the court for some months,
with the ultimate object Of disposing of
the assets in order to pay of debts and
go into liquidation. The assets include
% acres of land regarded as highly
valuable, all within city limits.
1t was at first planned to hold no fair
this year, due to general depression and
complicated litigation, but a truce was
effected between conflicting interests
whereby a receiyership was agreed
upon.

Crabbe saved the lives Of six of his

tically destroyed their home here to-
