COMMON PLEAS COURT

COMMON PLEAS COURT
Operative Receiver Appointed
In friendly suit by L. H. Sears
VS.. M. M. Sears, the former has
been appointed by the court as op.
erative receiver for the Sears drug
store at this place. Several years
ago M. NJ. Sears purchased the drug
store from L. n. Sears, and in the
deal there were certain financial
requirements to be met in the mat
ter of payments, and the matter of
asking for an operative receiver
was deemed the best way in which
l.. H. Sears would again come into
possession of the store. The re-
ceiver L. H. Sears will continue to
operate the drug store, and M. M.
Sears is appointed as assistant.
