PAID LAST OF LOCAL MATCH CO. CLAMS

Attorney For U. S. Match Co. Left Checks for Enough to Pay Last Indebtedness Here. E. B. Zigler, of Elkhart, attorney for W. W. Sterling and the United States Match Co., was in Rensselaer Thursday morning and paid the last of the claims of local creditors. Attorney G. A. Williams had the claims of J. C. Gwin & Co. and the Rensselaer Lumber Co., amounting to between SSOO and S6OO. Mr. Zigler left checks to cover these claims. Attorney J. A. Dunlap has a claim of the Central Rubber & Supply Co., of Indianapolis, amounting to about $670. It is on this claim that the factory buildings are ordered sold at public auction, the sale to take place next Thursday, Feb. 27th. Mr. Zigler saw Attorney Dunlap and tried to arrange for a postponement of the sale with a promise of a later settlement and Mr. Dunlap called up the Indianapolis office of the creditors but they refused to be longer put off and if the claim is not settled beforehand the buildings will be sold next Thursday. The sale does not include the land but the improvements only. The company has been whittling away on the’ claims for some time and it is very pleasing for the two lumber companies'to have received their pay in full. At one time these two claims aggregated in excess of $3,000.
