ASKS FOR RECEIVER FOR SCREES COMPANY

William P. Wink, a Stockholder, Says Company is Insolvent and Cites Reasons for Receiver.

William P. Wink, of Anderson, who owns $2,000 stock in the American Roller Screen & Stamping Co., of this city, has filed a petition in Circuit Court for the appointment of a receiver for the company.

He sets out in the petition that in April, 1911, a written contract was entered into betwreen the company and the Commercial Club of Greenfield, under the terms of which the factory was to be located in Greenfield, and that it was to be operated with a capacity of 2,000 screens per day, and that the Commercial Club was to sell $12,000 worth of the capital slock to be paid in four payments, the first to be paid when tne machinery arrived, the second when the machinery was installed, the third 90 days after the machinery was installed, and the fourth 90 days after the third payment.

It is further alleged that there have been and are difficulties between the management of the company and the Commercial Club, and that only $2,700 of the $12,000 has been paid, the club refusing to pay more and the subscribers also refusing to pay the balance. The complaint sets out that the company has no money, the assets being machinery and a patent on a roller screen. Also that 3xpenses of the company and salary of officers, some of which it alleges are excessive, have been paid without authority from the board of directors. That only $1.33 in cash now remains in the bank to the credit Of the company. That the difficulties between the company and the Commercial Club cannot be settled amicably and that the company is indebted to individuals and corporations lo Ihe amount of $1,800, and that some of Ihese creditors are threatening to bring suit. That there is danger of the company becoming insolvent and that it indeed is insolvent,, as it will take $0,000 to pay the debts of the company and put the plant in condition to be operated and will take $12,000 additional for working capital to operate the plant at half, its capacity.

The plaint ill* furl her alleges that certain stockholders are seeking to have a receiver appointed by the Slate of Illinois, or bankruptcy proceedings instituted in the United States Court of the State of Illinois for the purpose of taking the properly and assets of the company and the jurisdiction out of the state of Indiana, and that it would be an irreparable loss to the stockholders to have the jurisdiction in the proceedings removed from Indiana.

The petitioner prays immediate action by the court in order to protect the interests of the stockholders. It is furl,lit# alleged in the complaint that the company has not complied with the laws of Indiana, relating to foreign corporations, by filing a certified copy of its articles of incorporation with the secretary of state and paying the legal fee required by statute. That there are two of the three directors and president of the company are now residing in the city of Greenfield and that one creditor has removed valuable machinery from the plant of the company on his claim, and that there is danger of great, and irreparable loss to this plaintiff and other stockholders unless action is taken at once and a receiver appointed to take charge of the property of the company.

TAKES ANTITOXIN AND DIES.

Creensburg Child Believed to Be Victim of Asthmatic Complications.

Greensburg, Tnd. Nellie, the 9 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Woodfill, died fifteen minutes after receiving an injection of antitoxin as a preventive against diphtheria. The house had been quarantined because some of the children had germs, but the quarantine had just been lifted, and in order to be perfectly safe, the parents called a physician to give each of the children antitoxin. Nellie had been a sufferer from asthma at various times, and it is believed this caused complications after the injection of the antitoxin.

One city woman is so soft hearted she warmed the water the other day in which to drown a kitten. Her husband is so afraid of her he will stay down town and eat a dairy lunch before he would go home to supper late.

IKE WIDOW MsCARTY

Carries a Band and Orchestra of Real .Musicians—Will Give Concert Here.

B. C. Craner's "Widow McCarty" is easily classed among the few7 attractions that have earned good money the past season, when so many attractions have not prospered. The piece possesses the attributes that go to make up an entertainment popular writh all classes of patrons.

The "Widow" is bright, snappy, fast and piquant and the music is the kind that makes the public appreciate and sit up and take notice. It contains enough musical numbers for two such entertainments.

Ben Cramer has added immensely to his reputation as a popular writer and has woven a fabric of fun and melody of sufficient strength to produce uninterruptedly good business all over the country. "The Widow McCarty has more than any other attraction of a similar character the fun diversified. There is the drollery of Russel Craner, in his many-sided character of O'HooIigan, the Irish alderman, the irresistible flirtation of Mayme McPharlan, as the dashing widow, and Frank Christie as the honest Irishman.

The closing act is laid in the sands of Coney Island, the most famous of all summer resorts. The spectacle of the bathing girls, the well known board walk and the bath house on the beach does one almost as much good as a real visit to this lively resort in the good old summer time. Then to all this refreshing scene of seaside atmosphere and color are added the clever songs and the up-to-date dialogue and all of a character and tone to make one forget toil and trouble. B. F. Craner is to present his famous "Widow McCarty" at the opera house here on Friday evening, November 3d. This company carries a band and orchestra and will give a concert at noon and evening here on Friday.

Company Ready to Pay. Readers of The Reporter have no doubt noticed an item in its columns lo the effect that suit was brought against the Fidelity Mutual Life, on a claim by Mrs.-Lu-ella Wickard. Suffice it that technically speaking, this may be correct, but in order to correct any erroneous impressions among this company's almost 1,000 patrons and prospects as well. I wish to state that the company has been for several weeks ready and anxious to pay this claim, but the agent and the company were each served with notices by Mrs. Catherine Winn and her attorneys not to pay the money to Mrs. Wickard, as Mrs. Winn claimed right to the same as the widow of the deceased. So, when the case is decided, the money will be paid to the successful contestant, by the court in w7hose hands it is placed. The reputation of the Fidelity for prompt payment is untarnished, and this statement is made to counteract any false impression that may obtain by the statement of the bare case as published. J. M. Hufford, Agency, Fidelity Mutual Life.

Coughing at Night

Means loss of sleep, which is bad for everyone. Foley's Honey and Tar Compound stops the cough at once, relieves the tickling and dryness in the throat and heals the inflamed membranes. Prevents a cold developing into bronchitis or pneumonia. Keep always in the house. Refuse substitutes. M. C. Quigley.
