WM. WANTS ONE THOUSAND PLUNKS.

A. McCoy’s Son-In-Law Demands $66 Per Day for Fifteen Days He Was Assignee of Bank.

W. A. Rinehart has filed a claim for services as assignee of the A. McCoy & Co. bank, and demands SI,OOO for the fifteen days be was in charge of same. This is about $66 per day, a reasonable sum surely for a man of Mr, Rinehart’s rare business attainments, considering the fact that bis wife has also got in claims aggregating $21,000, which she alleges "her father owes her. Bill was formerly chairman of the republican county central committee here—a fact which our republican friends would like to forget, along with Tom and old Mack’s prominence in their party —and no doubt this has something to do with his modesty in filing so

small a claim for the valuable services to the (McCoys and himself) that he is believed to have performed. Even Bro. Marshall is now kicking Bill and the McCoys once in awhile, and we all know how he for years used to carry the names of the whole gang in double leaded long primer in the most prominent place in his paper. If trustee Chapman’s services are equally as valuable, by the time the court costs, attorneys’ fees, et cetera, are got in, it may be necessary to make an assessment on the creditors to pay out. Experience, however, is a mighty expensive teacher, yet there are many people that must have it.
