KOFFMAN STOCK TIED UP.

(Contlnuen rrom Page One)

undersigned had been appointed by the U. S. district court as receiver"' £pr Koffman, etc., and purpgrting to be signed for the bank by a Mr. Powell. He had no order of court whatever in his possesison to either take .charge of the goods or to ship them out of the tsate, but claimed that the bank had instructed him to ship them.

Now U? S. district court of Illinois has no jurisdiction in Indiana, except that it secure same through Judge Anderson of Indianapolis, and this it had not done, and it would appear that the whole thing was simply a bold attempt on the part of the receivers-—if the few facts thus far disclosed sufficient to so designate them—to seize this stock and ship it out of a state where the court appointing them had no jurisdiction. There are some other matters in connection with- this affair which may possibly be yet aired in court, that would cause one to infer that there is something very rotten about this deal. But, in any event, whether the printers get their money or not, Jasper county is sure to get the $00.60 taxes, for it is an old saying that there is no escaping death and taxes, and even a U. S. district court cannot defeat the county of its just dues.

It is reported that the alleged receivers will now go at the matter legally and proceed through Judge Anderson to have an auxilliary receiver—this is not quite the legal term for the office —appointed to take charge of the assets in this state.

Young Felker may succeed as a bulldozer for his alleged employers in some places, but he did not make it work in Rensselaer. If he is really an employe of the alleged receivers, and they have been appointed by the tederal court, The Democrat would suggest to Judge Landis that he investigate some of Felker’s acts while here. Sould he do so, that worthy might possibly be hunting another job or have one provided for him.
