ASKS ANCILLARY RECEIVER.

Petition Filed on Rensselaer Assets of Israel Koffman. Indianapolis, January 4.- —A petition asking the appointment of an ancillery receiver of the' Indiana assets of Israel Koffman, who has a stock of general merchandise, valued at $2,000 at Rensselaer, Ind., was filed with the United States clerk here Saturday. The petitioners, who are Smith-Wallace Shoe Co.; Frederick Desusauer, doing business as F. Dessauer & Co., and Cluett Peabody & Co., got the appointment of the Central Trust Company of Illinois, as receiver for Koffman’s store in Chicago. The receiver then sent a representative to Rensselaer to act as custodian of the store there. While the custodian was in charge of the store, according to tIQ petition for ancillary receiver, Frank E. Babcock and others brought an action in attachment against Koffman for claims. As a result, the petition says, the sheriff of Jasper county attached the store on a writ and Babcock and the others will, if permitted to do so, sell the store on an attachment sale and thereby obtain a preference of creditors.
