THE TWICE-A-WBEK DEMOCRAT

meat soon became apparent, and the house was closed. Then William F. Brucker, a Monticello elevator man, was engaged to become trustee and assignee of the concern, and the place re-opened under his management this week. Papers were filed in the recorder's and clerk’s offices Monday whereby the comipany, by Ed Detamore and Dr. W. C. Richardson, as president and secretary, transferred all of the property to the trustee. Its value is placed at $25,000. Book accounts totaling $7,700.66 are also scheduled, making the total assets about $32,000. The liabilities are not given in the court papers, but they are said to be far below the assets. The great trouble, it seems, is that the company has not been making any money, and all of the working capital has been tied up in the business. The cause is a disputed question, said by some to be on account of the elevator’s policy of paying extra high prices for grain. A stockholders’ meeting Is to be held Saturday of this week when, it is declared,, the matter will be pretty well straightened out. One of the officers stated Tuesday that the concern Is perfectly solvent, and that a little time and some new working capital will iput it on its feet again. There are not specific charges of crookedness against Manager Maxwell, although there have been rumors to the contrary. He visited his father near Lafayette during the invoice, but is now back on the job as an assistant to the trustee. That he has been thoroughly trusted is evidenced by the fact that he has not been under bond, nor have the accounts been audited regularly. Wrong guesses as to what the market would do next appear to be near the bottom of most of the trouble. —Pulaski County Democrat.
