“ROYAL PLAYERS” IN BAD

Sheriff Woodworth Has Their Outfit Attached for Debt. The Royal Players company, which opened their season here recently with a tent* show and played last week at Remington, are temporarilb at least out of business. A Chicago costumers company had Sheriff Woodworth attach their property while they were playing here, but the management begged for a little respite and said they would be able to liquidate from their receipts at Remington. Friday evening the sheriff went over to Remington,, but their ship had njji yet come in, put him off again until Saturday night. He went over again Saturday night, and they were still udable to come across and the indications were that the manager had his plans laid for pulling out with their Buick car and the bulk of the receipts before Ihe other members of the company could get hold of any part thereof or get wind of his plans. So Mr. Woodworth brought the car back to Rensselaer with him. Sunday the baggage of the company was brought over and Monday their tent also, which had likewise been attached. At this writing it is still in the sheriff’s possession. The claim of the Chicago company is some $360 and they also owe Sam Fendlg and Archie Lee here, the former about SSO, it is understood. The company was billed to play at Brook this week but they were unable to open their engagement there Monday nignt as a cowsequence of the attachment of their outfit. The following claims have been filed against the company, not including the |360 Chicago claims. Hill & Crooks, $41.50. Willette Hill, s9l. French Crooks, s9l. Charles Gosnell,
