INTO RECEIVERS HANDS
Standard Company of Fremont
Finds it Impossible to
Pay the Farmers
CROP WAS A FAILURE
Omaha Neb May 8th The Stand
ard Beet Sugar Co of Fremont was this
morning placed in the hands of a recei
ver by Judge Munger in federal court
on request of the stockholders who found
it impossible to pay creditors largely
composed of farmers of Nebraska for
beets furnished thecompany last year
The plant is valued at Sl277000 The
company also owns 2000 acres of irrigat
ed laud in the Republican valley
The stockholders of the Standard in
clude KH Harriman of the Union Paci
fic D Ogden Mills President Fish of
the Illinois Central and a number of
other wealthy capitalists
W II Ferguson of Lincoln is named
his receiver and II G Leavitt formerly
president will continue in charge of tho
plant
Every creditor will be paid in full
says Leavitt The plant will continue
running and one normal year will pay
all debts The poor quality of last years
beets is responsible for the receivership
We only made 195 pounds of sugar per
ton while the normal is 270 pounds It
was better to go into the hands of a re
ceiver and have the plant continue run
ning than to close down and let the
plant deteriorate
The Triunne understandy that about
SS000 are due to the faimers in this
vicinity
We also learn that in all probability
Mr Ferguson will bo the man in charge
and not Mr Leavitt
