ing His Stocks of Goods.
-----

       B. F. Foster closed the doors of his places of business Tuesday.
       He files a petition to the U. S. court asking that he be adjudged a bankrupt and asking that his stock be taken charge of and applied to the payment of the claims of his creditors.
       A list of creditors could not be obtained as the list was still in preparation at the hour of going to press.  It is estimated that the sum of about $12,000 is involved.
