Receivers Named for St Louis and San Francisco Line
Receivers for the St Louis and San Francisco Railroad and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad were named in U S circuit courts in St Louis and Chicago. The action stems from the St Louis and San Francisco’s failure to meet short term notes of about 2 25 million dollars. Judge Sanborn appointed Thomas H West and B J Winchell as receivers in St Louis while Judge Carpenter named William Jackson and Edwin W Winter as receivers in Chicago for the Chicago and Eastern Illinois operation. The Chicago appointment is ancillary to the St Louis case to avert further complications.
