Lee, former publishers of the Morning Examiner, Ex-aminer, who failed last year, has filed his report with tho clerk of the Second District court. Ho says ho has" refused to allow tho claims of William Glasmann anS tho presont owners of the Examiner, amounting to over $5,000. It Is a well known fact that Messrs. Bowman and Leo pulled off a circulation contest and that several sev-eral thousand people paid their subscription sub-scription for the Morning Examiner in adance. When the receiver, Mr. James Plngrec, Pln-grec, refused to publish the paper any longer. Mr. Glasmann took chargo of tho Morning Examiner and he advertised at once if the people would assign their claims to him he would file tholr claims with tho receiver, re-ceiver, and over $5,000 worth of claims wero turned over to Mr Glasmann Glas-mann and the present ownors and now comes Mr. James Plngree and refuses to allow any of tho claims for subscriptions assigned to Mr Glasmann and the present owners of tho Examiner. Mr. Plngree, how-over, how-over, has allowed himself ?1 539.33 for a note he claims was due his banlt. He also allows himself $109 50 for services as assignee, and allows the attorneys $200 for services rendered, but tlio one thousand subscribers vho paid tholr money I advance for the paper are allowed nothing by Jame6 Pingree.

Mr. Pingree has allowed $3,527S4 in claims, almost one-half, to himself, and if tho subscribers who have as-signed as-signed their claims to Mr. Glasmann are to bo cheated out of tholr Just M -.m dues then tho assignee of Bowman ; ill and Lee will pay just about 60 cents ' ) on the dollar, but if too 55,000 duo ; t.n' subscribers will bo ordtorod paid by s m tho court, then the assignee will bo ; Wq able to pay about 20 to 25 cnts on ) W tho dollar. Mr Glasmann will havo ' L his attorney, Judge A. O. Horn, take fc-tho fc-tho matter up In court at onco and I R present the matter to tho judgo there- j of and make nn effort to securo for ) hvi the subscribers who paid In advance J an equal share in tho money col- llll lectcd.

Plngreo bocame assignee. , . The report further shows that tho i L firm of Bowman & "Leo should not f Eg have assigned at all. Tho . actual S amount of money collected "by the Jk assignee was more than enough to t EIr have pnld all claims outside, of Bub- o Sf Bcriptlons and advertisements paid jM In advance, .and the subscriptions and a advertising rfae wore claims that did not and could not have embarrassed ' ' ft MoBsrs Bowman and Leo, Besides ; Jl thoro was over 51.000 due for sub- ' scriptions in Ogden 'City which was i j-lost j-lost through the shortsighted moth- , ods adopted by tho assignee, first by allowing the paper to suspend publi- i vT cation and second by refusing to ol- (l f , low the new management to collect , ' tho subscriptions due In Ogdon City, v ?
