Kansas City g. Northern r. r. Company that,
later on, he became the administrator OF the
estate CT Thomas G. Smith, deceased, and that,
his sureties On the occasion were Frank Chandler
and Blackstone. To secure these sureties, and
other creditors, for various reasons which en-
titled them to security, Mr. Chandler handed
these shares to Frank Chandler. On the 10th Of

some Of these shares, and the latter handed them
to 1Ir. Blackstone, who did what was necessary.
