In the suit. Frederick Schulenberg, Of ST. LouiB,
=. Nelson Dunham, of No. 10 West Madison
street, Chicago, in the Circuit Court, petitioner
alleges that on the 18th of October, 1871, he
entered into partnership with Nelson Durham
and John 8. Garland, tocarry on a saloon in this
city, the partnership to continue for two years,
the petitioner to put in 81 800, Garland ST 900.
and Durham to give his whole time, the business
being carried on in the name Of Durham only.

hepartes, share and share alike, up to the 10th OF
April, 1872, and thereafter, until the expiration
of the two yeare, Durham to receive one-half OF
the profits, and the other two fourth each, On
the 1st August, 1872, Durham purchased Garlands
interest paying therefor, $4,000, when Garland
retired, since which time Calvin II. Bennett has
carried on the business in the name OF Dun
ham, the whole of which arrangement ia
concurrence Of the petitioner. It is further
stated that, Elthln ten days after the purchase
OF Garlands interest, Dunham left for the State
OF Arkansas, and that in consequence Of the
concern being transferred to the sole control of
covering the true state OF the % partnership M
business, and accounts, having confided wholly
IN the ability and integrity of said Dunham and
darland; also, that Bennett banks all moneys
1Mecelyed, Mx, n bis own name, in the Third
National Bank; that the total amount
received has, since the commencement amount
ed to not less than $4,000, and that there are
no liabilities; that Durham has received and
applied large sumo OF money to his own use
without entering them in the books; that all
petitioner has received out Of said partnership
was 81, 500; that Bennett refuses to surrender
the property, except to the order of Dunham.-
evidently acting honestly, in good faith, and by
the instructions OF Dunham, in 80 doing and
that said Dunhan is about to have the balance
