SUIT IN THE BANKRUPTCY CoURr.-Re- |
Gently there was entered in the Bankruptcy |
Court a suit in which Wilder, Sons & Go. are |
the compliments and Austin p. Brown defen- |
dant This case is brought to force defendant |
into bankruptcy the petitioners, being the hold
ers Of several notes given by defendant for lum |
Der. The answer OF Brown has been filed, in |
which he admits that he gave the notes, and |
when he gave them he had reason to believe |
that under certain contracts for paving he |
would realize from the sale of the lumber asuf- |
fcient amount to nay the same. That the con- |
tracts to the parties to whom he expected to |
sell the lumber were not given to the parties |
during the time he expected, and that before |
the notes became due the senior member of the |
firm came here and he explained To him his sit |
uation and ne agreed that the notes should be |
treated as renewed notes, and therefore the |
notes are not overdue. He further states that
the contracts with the parties to whom he ex-
poets to dispose of the greater part of the lum-
Der have been awarded and in a short time to
be able to pay the notes.
