PARTNERS AT LoGGERHEADs.
Frank A. Upham filed suit in the
| district court yesterday against Frank
l. Warren and Susie Warren, his wife.
Some time ago Upham and Warren went
into the jewelry business on jackson
street. Warren agreeing when he ell
| tered the firm that the debts of the firm

| Upham. After doing business for
awhile, and running the firms OBJ
legations to Eastern merchants
up to nearly fifteen hundred dol
lars, it is alleged Warren in
duced Upham to divide the stock
on hand with him, agreeing to assume
half the liabilities and dissolve part
| nerShip. The two gentlemen, it seems,
| thinking they could do better alone than
| together, proceeded to divide the stock,
each taking his portion of the jeweiry,
according to division made by them
| selves. One morning, while they were
engaged in piling the jewelry in two
cases, deputy sheriff walked in and
levied on the whole outfit. Upham, who
could not account for this strange pro-
ceeding, after investigating the
matter, now alleges that he

| Judgment to his wife on two pretended
| notes for 5000, dated last December.
| The suit was successfully worked
| through the courts. and the wife, made
| defendant in this case, secured Judgment
| against her husband. While the divis-
| ion of the stock was being made and
| just as soon as Warren got his pile in
one showcase, acting, as it is alleged, in
collision with his wife and the attorney,
| they caused the sheriff to seize the
whole in order to defraud and cheat all
| the other creditors of the firm out of
their claims. The whole racket
was soon apparent to Mr.. Upham, who
feels that he was inveigled into the divis-
ion of the property for the carrying
out of the alleged fraudulent design of
Warren and his colleagues. The suit is
brought to restrain the sheriff from sell
ing or disposing of the property except
in way to be ordered by the court.
That Warren and his wife be debarred
from and all interest in the same until
after the creditors claims have all beer
satisfied, and that the pretended judg-
ment secured upon notes, which Upham
alleges were only given to Mrs. Warren
by her husband to operate the fraud,
should be satisfied with what funds be-
long to Warren after settling with the
creditors.
