and right ankle. Notwithstanding these
injuries Mr.. McCullaugh lived from 10

A statement was made last week in
the Citizen that all the creditors of F.
e. Worley's bank had been paid in full.
This Is not the case. Many of the
creditors have taken property, but
several thousand dollars yet remain to
be settled, either by creditors taking
property or a sale Of what is left and a
division OF the receipts pro rata. It Is
thought that In many cases the property
was appraised too high. The home farm
was set off to Mrs. Worley at 1900 and
the Summit farm. at the northwest side
of town, and was given her at about
$1,S00.-Ellettsville Citizen.
