Ashley Mears.

Papers were served on E. Ashley
Mears, of the Phoenix Insurance COM
pany, to appear before Judge McCon--
nell on July 20 and show cause why
receiver should not be appointed to
wind up the affairs of that company and
prohibit it from doing business in the
state of North Dakota in future. Tho
principal Office of the Phoenix Insur-.
ance company was formerly located at
Minot, but it was removed to Fargo,
June &c, 1898. The deficiency in the as
sets of the company arose from the
failure of the Fargo and the Dakota
National banks, owned by Mr.. Mears.
The capital stock of the Phoenix Insur-
ance company was $500, 600. of which
300, 900 was paid in. A large amount
Of the stock of the two national banks,
or about $25, 900 of such stock, was held
as assets by the Phoenix Insurance
company, and by the failure of these
banks the assets became diminished by
the amount of the stock. The company
also had included as assets S25, 900 of
the stock of various state banks, owned
by Mears, which could not be legally
included in the list of assets.

Two important decisions were fled in.
the supreme court. The case Of Heges.
vs. DeGroat came up from Traill
county. DeGroat purchased farm in
that county at tax sale and IN time had
treasurer's tax deed issued to himself.
A few years after, Heger secured quit
claim deed from the original owner and
brought action to have DeGroat's title
declared null and void, and that he pay
Heger for the use and profits of the
land during the time DeGroat had been.
in possession. The trial court gave the.
plaintiff judgment for the possession OF
the land, for 50, PAS for the use and profits
and $500 as attorneys fees in securing
the judgment. The same is affirmed,
except the $500 item, which is ordered
to be stricken out.
Prairie School Township VS.. Haseleu
and others came up from La Moure
county, and is an action against the
former treasurer Of the township for
the proceeds of certain bonds issued
several years ago. The bonds were-
executed by the defendant, as treas
urer, and deposited in q bank in that
county for sale. The bonds were sold
by the bank, but before the proceeds
were turned over to the school treas
urer the bank failed and the money
derived from the bonds was lost to the
school township. The action was
against the treasurer's bondsmen to
compel them to make the sum good.
Judgment in the lower court in favor of
the bondsmen is affirmed.
