show assets of Sc, 22O.S4, and liabilities
of S6,697.1S The Commercial bank and
u. Laliberte, i'll sums of $1,000 each,
are the only heavy creditors.
The complication of affairs in the
receverShip of the Northwestern
Guaranty Loan company was cUntin
ued with the understanding that the
case might come up at any time on
twenty -four hours notice to all parties.
John A. Williams, who was Indicted
by the last grand jury accused of OBJ
tanning money through threats to pros
ecute, is now free man. He appeared
before Judge Smith yesterday morning
with his attorney to argue a demurrer
to the Indictment, and the court sus-
tanned the IDEA that the indictment was
not good and dismissed the action.
Christian ii. Thorpe has begun suit
against the city OF Minneapolis to re-
cover Sl,052 damages. He claims that
as a consequence of the floods from
Bassetts creek out Western avenue
June 20, of last year, his house was
wrecked. The claim is that the city
constructed canal which was inSuffl-
cient to carry of the water. A. E.
krOogSad claims $3.50 for the same rea-
son in another complaint.
The attorney general has served no.
tlce of all order to show cause why the
receiver Of the State bank should not
pay the state The money in his hands as
a preferred creditor. The attorneys for
the other creditors are preparing for
battle, and the case will come up for
arguments IN the distriet court next

against the St. Paul Il Minneapolis
Trust company. as receiver of the Farm
ers' and Merchants State bank, came
up before Judge Smith on an order to
show cause whya cpItain deposit should
not be turned over to the petitioners be-
cause Of alleged misrepresentation
The court was of the opinion that the
attorneys were going at Tie matter in
entirely The wrong way, as bringing a
separate suit of that nature would be
very expensive proceeding. He there
IOre dismissed the order to show cause,
and the attorneys FOR both sides came
together and effected an amicable ar
Tangement whereby evidence might be
taken under the assignment without so
much additional expense.

City Assessor Plummer has completed
his report showing the work OF the
board of equalization.
The work was omparatively light,
for out of $4,000 assessments made this
year the board made only 100 changes,
and only One-half of them were on ac-
count of applications for corrections
from the taxpayers.
Complaints were unusually few in
number, and the reason for it. as as
signed by Mr.. Plummer. is that after
each assessment had been made,
whether it had been arbitrarily made by
the assessor or based on the returns of
the taxpayers, every one was notified
by the assessor of what had been done.
