IMPORTANT DECISION. = One of the
most important cases before the present
term of the circuit court, Was the case of
Mrs Friendly against fhe creditors of the
estate of Max Friendly. Mrs Friendly's
complaint alledged that cattle that belong
ed 10 her had been disposed OF during the
period from 1889 to 1892 by Max Friendly,
and that the proceeds from the sale oksnch
cattle was part of the assets OF the estate
of Max Friendly, and asked that her claim
be placed on an equal footing with other
claims against the property. The assignee
as well as the creditors fought the case.
The trial was by jury and the verdict gave
Mrs Friendly claim against the estate in
the amount of 81 SIS, which claim becomes
bonefide indebtedne of the estate and
subject TO tie same rights as ether claims.
