ated in the real estate buBiness with
Thomas II. Mastin. John j. Msstin's
intsreat in the firm, which was valued
at SO, 800 900, was willed to his widow,
Thomas Fl. continuing to manage the
business. The widow sets forth that
the mortgages on the estate now amount
to 81, O0O, 900, or twice as much as when
her husband died. Shs says Thomas
H. Mastin has mismanaged and is mis-
managing the business OF said firm in
many respects, but especially as fol-
lows:
He has drawn from the funds of the
partnership large sumo of money to pay
for life insurance policies, exclusively
for the benefit OF his own family.
He has engaged on his own account
in the raising of fancy breeds OF live
stock, in which he has invested the
money OF tie firm at great loss.
He has lived extravagsntly and has
drawn from the funds of the firm largely
in excess of the amount to which he
was entitled as half owner in said firm.
He has largely used unincnmbered

called equities in other real estate, whom
the firm possessed no means to protect

to Judge Phillips for approval.
John ]. and Thomas H. Mastin were
the active managers of the Mastin bank
which failed In 1878 with deposits
amounting to about 81 600. 900. The
failure was due to unwise investments
in mines and extensive advances to the
National Water Works company. The
