COURT.

Judge Slough held court IN Lo-
gan on Monday, and rendered a de-
cision in the Sowders-People's Bank
case. When, after the bank had
made an assignment, and the assign
ment had been raised, a number OF
creditors refused to sign release of
their claims. To satisfy these cred
itors an indemnity bond in the sum
of $40, 100000 was given, conditional
that if the bank did not pay the cred
itors within specified time, the bond
would pay the claims.
Mr.. Sowders, one of the creditors
of the bank, sued on this bond, and
the court held that the bond is re-
sponsible.
Judge Slough is in i'll health, suf-
fering from an attack of "Dum
Ague," a kind of foster brother of
the stupid grip, and by mutual con-
sent, of all parties interested, num-
ber of cases set down for hearing this
term, were continued until in April.
