Deed of Trust Set Aside.

final decree was entered in the
United States circuit court at Little
Rock in the case of j. A. Woodson, re-
eeiver of the Southwestern Arkansas &
Indian Territory railway, and as
receiver of the Smithton Lumber COM
pany VS.. the Farmers Loan and Trust
company ct al.
Receiver Woodson filed bill asking
for the cancellation of deed of trust
in the sum of $500, 900 in favor of the
Farmers Loan and Trust company of
New York. Before the railway and
lumber companies went into the hands
of a receiver they executed their 200
joint bonds for the sum of 81 900 each,
and for the purpose of receiving pay
ment jointly executed a mortgage COW
erlng the entire property of each. In
the bill filed by Receiver Woodson it
was contended that it was beyond the
power of the two companies to execute
the mortgage or bonds for the purpose
named, since each thereby undertook
to bind itself for money advanced to
the other and to pledge its entire prop
erty as security. power which neither
one had under the general corporation
laws under which they were created
The decree of the court sets aside the
deed of trust and removes the lien or
encumbrance cast by said deed of trust
upon the property of the railway and
lumber companies

we could have shipping facilities now
we could make some money and recoup
losses of the past few years. We are
