Judge Caldwell was at the court
house at one o'clock this afternoon,
prepared to hear objections to the con-
irmation of the sale of the items Of real
estate and personal property of R. D..
Hubbard, insolvent, which We're dis
posed of at public sale ten days ago
No objections were made by anyone.
Assignee Palmer presented report,
asking that nearly all of the items of
sale be confirmed. Those excepted
were note given by Susan A. Richard
son for $143.66, due April 1, 1885,, 6,4O0

Neb., for S23. 80; note of Eva Walker,

T. Petit, Sioux City, for $164.1S; and a
judgment against J. f. Marriott,
Wakefield, Neb., for $1,O59.54 Mr..
Palmer states that he can obtain more
for these items than was bid on them.
In reply to question by the court,
Mr.. Palmer stated that the total
amount realized from the sale, aside
from the articles excepted, would be
1874, 100
Mr.. Palmer was sworn and stated to
the court that he knew the property and
had examined it. He considered that
there was great doubt about the value
of the four notes of the Highland I'm.
provement Co., of Duluth, for which
the First National Bank of Mankato
had bid 20 per cent of their face value,
exclusive of interest. He thought it
better to accept this bid than to under
take to collect the notes, which he did
not think could be done.
This concluded the hearing, and the
court said that he would sign an orde I
confirming the sale, as desired by the
assignee The order was then pre-
pared.
