The Folsom Case.

The creditors of the insolvent estate
OF H. E. Folsom had special meeting
at the probate Office Friday before Judge
W. P. Smith to consider proposed COM
promise of the matters appertaining to
the Folsom estate, the Merchants Ma
tional Bank and the Lyndonville Ma
tional Bank.
The controverted matters with the
Merchants National Bank related to the
sale of certain cattle shares in New Mex
leo, which the bank had purchased at
assherif's sale in New Mexico. The as
signee claims that the shares did belong
to the estate upon reimbursing the bank
tor money it had paid at the sheriff's
sale. The bank claimed that it purchased
the shares tor their own benefit and
owned them absolutely Since the pur-
chase large dividends have been declared,
amounting to over $4,000 and the
shares have increased IN market value
largely since purchase, on account OF the
higher price tor which cattle are selling.

is to pass over TO the assignee it's title to
the shares and one-halt the dividend,
after being reimbursed Tor its disburse-
bursemenls on the original purchase.
This compromise was unanimously ap-
proved by the creditors and was con-
frmed by the court. By it the hank gets
back it's money and about $1,000 more,
while the estate gets the shares and
about $1,000 in money.
The controversy with the Lyndonville
National bank was in relation to judg-
ment for $4,000 which the assignee had
procured at the last session of the su-
preme court of VERMONT. and which the
the bank proposedto further contest in
the supreme court of the United States.
BY the terms OF the proposed compro-
mise the assignee deducts $500 from the
amount of the judgment. the bank NV
