missed.

It is probable that the suit brought
against William Martindale, vice presi-
dent of the defunct Cross bank at En-
poria, by Morton Albaugh, as receiver
of the bank, will never come to trial in
the United States district court. The suit
is for $3.50, 900, which it is alleged is due
the bank from Mr.. Martindale.
The parties interested in the suit have
agreed to arbitrate the matter out of
court, providing this arrangement meets
the approval of the comptroller of the
currency, who must pass upon it.
If it is submitted to arbitration Mr..
Martindale will name one arbiter, Mr..
Albaugh will select another, and the third
will be an attorney to be agreed upon by
United States District Attorney Lambert,
representing the plaintiff and Judge KEEL
lOgg. and Judge Graves the attorneys for
Mr.. Martindale.

land in and about Philadelphia. In 1740

It is claimed that to secure the es-
tate it is only necessary for the heirs
to prove their identity and descent 1t

aid in securing her share of the estate
