company more than the stock was
worth and that it could not be applied
to the payment of other claims I'll

contested in the courts on demurrers
and motions and finally reached the
stage when it was ready for trial. Then
the parties interested got together and
settled the whole matter. The Canton

and Guest each paid Douds something
on the judgment to stop the lawsuit
and Attorney Sterling for the plaintiff
went before Judge McCarty Tuesday
morning and had the controversy dis
missed. Each side is to pay half he
