is all one of encouragement to the De-

a merchant from Connecticut-evident
a conservative and intelligent business
man. After discussing business matters
generally We drifted into politics, and
asked him what he believed were the
prospects of the Democrats in the New

Judge Brooks yesterday handed down a
special administrator OF the estate of
James ]. Kelly. against John B. St Au-
bin. Max Nusser administrator of the es-
tate of John Nusser. and others. The CEN
trail figure of the case, which has been
tried several times. is w. F. Bickel, Of
the defunct Minnesota Savings Bank OF
st. Paul. The validity of several notes
and receipts given by Nusser to Bickel
were attacked. While the face Of this
paper showed loans amounting to $1,000
1t was contended that Nusser received
but $240O2, and this contention is up
held by the court. The defendants
claimed the notes were altered after they

were four claimants to the notes, which

of Kelly and the main issue was the
amount of money loaned Nusser by
Blckel
The plaintiff, the receiver of the bank,
and Hazel Bickel claimed that the face
value of the receipts was loaned to Nus

judgment creditors claimed that only
