Judges Baxter and Searle have filed
an order in the district court in the
case of Lucas Kells as assignee vs..
Chas. J. Long. The verdict favors the
plaintiff. Kells is assignee of Andrew
]. Smith, the insolvent Sank Center
banker. Smith assigned Jan. "a, 1898,
knowing, it is claimed, that he was
inso.vent long prior to that date. He
transferred to Long certain property
in Sank Center for $4,000: of this sum
$4,000 was used to pay Smiths indebt-
edness to Long, and the balance was
paid in three notes of $1,000 each
These notes were negotiated by Smith
in the ordinary course of business.
Kells, as assignee of Smith, sued to
set aside this transfer. The court
holds the valne of the property to be
S., 900 and declares the transfer null
and void. Assignee Kells is adjudged
to be the owner of the property, which
is occupied by Jacob Bros & Mack.
