HEARING IN BANKRUPTCY
Creditors Fight Claims for Exemption
in Nuenche PrOceedinRH

The claims of the creditors in the vol
untary bankruptcy proceedings Of Charles
w. Wuench, were heard by Judge Wall
as referee. yesterday. Wuench was d
former storekeeper in Kingman county.
Recently he filed a petition in voluntary
bankruptcy and scheduled his debts at
$1,000 wit hassets amounting to about the
same sum. The latter being about a quar-
ter section of land and a residence. he
exempted under the homestead law. The
creditors contended that this property
should not be exempted under the law
since it was not the bonafide residence
Of the bankrupt Witnesses before judge
Wall yesterday testified that Wueneh had
no right to exempt the property as it was
not his homestead in the meaning Of the
law. Witnesses testified that he did not
live upon the farm, but in a house at
Adams, distance about three miles from
the site of his farm and that he only
went to the latter place about two or
three time sa week
Among the witnesses was P. n. Wright
a banker of Norwich.

London in the centuries before Shakes

liar figure. In more recent years he has
been Of service in both opera and the
spoken drama. In the latter he has al
most invariably been Gorthes concep-
ton. and as such he has Become a trIhe

can be made against the figure OF the
Devil created by the phenomenally popu-
lar English novelist, Marie Coreni. The

be presented for the first time in this
city on Wednesday. March 6, at the

and absorbing play may be imagined

pages:
