An IMPORTANT RULING
Judge Shiras Decides . New
Point Under National Bank
rupt Law.
Money Paid to Bank Alter Debt
or's Insolvency Must be
Equally Divided.
Bank as Creditor Could Not Ap.
ply Deposits to Secure lis
Claims.
Special to Tlmes-Republican.


Cedar Rapids, Aug. GA decision by
Judge shiras in bankruptcy case, just
rendered, will attract a good deal of at
tentlon. 1t covers point that is not
known to have beeen brought before
any court since the national bankruptcy
law has been in force. The case was
that of Almon d. Kellar of Fort Dodge.
After his insolvency the bankrupt paid
into the bank sums Of money aggre-
eating $500 and these sums of money
We're applied by the bank to the dis
charge of SO much of Kellar's debt due
the bank as was created by certain
overdrafts. Judge Shras reverses the
ruling of the referee and holds that this
amount must be repaid to the trustee
before the claim of the bank as one Of
the creditors of Kellar can be allowed.
In summing up the case In his opinion.
Judge Shiras said:
The facts in the case now before the
court show that the bank is creditor
of the bankrupt and as such is seek
ing dividend from the estate; that
after the insolvency of the bankrupt the
latter paid into the bank sums of money
aggregating $500; that these sums were
applied by the bank to the payment in
full of SO much of the indebtedness due
the bank as was evidenced by the over
drafts. and it is certainly clear that If
the bank is allowed to prove up its claim
and receive dividend thereon without
repaying to the trustee the sums re-
celved after the insolvency of the bank
rupt, the bank will secure greater per-
centage of its debt than will the other
creditors and it is this result which the
supreme court holds is absolutely for
hidden by the provisions of the bank
| rupt act, regardless of the means or
manner by which the preferences have
been brought about.
| Under. this ruling of the supreme
court, 1 can see no escape from the con.
clusion that the payments by way of de-
posts received by the bank after THE
date of the insolvency Of Kellar anc
applied in discharge of so much Of thu
| debt due the bank as was created b.
\ the overdrafts, must be held to be pre-
ferential payments of such nature tina
/ the bank cannot be allowed to share il
the estate unless it repays to the truste,
the payments thus made it.
THE ruling of the referee must there
fore be reversed, with instructions t
enter an order to the effect that un
4 less the bank accounts the trustee, with
. in some reasonable time to be fixed i
the order, for the payments applied i
discharge of the overdrafts and receive
by the bank since the date of the in
solvency of Almon d. Kellar, then tn
allowance of the claim of the bank shal
be set aside as paved for. and it i
4 further ordered that the taxable cost
of this proceeding are adjudged agains
4 the bank.

SMALLPoX is said TO be prevalent

disease is more widely spread in
the United States than ever known.
The Legislature has promised the
State Board of Health the meaps
with which to stamp out the disease
and it is to be hoped that every
possible effort will be put forth to
that end. The disease has not made
its appearance in our county but
no one knows how soon it may.
Those who leave home on business
or for any purpose, especially II
they go among strangers or into
any of the places where the disease
is prevalent, should, after returning
be very careful to isolate themselves

disease and keep themselves so till
