SUIT AGAINST J.. N. CASSIDY JR
Two Actions Are Drought, One By
Freeport Bank, other by In
surahce Company.

James N. Casady, jr., Of this city, who
is said to be in Chicago, has been made
defendant In two actions in the district
court. The German Bank Of Freeport, ILL.,,
seeks to recover $2,455. and the Scottish
Union & National Insurance company wants
him to turn over collections amounting to
$685. 8. In the latter suit, Mrs. Ellen M.
Casady, his mother, is made party defend
ant, being on his bond. Alleging that Cas-
ady has absconded with intent to defraud
his creditors, the insurance company has
attached stock to the amount Of $500 held
by Casady In the Grand Hotel company Of
this city.
The German Bank Of Freeport alleges
that In September, 1900, 1t sent Casady
5000 to place as a loan on property OF
John Damitz. Subsequently Cassidy notined
the bank that he could not place the loan
and stated he would return the money. The
bank waited patiently, 1t ~recites. for It's
money, which never came. In January, 1901,
the bank drew a draft for the amount on
Casady, which he accepted, but up to this
date he has only paid. it is alleged, $500 on
the draft and the bank sues to recover the
balance with interest which amounts to
SASS.
The Scottish Union & National Insurance
company, for which Cassidy had acted as
local agent for several years., alleges that
he has failed to turn over collections be-
longing to the company amounting to the
sum sued for.

LONG LITIGATION IS ENDED
Lawsuits Lasting Eight Years Terminate in
Agreement at Last.
WILLIAM sIEDENToPF ESTATE INVOLVED
In Consideration OF settlement, AppIi-
cation of Son and Daughter for
DistributIve share IL
DIsalIOwed.

The litigation over the administration Of
the estate Of william Siedentopf, deceased,
which has been pending in one form and
another In the district court for the last
eight years, was brought to a termination
yesterday, when Judge Wheeler approved
a stipulation for settlement, the terms Of
which, it is understood, have been COM
piled with by William F. Sledentopf, the
son and former administrator until J. II.
MCGEE was appointed In his place.
A few months ago the court in the suit
brought by Administrator MCGEE against
William F. Siedentopf decreed that the lat
ter was indebted to the estate in the sum
OF 81. 900. but this decree was subsequently
modified. Under the stipulation Of settle
ment reached yesterday Siendentopf was re-
quired to pay to McGee SO, 100 in cash and
Administrator MCGEE is to sell all the real
property OF which William Sledentopf
seized, except such as had been decided by
William f. Siedentopf to Frank Haas. his
brother-in-law and thereafter decided by
Haas, and such other property which had
been decided to other heirs by William +.
Sledentopf. where such deeds have been re-
corded.
Frank Haas is to recover from Admins
traitor MCGEE SS75.40. which he paid to re-
deem certain land in Garner township from
tax sale, and he is required to deed this
property to w. M. Pussy as trustee for the
creditors Of the estate. This property Is
very valuable.
In consideration of this settlement the
application Of William F. Siedentopf and
his sister, Mrs. Frank Haas, for allowance
and admeasurement Of their mothers dis
trlbutive share in their fathers estate Is
disalloweo. William F. Sledentopf, who has
claims aggregating $2,S7s.17. will be per-
mitted to participate in the dividends de-
clared by the administrator the same as
other creditors.
All suits brought by Administrator Nc
Gee against William f.. Siedentopf, former
administrator, will be dismissed and the
litigation closed.
Two suits brought by the First National
bank OF this city to recover $500 on notes
were also dismissed under a stipulation Of
settlement by which William F. Siedentopf
is to pay the bank $500.
