Bankruptcy Case OF HaIvor C. johnson
Decided by Judge Shiras.
'DUBUQUE,r IOWA--Judge :Shiras has
handed down a decision in the bankruptcy
case Of Halvor G. Johnson Of Clayton
county. The bankrupt occupied a farm
in Clayton county as his homestead until
March, 1900, when he purchased a house
and lot in the town Of Elkader and oc-
cupied it as his homestead, having aban-
doned his farm. Prior to his purchase OF
the Elkader residence he became indebted
to one of his creditors in the sum OF
1535; in February, 1902, Johnson sold
his house and lot and the farm, the house
and lot selling for $500 and the farm for
So, 500. in payment whereof he took a
note of $1,750 and the balance in. cash.
He afterward discounted the note for
$1.400.
The creditor maintained that as his
claim antedates the purchase of the house
and lot in Elkader, the" 5000 received
therefor should be turned over to the
trustee in bankruptcy and applied upon
the claim held by him. The court held
however, that under the provisions Of the
code Of Iowa the bankrupt is entitled to
dispose of his homestead and invest the
sum obtained in new homestead, and il
was the intention Of the bankrupt and his
wife to reinvest the sum of 5000 in 9
home. The court further held that they
had discounted the proceeds. of the sale
to the amount Of $3.50. the value placed
upon the homestead must necessarily beal
it's share of the discount, $40, and the
| bankrupt win therefore receive $3.50 fol

PROBABLY ANOTHER MURDER
Dead Body OF Edward Mahoney Found OF
Lake Shore at Duluth.

Lake Shore at Duluth.
DULUTH, Observation-Disclosures OF
Edward Mahoney Of Duluth were aston
ished to hear that his dead body had been
found on the lake shore a short distance
south of the city hall.
Mr.. Mahoney's death is surrounded by
mystery. He is believed to have been
murdered, but there are indications of
suicide. 1t certainly was not murder for
known cause for suicide. The police and
coroner are conducting a rigid examina-
tion. -. ...' +
Mr.. Mahoney had for years been trainer
of the Duluth Boat club crews, and at
the time of his death was deputy sheriff
and jailer at the county jail. He was a
brother Of D. J. Mahoney, a teller in the
American Exchange bank. He was in per-
feet health, happily married and well to
pointing to violence. The action Of the
water had rubbed the skin from the face,
and that IS the only mark. His watch and
money were In his pockets. The watch
stopped at 110S and the tragedy must
have happened at that hour Saturday
night. it.
There are mysterious woman and man
in the case. The body was found by one
l.. Mclean, who lives in shack near
the shore. A man and woman came to
his house late at night and begged him
never to disclose their presence at that
time It is believed that Mclean can
throw more light on the case and will do
so to the authorities.
Another theory Is that Mahoney wor-
ried much over the defeat Of Sheriff Sar-
geant for renomina ton, and that it unbal-
anced his mind. The suicide theory is
not generally accepted at present.

were counted Marshall would have 2S6
majority instead Of 254; Spalding 243 in
stead Of PIT. yCronan's majority would be
reduced from 80 to Z.
The two local candidates on the state
ticket received handsome Endorsements at

for treasurer, received 275 majority, and

superintendent, LOB majority The pre-
diction' that the passing of populism meant
more for republicans than democrats has
proven true. and for the first time in
ten years Walsh county can be placed in
the reliable republican column with good
majorities. The victory is decisive one
and reflects great credit upon II. G.
