were also arrested under two charges,
one for trespass and the other for re-
failing liquor without a license. The
trespass charge was settled without
going to court and a fine of 500 and
costs was paid to settle the selling
liquor warrant.

tempted a compromise with their cred
itors, but without success. The appli-
cation for homestead exemption was
the final outcome of the matter. The
