The following resolution was then

l.
adopted:
Whereas, the county recovered q
judgment against Patrick Brady on or
about June Is, 1898, for $2,250 and
costs in the suit in the district court of
Wapello county, against Patrick Brady
ct al, No. 3336,which judgment appears
upon judgment record q at page $40;
land
Whereas, afterwards in the same
suit the district court of this county
found and decreed that the homestead
|of said Patrick Brady and his wife,
Kate Brady, to wit: The west end of
out lot Twenty-eight, in the city
|of Ottumwa, Iowa, extending from Tim
Der street on the west end Of said lot
to Washington street, extended, and
the extension of Court street north
across said out lot" was liable for the
payment of said judgm ent for $2,250
and costs. but that the other real es-
tate involved In said suit owned by and
standing in the name of the defendant,
Kate Brady, was not liable; said last
decree being rendered on or about Oc-
tober 10, 1900, and recorded in Judg
ment Record 20 at pages 2SS and
2S9, the latter decree being ap-
pealed from and subsequently affirmed
In the Supreme Court of Iowa, and in
said suit the costs were also adjudged
against said defendants, Patrick Brady
and Kate Brady, and.
Whereas, 1t is made to appear to the
Board that aside from said homestead
property there is nothing belonging to
said Patrick Brady out of which the
county could r,1olyn of
judgment for $2,250 or any part of said
costs; and
Whereas, it is also made to appear
that If the county proceeds to collect
said Judgment for debt and costs it will
probably have to buy in the said home
stead property, and it would be doubt
full whether the said property could be
disposed of when the county procured
title for anything more, If as much as
the principal of said debt, without in
terest, together with said costs; and,
Whereas, Patrick Brady and Kate
Brady have offered to compromise said
judgment and costs by the payment of
the principal sum of said Judgment,
$2,250. and the entire costs in said
cases in the District court of this
County, and in the Supreme Court, If
the county would remit the interest on
said judgment and that to raise the
money to make said payment. the said
Patrick and Kate Brady will have to
mortgage, not only the said homestead
property, but other property belonging
to said Kate Brady which is not liable
for the said judgment: and,
Whereas, 1t is made to appear to the
Board that the best interests of the
county will be subserved by accepting
said offer of compromise.
Therefore resolved: That If the said
Patrick Brady and Kate Brady, or
either of them. within the next thirty
days, will pay, or cclses to be paid, to
the clerk of the said District Court of
this County, the sum of $3.50 and pay
and satisfy all the costs aforesaid in all
Of said cases the same shall
be received and accepted in
full satisfaction of said judy
ment and of said costs and in that
event the Auditor of this County is
hereby authorized to enter of record on
the part of the county full and CON-
plete satisfaction of said judgment for
l$2,250 and interest, and full satisfac--
ton of said judgments for costs, both
In the district court of this County, and
in the Supreme Court, and meantime
execution shall not issue on either of
the said judgment, but IL said money
Is not paid within said time then exc
cution shall forthwith issue.
