ALL KENTUCKY WATCHING
AT THE BEDSIDE OF
HER STRICKEN
SON.

1t is with a sad heart that we
announce that Col. W. G. p. Brock
inridge, the silver tongued orator
statesman and lawyer, of Lexing-
ton, lies at the point of death from
several strokes of apoplexy. The
strokes came upon him while at his
desk in his office on Wednesday
last.
Col. Breckenridge had just recov-
cred from a similar attack Of
month ago, and was greatly reduced
in strength.
While Col. Breckenridge has his
faults Gas who of us has mott, there
is no question but that his great,
warm heart was as noble one as
ever beat in mans bosom.
In all his career he has ever been
noted for his gentleness and kind
ness to all, from the highest to the
lowest.
There is no question of the fact
that he is the peer of any living
man in Kentucky in ability, learn
ing and eloquence as lawyer and
all-around statesman.
We earnestly hope that his useful
life may be spared for long years
to come, but We confess our fears
as to the outcome of these strokes.

BOTH TO BE PAID.
Thos. 0. Jones Mortgage Comes First,
EXCEPT as to S25.

Judge Cray today filed his decision in
the case of Thomas o. Jones VS.. Chas. G.
Swanson, Lillian o. Swanson, Frederick
B. Swanson and Philip Leas.
The court finds as matters of fact that
on Dec 7th, 1899, Chas. G. Swanson gave
the plaintiff a note for $3.50, and secured
it with mortgage on lot G, block 1913,
West Mankato, which was not recorded
until Dec. 18th, 1902. The only amount
ever paid on this note was $52 interest.
On Feb. 26th, 1902, Chas. G.. Swanson
was indebted to Frederick B. Swanson<to
the extent of 1915, and on that day the
latter loaned the former $25 more and
took note from c. G. Swanson and wife
for $500, secured by a mortgage on the.
same piece of real estate, which was re-
corded March 9th, 1902. No part of this
has ever been paid On Dec. 22d, 1902,
Frederick B. Swanson sold and assign
ed the mortgage to Philip Leas for $500,
and this was recorded Nov. 18th, 1903
Neither of these parties had any knowl-
edge of the first mortgage for some time
The court finds that there is due to
Jones 1903, and to Leas $335.S0. 1t also
finds that Frederick B. Swanson's lien
is prior to Jones' lien to the extent of
| S25 and interest, and that the Jones
lien is prior to the Frederick B. Swan
son lien except $25 and interest.
As conclusions of law, the court holds
that Frederick B. Swanson is entitled to
Judgment dismissing the action as to
him upon its merits. The court holds
that Messrs. Jones and Leas are entitl-
ed to Judgment against Chas. G. Swanson
| and Lillian o. Swanson, his wife, that
J the premises be sold and that after pay
ing the cost of the proceeding Mr.. Leas
be paid $2s, and that if enough money
then remain Mr. Jones is to be paid in
full, and that if enough then remains
! Mr.. Lease is to be paid. If there is not
enough realized from the sale of the
property to pay all parties, Chas. G.
Swanson is to make up the deficiency.
