Ia the United States District
| Court at Fort Dodge last week, a
decision was reached by jury,
which will throw the firm OF Ora
ham Bros, formerly of this city, in
to involuntary bankruptcy. A
large number of our real estate
men and other citizens were present
as witnesses, and Attorneys Gala
her d Graham were attorneys for
| the defendants. The question as to
the solvency or insolvency of the
firm turned upon the valuation
placed upon their half-section
farm in Franklin township, known
as the old Lawton farm. Some of
the witnesses said it was worth $40
per acre; others that it was only
worth $50 per acre. The jury split

insolvent by about $3.50. Through
their attorneys they announce that
| they will contest this decision in
the higher Courts, maintaining that
they are not insolvent. The credit
