single thing that would lead anyone to
question his honesty"
1t is certainly great misfortune
which has befallen the people of these
two communities, and our sympathies
go out to them as we'll as to Mr.. Green
in his hour of financial failure.
Since the above was placed in type a
new receiver has been petitioned for
and appointed. and the proceedings will
now come up before the federal court q,
Council Bluffs. The following appeared
in the Nonpareil Of Sunday:
The announcement in Thursday g
Nonpareil of the failure of n. S. Green's
banks, one at Dow City and the other
at Buck Grove, with the appointment
of N. r. Wilder to the receivership,
was followed yesterday by the receipt
at the United States court in this city
of an order from Judge Smith McPher-
son naming William Arnd of Council
Bluffs as the receiver of the defunct
institutions, Judge McPherson's ap.
pointment of Mr.. Arnd as receiver was
in response to the petition of five of 81.
8. Green's creditors. The creditors and
the amounts of their claims are as fol-
lows: G. A. Dow, $1,000; S. A. Dow,
$9l5.72; A. G. Heath, 81 .29O; John Vim
egerwituh. $1,000; Abner Graves, $500.
All of the petitioners reside at Dow
City with the exception of Abner
Graves, who lives in Denver, Colo.
The petitioners also asked that s. A.
Dow be appointed as one of the receiv-
ers. Their reasons for asking for new
receiver is evident from the following
clause; "That II. 8. Green has com.
mitted an act of bankruptcy rs shown
by the said petition in that he made q
general assignment to one N. R. Wild.
er of Dow City; that said N. r. Wilder
is former employe Of 81. s. Green and
is close business associate of the said
bankrupt. and was selected and made
such assignee at the instance and In
the interest Of said bankrupt" Mr..
Arnd's bond was fixed at S25. 900.

The petitioners allege that Black al
so committed an act OF bankruptcy
when oa April he executed and de-
livered to N. R. Wilder, the receiver of
the banks. a chattel mortgage covering
his stock of goods, all his bills and ac-
counts receivable and all the property
of the said Black; the mortgage being
in the sum of $500, and in excess of
the value of the property SO mortgag
ed and in excess of the value of all the
assets of Thomas Black; and that the
mortgage was given for the purpose,
intent and with the effect of preferring
N. r Wilder as the receiver over other
creditors.
In compliance with this petition,
Judge Mcpherson appointed Forrest
Smith. his bond being fixed at $4,000.

piled for places and were elected except
Miss Berdie Haskin. Miss Allie Sewell
and Prof. r w. coie. Miss Emma
Raine and Miss Willetta Strain were
elected to fill the vacancies in the anks
of the grade teachers, but it is not yet

as there is likely to be some changes
made in that respect affecting several
of the teachers. Another meeting will
be held some time in the future at
which principal will be elected to
take the place of Mr.. Core. There are
several applicants for the place, but the
board wishes to take plenty of time and
