Try to Get Church Cash.-It has de- |
veloped that John S. Corns, the de-
faulting treasurer of township II
turned over to the Christian church
$1,000 in cash shortly before he left
for parts unknown. This money has
never been turned over to the trus-
tee, John Hauberg. Attorney G. W.
Wood for the trustee has made efforts
to secure this money but the attorneys
for the church have refused to turn
the money over on the grounds that it
was money left with Mr.. Corns in trust
and rightfully belonged to the church.
This, however. is matter for the
referee in bankruptcy to decide. To
morrow the real estate will be sold on
an order which has been issued by the
district court of the United States at
Peoria. The date of the sale is set.
for Jan. %, at o'clock at the court
house.
