the next term of the district court
The total amount of indebtedness of
the association for which the direc-
tors are held responsible is nearly
$4,000, and they are by process of
law trying to compel those who
claim they were stockholders to
stand their share of the debts. The
question involved is whether these
men are stockholders within the
meaning of the law The matter
has been rehashed in the Martin
county court until readers are pref
ty familiar with it, and one phase
of the controversy last year went
to the supreme court. Attorney
Cooper will be assisted by Mathwig
& Sasse. Dean & Palmer are at
torneys for the alleged stockholders.
