Receiver for MOncur
Estate Is Denied by
Vice-Chancellor Emery

The application for a receiver to
take charge of the estate of Mr.. and
Mrs. George A. Moncur, at Hunter
| don and First streets, was denied to-
day by Vice-Chancellor Emery in
| Chancerv Court. The court agreed to-
place Mr. Moncur under bond of
| 81. 900 to collect the rents OF the prop
! erty and reduce the interest OF the
mortgages on ii.
Nathan kaufman, who holds
mortgage on the property, assigned
him by Morris Gordon, filed the COM
plant. asking for a receiver, on the
ground that the Moncurs were in
solvent. Roy Anthony, who repre-
scented Kaufman, declared that a
number of reputable real estate men
contradicted Moncur's testimony that
the estate is worth s62, 000 Kauf
mans witnesses asserted the tract
would not bring more than $4,000 at
forced sale.
Abner Kalisch. representing the
Moncurs, denied practically every al
legation of the complainants. In adj
dition Mr.. Kalisch made charges that
his client had been subjected to
usurious interest charges on the
mortgage held by Kaufman. The
lawyer declared that on a total
amount of two mortgages, $1,000, she
was obliged to pay 5000 In interest
and commissions, and that before she
received any money on the loan.
why, the lawyers who were in
strumental in securing this enormous
sum of interest knew it was a
fraud" exclaimed Mr.. Kalisch. For
what other reason would they insist
that she make an. affidavit asserting
there had been no fraud in the
transaction?
Consider the amount my client
had to pay for that $3,5OO," he con-
tinued Mine hundred dollars she
had to part with for that loan. Why,
it is enough to make Shylock grieve
In his gravel"
The mortgage on which the fore
closure proceedings were brought was
executed on May II last. The Sc
curity Building and Loan Associa-
ton, of this city, held another mort
gage of $4,000, but this has been re-
duced to about 800, according to
Moncur. In addition the defendant
asserted that the property was as
worth at least that sum.
There are six houses on the prop
ertv and some unimproved property
Is also involved. Attorney Anthony
claimed that the Moncurs were five
months in arrears of their install
ments due the building and loan as
ISOLATION.
Vice. Chancellor Emery suggested
that Mr. Moncur be allowed to col
lect the rents on his fling bond of
$1,000. This move was agreed upon,
as II will save the estate the ex-
penses of a receiver.

Band Concert Abandoned.

Owing to the disinclination of the

an expensive public entertainment
fund so soon after Watermelon Day,
w. H. Cook has abandoned the pro-
ject of presenting a free open air
concert to the people of this section
by one OF the noted bands of the

Some of our citizens have express
ed themselves as being in favor
of adopting Mr.. Cooks idea for the
next Watermelon Day anniversary
and doing away with the acrobatic
and other street performances. The
stunts put on by the average enter
tainers in this line have more or
less of carnival or side show flavor
which does not appeal strongly to a
large number of people, in fact the
public interest in that sort of enter
tainment is largely on the decline,

Supreme Court Docket.

Webster City attorneys this morn
ing received copies OF the supreme
court docket for the September
term, which begins tomorrow. The
docket contains the amended rules
OF the court providing for the di-
vision of the judges into two sec
tions and the submission OF cases to
each section, as provided for by the
acts OF the last legislature with a
view of expediting the work OF the
supreme court, which is about year
behind with it's business. Webster
City attorneys having cases pending
in this court have been very anxious
to get the amended rules and learn
when their cases would be heard. 1t
appears that the delay has been
caused by the state printer. A note
on the first page of the docket ex-
plains In part the delay: "The
copy for this docket was sent to the
state printer on Aug. 27, 1913"
This is a strong argument on behalf
of those who have wished to abolish
the office OF state printer with 2
view Of letting the printers of the
state compete by bidding for the
work.

tion for CIVILIZATIONS the sum of not
less than ten thousand dollars. And
in consideration Of the party of the

al of two hundred dollars payable on

part shall have the option to cancel
this agreement at any time prior to
the first day of.March, 1919, in the
event that he will find it to be i'm
practicable to drain and improve

or whatever it may be called what
is the purpose behind such a dis
patch is the one quoted above? 1t
looks as though efforts were being
made to fool the people and to push
the deal through on the quiet. Re-
ally, the agreement is more one-sid-
ed than has been generally suppos-
ed. Mr. Austin has the lake bed for
six years absolutely free and he<can
then surrender his contract If he
finds he is not disposed to improve
and drain the property.
