ketcham Of Algona, who was the CEN
ter of financial disturbances until the
people of the town took action to have
him adjudged insane and confined in
the hospital at Cherokee, has lost his
fight in the Iowa supreme court, but
as he is now a resident of Illinois. ap-
parently everyone is satisfied.
The court dissolved the restraining
order which it had granted, preventing
the authorities from taking ketcham

ketcham was wealthy prior to his
going to Algona. He is said to have
dropped most Of his fortune in alleged
lnisdirected investments. His ideas and
movements became so Objectionable to
the people OF Aigona that they took ac-
ton against him. After an order had
been issued adjudging hi minsane, he
secured an injunction from the su

Instead Of making further fight he
hustled back to Aigona. Packed MS
