KNEHANS HAS QUEER
HOMESTEAD CASE
Attorneys Puzzle Over Farmers
Land Owned Jointly With
His Brother.

Another fine question of homestead
law yesterday afternoon was raised
before L. S. Referee in Bankruptcy
o. A. knehans in the first creditors
meeting in the settlement of the es-
tate of Percy H. Anders, of Kennett,
a farmer, who filed Il petition in b:.nE-
ruptcy several days ago.
Mr.. Anders' father died some time
ago and on his death he wiiled his
farm property to Anders and his
younger brother, who still is under
age. By the terms of the will, the
father gave his two sons his property
to hold Jointly.
The question that is raised in the
bankruptcy court is whether or not III
view of the fact that the land is he'd
Jointly by the two brothers, can An
dels, the bankrupt, have a homestead?
Julian G. Miller, his counsel, declared
he believed he can.
knchans referred the question to
John |. Sample, whom he appointed rs
trustee in the estate, and it will be up
to Sample to satisfy the referee on
the matter at the next meeting Of the
creditors.
Mr. Anders was forced into bank
rurtcy by the two years drouth that
forced him to assume obligations
which he could not meet.
knehans yesterday also settled the
bankruptcy case Of the Harrison Mcr-
camille Company Of Bloomfield. When
he held Il creditors meeting by him
self and declared final dividend Of
15.14 per cent. The company went
into bankruptcy more than Il year and
4 half ago with debts aggrecating
approximately 1927, which were al
lowed in the court.
\ first dividend in this case. 40 per
cent, was declared in the settlement
Of the estate some time ago, and the
final dividend raises the participation
of the creditors to total of 53.l4 por
cent Of their claims.

kNEHANS POSTPONES MANN
BROTHERS, CLAIM HEARING
Attorneys Will Argue Validity of
Banks Claim of More Than
100000 on March 80.

l. S. Referee in Bankruptcy Q. A.
hnehans yesterday postponed tho
hearing on a motion to cxpun~c 4
claim of more than 100000 in the
Mann brothers bankruptcy case from
tomorrow until March 80. after j new
motion had been filed by representa-
tives Of the National Bank of Com
mcrcc of St. Louis, which had filed the
claim.
Several days ago Frank E. Nall,
trustee for the estate, filed the motion
to have the claim expunged from the
case, and date for a hearing was
appointed after the bank had filed an
answer to the motion.
More than $4,000 cash is held in
the bank for the creditors of the es-
tate and it is an important question
to determine if the claim of the Ma
tiOnal Bank of Commerce of st. Louis
is valid or not. The banks claim
amounts to approximately half the
claims against the estate, and should
it be allowed, the dividend in the es-
tate will be relatively small; whereas,
if it is not allowed, the remaining
creditors will get a substantial divi-
dend in the estate.
The determination of this question,
Mr.. Knehans said, is the only thing
that is delaying the adjudication of |
the estate.
