Died Before Giving Release.

Cedar Rapids. Dec. 1s.-Four noted
law firms of Cedar Rapids are actively
engaged in the lawsuit being tried be-
fore Judge Ellison of the district court
DIR. and Mrs. ]. NJ. Ristine are asking
the capcellation Of mortgage on the
property known as. the Ristihe prop
erty at Second avenue and Fifth street
Mrs. c. d. Harrison is the sole de-
fendant, both in her individual right
and as the executrix of the will of her
deceased husband. The mortgage was
for sci 900 and thee question at issue
is the validity of a certain document
releasing the mortgage, which Mr..
Harrison is said to have agreed to de-
liver to Or. Ristine, the husband of
Mrs. Harrison's sister, when such de-
livery was deemed opportune.
According to the testimony. DR.. Ris-
tine invested considerable sum of
money in the stock of the Alamo Sugar
and Land company and had endorsed
much of that company's paper. When
the company's affairs seemed to be
going wrong. DR.. Ristine upon the ad-
vice of his attorney. Mr.. Harrison.
placed a mortgage of $21, 900 on the
Second avenue property. for the pur-
pose of protecting Mrs. Ristine against
any claim of the company or it's credi-
tors. 1t was agreed at that time ac-
cording to DR.. Ristine's testimony thae
Mr.. Harrison would execute a release
of the portgage at the same time and
deliver il to the doctor when demanded
or when it seemed safe to do so.
Then Mr.. Harrison died The mort
gage remained. but the release docu-
ment had not been delivered. So the
plaintiffs have brought suit asking
that the mortgage be set aside as hav-
ing been executed without considera-
ton.
In her testimony Mrs. Harrison said
she had told the doctor that she had
a release, but she had no release for
him According to her theory of the
matter, there was a release and also an
assignment Of the mortgage and these
had been left In box with Mr.. Harri-
sons personal property. Of which she
is the executrix. She did not recognize
the release as a paper that should be
turned over to the Ristines.
The arguments were completed be-
fore court adjourned and Judge Ellison
4 said he, might not reach his decision
until after the adjournment of this
term of court.

Some of the farmers were already
running short Of corn and others found
their hogs were not thriving properly
and concluded to ship out. Some fear
that embargoes will be renewed and
thought they would get their hogs out
