PAID HIS DEBT OF HONOR
Kansas Lawyer Struggles Nine Years
to Wipe Out Moral
Obligation.

Fort Scott, Kan.-Attorney j. l.
Sheppard of this town recently made
the last payment on his debt Of honor.
The law declared the debt legally
blotted out years ago, but Sheppard
considered it moral obligation, and
paid every cent of it.
When the First National bank of
Fort Scott failed nine years ago notes
totaling $17,500, given by Sheppard
were among the banks papers. Under
the receivership the debt was compro-
missed for $4,000 and Sheppard
mortgaged his home to pay that
amount. He declared at the time that
he would pay the balance, even though
it had been legally" paid by court pro-
ceedings.
The first payment, amounting to $7,-
500, was made in 1914. In the follow
ing year he paid $500, and payment
of equal size recently wiped out the
