DECREE
Of BANKRUPTCY
BRICTSON MANUFACTURING co.
NO LONGER IN HANDS
OF RECEIVER
SHOW EVIDENCE PLENTY CASH ASSETS
U. S. Court OF Appeals Orders All
Property Turned Back to
the Company

The Brictson Manufacturing com
pany is no longer in the hands OF a
receiver as a result of a decision OF
the United States Circuit court Of ap-
peals made on April 5, reversing the
decree of the Nebraska court and
ordering that the receiver return all
property to the company and tina. the
bill of complaint be dismissed at COM
plainant's costs. According to NJ. e.
Culhane Of Minneapolis, formerly OF
Brookings, who was the attorney for
the Brictson company, this case was
brought by II. K. Close ana six other
stockholders of the company and tried
at Omaha last August resulting in the
appointment Of Ralph West of Omaha,
as receiver.
The Brictson Manufacturing COM
pany was originally incorporated in
Brookings and was engaged in the
manufacture OF a patented automobile
tire. With the growth of che business
it moved to Omaha. At the time the
case vas opened the company was not
insolvent. 1t owed nc debts. j. had
about sos, 900 in Liberty bonds and
cash, besides it had a valuable factory
site of about six and a quarter acres
free from encumbrance within about
six blocks Of Farnham street, the
principal business street in Omaha.
LIS site is located along side the rigbt
of way of the transcontinental rail-
ways and the new million dollar Rock
Island depot will be within two blocks
of it. The Rock Island railway paid
over $500, 900 for it's smaller site some
years ago. The company had a large
stock of tires and tubes valued at
$70,0 besides other assets. In view
of these facts an appeal was taken
from the order appointing a receiver
and the circuit court of appeals de.
cided in favor of the company.
This case followed closely on The
dismissal Of the case of Swobe VS..
Brictson Manufacturing Co. Swobe
brought an action against Brictson
Manufacturing Co. to ecove about
$4,000 he alleged to be due Kim as
commission on sales OF stock under
the terms Of a contract he GAINED to
have with the company. The contract
provided that Swobe should receive a
commission OF 10 per cent, one-half in
cash and one-half in common stock
Of the company. After Swope has re,
ceived one-half of his commission in
cash, he contended that he should re-
ceive all Of his commission in cash
rather than any part Of it in common
stock and brought suit accordingly.
On demurrer to the complaint the
trial court held that Swobe was
obliged to take one-half Of his com
mission in common stock Of the com
pany and sustained the demurrer and
dismissed the case. On appeal. The
circuit court of appeals sustained the
lower court in an opinion handed down
March 4, 1922.

ISOLATED HOSPITAL

Contagious Diseases.

OWOSSO, April 20.-An attempt
Is under way to hs&e a county iso-
lation hospital erected on the
grounds of the memorial hospital.
At present all patients having a
contagious disease have to be sent
to the county farm and are de-
prived of the necessities of q mod
ern hospital, and the inmates of the
farm are also in danger of con-
tracing disease.
The State Welfare department
on it's last inspection of the county
farm condemned it as insanitary,
to be used as a hospital, and that
the county erect proper building
before February "a, 1923.
1t is because of this decision that
the board of trustees are asking
the board of supervisors to have
the new building erected near Me-
mortal hospital instead of the
county farm.
If this is done it will not only be
advantageous to county but to the
hospital as well.
