Howard M. Lewis and Leo Ziedler.

Fred Ibsen, Receiver of many clos
ed banks in Sheridan county, is ex-
hibiting considerable perturbation
about the outcome of the case, close
observers in Plentywood state. Ibsen
has long been recognized as a partner
of Kelly in many deals. Kelly was
the chief booster for his appointment
as receiver and had many conferences
with him regarding the farm which
Kelly claims as his own but which is
mortgaged to the defunct BeisekeT
bank. 1t appears that the deals in
connection with this and other NAL
Orderous deals in which both Kelly
and Ibsen were principals have not
turned out in a mutually satisfactory
way. There if rift in the lutte be-
tween the one-time friends.

Kelly was recently ordered paid 9
