DISSOLVED Judge Williams Decides for Kirby Bank Creditors. Judge John A. Williams, sitting as United States circuit judge for the district of Kansas, at Little Rock on Saturday discharged from attachment real estate appraised at $50,000 belonging to the Thomas Kirby Bank of Abilene, which is now in the hands of a receiver. All the creditors drew the recent dividend except Rev. O.P. Gallagher, a Cathclic priest of Pittsburg, Pa., who went into the federal court and attached the realty. Judge Williams discharged the attachment on the ground that the federal courts will not interfere with the rights and remedies of state courts. The decision allows the receiver to deed over the real estate to purchasers who are ready to take it and it will give a larger dividend for the creditors on Nov. 10.
