Article Text

A suit for $41,000 was begun in the federal court Saturday against the Western Farm Mortgage Trust company of Lawrence. The suit is to recover on guaranteed paper and the petition is a very large one there being 150 close written pages of type writing setting forth 218 separate causes of action. This company had a capital of 11/2 million dollars and guaranteed loans in the amount of 9 million dollars. It is in the hands of a receiver. R. D. McCliman, of Goffs, who was a populist member of the house in 1893, was in the city Saturday. His report of political conditions in Nemaha county is very satisfactory. He says that he never saw such good corn 88 there is along the Rock Island line through Jackson and Nemaha. It is all good and seems to be one continuous field all of the way.
