WHAT'S DOING IN MICHIGAN Hunting Up the Wrecked Algonac Bank Assets. SAW SON CRUSHED TO DEATH. Ludington Man Struck by Lightning- She Robbed the Mourners-Latest Happenings In all Parts of the State Briefly Told for These Busy Days. The Algonac Bank. The hearing in the Algonac Banking Co.'s receivership, before Referee in Bankruptcy Davock, was held and a number of witnesses examined. Attorney Frank T. Wolcott, for Receiver Lewis T. Bennett, was seeking to elicit information from the witnesses which would tend to discover more property that should be properly added to the assets of the failed institution. The two principal items of that kind are the proceeds of the mortgage executed by Financier McKenzie just before his departure on the Kean farm, upon which a loan of $3,500 was obtained through Attorney Hanna, of Sarnia. and the $16,000 worth of collateral in possession of the Moore Bros.' bank at Marine City, as security for a $9,000 loan. In the mortgage case Attorney George G. Moore asserts that it was executed to save something for the Kean family out of the wreck, and as it is held by the alleged innnocent purchasers, and the money secured thereon has been turned over to Mrs. Kean, its whereabouts will have to be discovered before it can be confiscated. In the matter of the bank's collateral, so much thereof as can be shown to have been received by the bank within the four months prior to the failure, can be recovered back to the receiver under the bankruptcy laws. but upon this question the testimony adduced was very bazy. Charles Doyle, manager of the Marine City Bank, was somewhat uncertain in his evidence, and it was not clearly established how much of the collateral would become subject to the bankruptey laws. Cashier McKenzie was present at the hearing. There was quite a strong array of legal talent present to help unravel the snarl. The examination was adjourned until next Friday.
