A deposition from Dresden, Germany, filed in a Cardington bank note dispute, states the defendant Huntington says his name was forged on the note and he did not indorse papers for Paige Carey & Co since 1890 except for three sets of notes. Related legal actions in Louisville involve attachments for fraud and fraudulent property removal, plus a suit to recover funds and set aside an assignment. The city’s assessed wealth rises to 19 565 055 with property valuation up over last year by 463 025. Governor Boyd in Ouana Neb declines renomination and pledges work for the race.
