Sixteen wholesale firms claimed McKeon insolvent and accused him of an act of bankruptcy by transferring Salt Lake real estate valued at 10,000 to the National Bank of the Republic to secure 15,000. A receiver was appointed. McKeon contested solvency, assets estimated around 38,000, debts about 30,000, and the transfer deemed too remote to constitute bankruptcy.
