Blauser has filed in circuit court a detailed statement of the condition of the estate of Cornelius Taylor, the Ossian man who disappeared more than a year ago and was looted only recently in Ohio. Mr. Blauser shows tha the has made a sale of personal property at much above the appraised value of $375. When sold he secured for the same $523.96, and added to this he received from a payment of fire insurance $13,50, and seme other small amounts, which bring the total that came into his hands from sale of personal property up io $614.82. Ont of this amount he has paid out in the cancellation of debts, to meet family expenses, etc, the sum of $583.46, leaving a net balance of $31.36. Added to this he says that the widow’s share of com unsold will amount probably to S7O. He shows that notes to the amount of $243 are overdue and unpaid, and that there is a mortgage of S7OO held by Warren McKee against the farm cf fifty acres which is worth probably $3,000. He asked and was granted permission to borrow S2OO for the purpose of cancelling all of the small notes and adding the S2OO to the McKee mortgage, ' which is agreeable to McKee. This will bring the total of McKee’s mort-1 gage up to SBOO, but cancels all other | . indebtedness. The Taylor estate! would be worth probably $2,000 if all ! indebtedness were cancelled. —Bluff- ’ ton News. ! — O—BUTCHER SHOPS CLOSE. The undersigned will close Thanksgiving day at 9:00 a. mi sharp.
