CAUSE ADJUSTED Bankruptcy Proceedings of Adam Brown Decided by Referee Harris. The Bankrupt proceedings filed by Adam Brown some time ago in Allen county was finally decided by Referee Harris at Fort Wayne in which he allowed him his bankruptcy, after however giving to the claimants who appeared and who were already mentioned in the petition by Brown himself the same being Julius Haugk and -heOld Adams County Bank, the sum of two hun dred and seventy five dollars each. The claim of Haugk and the bank originated from the horse business at the time the Bulgaria sprung a leak and all the horses were thrown overboard, Haugk being then a partner of Brown’s and the Old Adams County Bank backing Brown. This will without doubt settle the affair, unless, however Brown retains his rights and appeals the same which he says he will. BADLY HURT
