RECEIVER IS NAMED FOR BURROWS CAMP

Valparaiso Vidette: - Ert Turman, of Pleasant township, was yesterday appoined receiver by Judge Loring, in the circuit court, to take charge of the property at Burrow’s camp, on the Kankakee river. Burrows, by his attorney, F. B. Parks, filed a petition for an injunctio nand appointment of a receiver. The property was sold several years ago by Burrows to Charles Smith. Burrows held a mortgage of $4,000 against the place, and the Rensselaer Lumber company had a mechanic’s lien of S4OO for lumber furnished. When the saloons went out of busines, Smith went away to war and left the property in the keeping of his father, John Smith. The latter began the dismantling of the buildings and hauling them to West Hammond. Four loads were taken away. The buildings comprised a duelling house, store room, dance hall, * and rooming house. Foreclosure proceedings were out of the question on account of the government ruling that no snap judgments can be taken against soldiers in the service, and the appointment of a receiver tp preserve the property during the owner’s absence was next in order.
