There was quite an important case tried Friday before the court involving the title to 234 acres of land in Keener township. It seems from the evidence that one A. S. Cronk and wife after being served with summons to appear in court made a deed to this land to Cronk’s father-in-law, P. A. Griffith of Oskosh, Wis. The action was brought for the purpose of setting aside this conveyance. The court made a special finding of facts in the case and found the conveyance was made for the purpose of hindering and delaying the creditors of Cronk. The case on behalf of the plaintiffs was represented by Hanley & Hunt, H. N. Stoultenberg and A. Halleck. The defendants were represented by Foltz, Spitler & Kurrie, Max D.
