Jjewie died and his heirs-at-law brought an action against Hallman to recover the land of which Hallman wa9 then in possession, it being the same land deeded to Lewie, and for a partition thereof among the Lewie heirs. Hallman in the meantime paid the $350, but was indebted to Lewie in other euros, and Hallman claimed that the $350 having been paid the deed given would not cover bis other indebtedness to Lewie, and that Lewie should be required to reconvey the land back to him. The laDd was finally ordered sold to pay the other indebtedness to Lewie, and then Hallman claimed that as against these debts he was entitled to a homestead in thelaDd, and petitioned the Clerk of Court to set off to him a homestead in the land. The Clcik, according to the advice cf the attorneys for the Lewie heirs, refused to eetcffto Hallman such homestead, whereupon Hallmar, by bis aH orneys, petitioned Judge Ernest Gary to fapp Goinp lie. ! yard $ J. 00. , -, t~>-in Round Thivad >-im i a\ u < , kind vou want lor eei eciaL >ard - cloth^md scarfs, si , . . 00-in Linen sheeting. iiuiT "y ^ ? the best number we h ^n ( j11/,'11 fabric; nothing better one dollar . ,> .... . .? ?and whole suits. , p, , vard She. tjd Daiuii.sk. al| ? . anywhere else. social.
