IS HELD IN TRUST
— --"*-■»- sF • '■ '‘Z+r '
Concerning the Clyde Alexander
estate case and the dispute over a cer
tain lens. 1). C. Brownell, who, at the
request of the widow and commission
er, endeavored to handle, without the
expense of an administrator, Brownell
says that he has filed a complete ac
counting of all dealings concerning
the estate and that the only differ
ence concerning the lens is that Mrs.
Alexander claims to own the lens and
that it is not a part of the estate.
Brownell says that the lens is now in
his possession, held in trust for Mrs.
Alexander. The case will probably be
settled on July 13.

THE CHURCHES
“America, the Guardian of Happi
ness and Liberty” was used at the
Methodist church Sunday as the theme
for discourse by Rev. Patton.
When our forefathers penned the
Declaration of Independence they
called the world’s attention to princi
ples of liberty and happiness which
were eventually to disturb many
haughty monarchs,” said Patton. “The
happy fruitage of the revolution caus
ed the fires of patriotism to spread to
other oppressed dependencies of for
eign powers. Through much blood
Spain lost her colonies in both North
and South America. This opened the
road whereby the various European
nations were confronting conflicts in
America for supremacy of control.
Would the United States stand idly
by and see these young republics sub
dued? President Monroe chose that
«
we become a guardian angel to our
neighbors and uttered his famous doc
trine. Almost a century has passed
since thus the weakest nation in
America became as strong in its prin
ciples of freedom against a foreign
foe as the United States. But a new
era has dawned, a foreign foe is at
tempting to dictate to the American
republics the policies to pursue. Once
more the United States has assumed
the attitude and espoused the princi
ples for which she has always stood.

STATEMENT OF ALEXANDER
CASE
Beleving that the article about the
Alexander property in Saturday’sGate
way is misleading so far as the widow
and myself are concerned, I make the
following statement:
That 1 took charge of the Alexander
property upon power-of-attorney from
the widow, Mrs. C. J. Alexander, with
the full knowledge and consent of the
U. S. commissioner.
Following directions to the letter, I
sold what I could and applied the pro
ceeds to the payment of bills.
That Mrs. Alexander wrote to me
stating that she would pay all bills
that remained unpaid after I had sold
what I could if the creditors would
wait a while. I so informed the credi
tors.
That only one of the four creditors
was unwilling to wait, the others be
ing willing to let the personal prop
erty rest, which consisted of photo
graphic apparatus which she expects
to use and keepsakes, clothing, etc.
That the widow was not responsible
in any way for the debt here.
That before there -was any trouble,
even thought of, the whlow had stated
in letters that she had operated a
studio in Minneapolis before her mar
riage to Mr. Alexander and that the
largest lens her husband used here
was her individual property; that sh?
thought a great deal of it and would
not sell it, and asked me to keep it
carefully for her at my home.
That the impatient creditor peti
tioned the court to appoint J. L. Green
administrator, which was done.
That the administrator and petition
er are seeking to have the above lens
turned over as a part of Mr. Alexand
ers property.
That on June 25 1 filed with the'
commissioner a full and complete re
port of all my doings in this affair,
accounting for all money and effects,
stilting exactly where everything is
at the present time. Any one inter
ested may read this report at the
court room or may use the carbon copy
at my home.
That the trouble in this matter is
occasioned by my holding the lens
Mrs. Alexander says is hers, and 1
am doing so solely to protect the wi
dow, as I would wish another to act
for my mother.
That I have informed the widow I
was glad to be of service and that she
owes me nothing for it.
I shall be glad to prove to any one,
by my papers and lists, that the above
statements are true. |
It D. C. BROWNELL.
