or to drift with his net, was compelled
to have both a set net and a drift net
license. A fisherman also was com

NOVEL DEFENSE DOES
NOT SAVE PROPERTY
GLA03TONE MAN CLAIMS MORT
GAGE SECURED BY DURESS,
BUT LOSES HIS CASE.
The plea that a $1000 mortgage, held
by F. F. Prandes, was secured through
duress, failed lo In the circuit court
Tuesday when Judgia Pagley, sitting
for Circuit Judge Campbell, gave
Hrandes a decree to foreclose on Karl
Johnson's property In Gladstone, and
a Judgment for $100 for attorney fees
and costs. E. C. Dye was Johnson's
attorney.
Johnson waa defendant In a divorce
suit some time ago and his wife se
cured $250 alimony The money was
not paid and Johnson was ordered to
appear to show cause why It had not
been paid. He protested he did not
have the money, and Judge Campbell
told htm to mortgage his Gladstone
home.
A $750 mortgage was already out
standing against the property, and
Johnson secured a new loan of $1000
from Hrandes, and paid the $250 to his
wife.
Johnson then pleaded that he was
forced to give Brandos the mortgage,
and that therefore It could not hold.
