The Gorman case, which has been before the courts for the past 14 years, has again come before the public notice and is arousing much interest. The latest development in the case is that Sheriff Christensen has advertised that he will sell at sheriff's sale, the property of the M&StL Railroad company to secure a judgement of $5,000 which is claimed to be held against the railroad company for the killing of young Gorman, a brakeman, at Lu Verne 15 years ago. Attorney Clarke of Algona has the case.
