Creditors must present their claims within six months after publication of the notice provided for in section 1313.14 of the Revised Code, unless further time is given by the probate court for their allowance. The assignee or trustee for the benefit of creditors shall indorse his allowance or rejection thereon. Persons whose claims are rejected are required to bring suit against such assignee or trustee to enforce such claims within thirty days after they were rejected. If a claimant recovers, the judgment shall be against the assignee or trustee, that he allow the claim in settlement of his trusts, with or without the costs, as the court deems right.
