SUIT OVER COW AND CALF Two Oraters Whe Are Not Admitted Try to Break o the Bar Proceedings, The trial of the suit of Ernest F. Wagner to recover the value of a Jersey cow and calt levied upon and sold under execution by Constable Alberti, furnished amusement in the district court yesterday. In addition to his attorneys, Wagner was represented by Thomas Q. Harrison, who has not been admittcd to the bar, but prac- tices In the local justice of the peace courts. Constable Alberti's Interests were looked after by an attorney, who was as- sisted by fde & former justice of who bas not been admitted to When Harrison attempted to make the opening statement to the jury Alberti's at- torney filed a written objection on the grounds that he was not entitled to prac- tice In the district court. Judge Thornell sustained the objection and Harrison had to relinquish the opening argument to his colleague. The fun began when Ovide Vien, for the defense, would rise and object to the questions in the nesses by counsel for son would ask him If he was an attorney and if he was not what right he had to ad- dress the court. Vien would then subsid but wait his opportunity to get back at Harrison when he interloped an objection, asking his such a question as Harrison had put to him about belng an attorney. This was kept up on both sides until the court finally interefered and requested Vien d Harrison to restrain themselves. The Jersey cow in dispute was levied on under a judgment secured against Wagner's wife by John Beno & Co., and was sold to satisty a judgment. Wagner claimed owner- Ship of the cow, which, after being attached by the constable, gave birth to a calf, for the value of which Wagner also sued. The defense contended that when Wagner re- cently went through the bankruptey court he disclaimed ownership of the cow amd ellu'lmcd that it wae the property of his wite, The jury returned a verdict for Con- 566 | stable Albertl, RELIEVES THE HUBER ESTATE Judge Thornell Deelares it Not Linble Judge Thornell handed down his decision yesterday in the collateral inberitance tax case of the estate of Willlam Huber, de- & resident of Pennsylvenia and owner of real property in three countles in lowa. The case is an important one, as several new issues were raised. Under the will of Willlam Huber the ex- ecutor was directed to convert immediately all of the real estate in Iowa Into cash and the state of Pennsylvania claimed that this provision of the will converted the real property into personal property and sub- Ject to the tax in that state and not in Towa. On this ground the payment of the collateral inheritance tax in lowa was resisted. It was also contended In opposition to payment of the tax that Huber before his death had contracted for the sale of a large portion of his real estate in Iowa and econ- sequently the same could not now be taxed. In bis rullng Judge Thornell held that the estate was not llable for the collate inheritance tax on such portions of the real property as had been sold under contract prior to Huber’s death. This leved prop- erty of the value of $3,000 in Warren county and $7,600 in Cass county from payment of the tax. He held that all property which bad not been sold under contract at time of Huber's death, despite the provision in the wlill calling for its conversion into cash by the executor, was llable to payment of the tax and property valued at $5,600 in Cass county and lots in Council Bluffs valued at $400 will be subject to the tax. Huber's entire property in Wai Cass and Pottawattamie countles ate, Amounted to $16,000. The ruling of Judge Thornell relieves the estate from the pay- ment of about $500 collateral inberitance Plumbing and heating. Bixby & Son. ers to Pay. Thomas Raph was arrested February 13 for being drunk and disturbing the peace nd now alleges that John Coyle and Philip Mergen, keepers of a Main street saloonm, were responsible for his trouble, and yester- day served notice of sult for $500 damages | it upon them. He alleges that they sold him intoxicating liquor, which caused him to fracture the peace of the community and become entangled in the meshes of the law. Mrs. V. Schott, owner of the building In which is the saloon conducted by Coyle & Mergen, is named as a party defendant. Cramp Held for Assauit.

Mrs. Allen was able to appear and tes- tify yesterday for the first time since the assault. When she was about to take the witness stand Crump arose and waving his hand In the direction of the complaining wish to testify, wants to withdraw your the Mrs. Allen promptly turned in her seat and facing the negro, who stands over six feet, replied: “You are mistake: 1 mean to testify, as you will find out, and I have no wish to withdraw the charge.” The hearing proceeded.

This was adopted by a vote of 62 to 25, and a terwards the .resolution as adopted wi passed by a vote of 49 to 40.
