HORSE AND WAGON OF A PAINTER EXEMPT Judge de Haven Is Reversed by | United States Circuit Court of Appeals. The United States Circuit Court of Ap peals handed down an opinion yesterday through Judge Hawley reversing the judg- | ment of United States District Judge de | Haven In the matter of James Hindman, | krupt.

He clatmed his horse and wagon to be ex- empt from execution, alleging that he | them In transporting his tools, paints, ladders, etc.. to and from his work, | and that {f he had to pay for the deliv-| ery of his tools and material he would not make any profit. The referee decided | that the horse and wagon were not ex- | empt, and Judge de Haven confirmed the | | Tepo! In reversing Judge de Haven the Court of Appeals says: “It is not necessary in order to secure exemption of the property that the use of | the team should be the petitioner's only | means of earning a living for himself and fami It is enough for him to show that | he uses the team as a laborer in a line of business similar in its character to the specific occupations named in the statute, | and that such vse is necessary in order to | enable him to earn his living.” ————— CALIFORNIA SKETCH CLUB SHOWS MANY SPECIMENS Exhibition of the Work of the Mem- bers During the Last Year Being Held.
