FLED WITH THEIR MILLIONS
To Escape Taxation tho Bowen Heirs
Carry Away IA Great Fortune

carry Away IA Great Fortune
INDIANAPoLIs, April 0-The flight Of
the Bowen heirs from Carroll county, car
rying with them millions Of dollars Of per-
sonal property for the purpose Of evading
| the tax laws, created quite sensation In
northern Indiana. They were well known
there and the story Of the long secrctcd
wealth Is the one theme Of gossip.
Abner Bowen died "A year ago aud left
what was known to be n largo fortune It's
extent was not appreciated until the ad-
minlstrator was appointed. II then de-
VclODcd that the fortune aggregated So
OOO,OOO, and at the same time IL dawncd
upon the officials Of the county that the
estate, except a few thousands Of dollars
had always escaped taxation. A move
was at once made TO place the property
upon the tax duplicate and collect taxes
Tor ten or twelve years In which II had
never been listed.
The administrator asked for change
OF venue from the county TO the lower
court ruled that no venue could be- taken
In cases Of administration. An appeal
followed and the decision was sustained
by the supreme court. When the lcgisu-
turc met Representative johnson, Of Car
roll county, introduced bin which au-
thorizcd changes Of venue in such cases
and II passed the house without any sus-
Dlclon That u was Intended TO meet the
exgencics Of IA local and pending case.
The senate discovered the truth In time
TO amend the bill 50 that II would not ap-
ply TO pending litigation and it passed and
went 10 the governor.
In the meantime the governor heard Of
the Bowen case, and he vetoed the bill,
ana the veto was sustained. The bill thus
failed 10 become law. Finding that they
could not carry the case from the county

notes, bonds, mortgages, diamonds aud
Jcwclry with them. One reason for this |
Night Is that they wish TO get the tax
suits into the Federal court as nOn-rcsi- !
