THE VAWTERs GO TO LAW
A Large Estate Reduced to Almost
Nothing and Litigation VIII
Take the BaIane.
Wholesale fraud is CHARGED by tn


Wholesale fraud is charged by the
children of J. d. Vawter against their
step mother and others who had the
control of their fathers estate. They
filed a suit in the district court today
for the appointment of a receiver to
take charge Of the property, an injunc-
ton preventing any more of the estate
from being sold and recovery OF the
money paid on claims alleged to nave
been fraudulent.
The whole case is an extraordinary
one.
When in 1884 J. d. vawter married
for the second time, he welded wo-
man of "a years. He himself was IS.
At that time it is claimed that his es-
tate was worth S125,000. Now it is said
to be worth $40 600.
AS a result Of the second marriage,
clarence D. NaWter, now eleven years
Of age, was born. His father decided
70 MIN property said to be worth So
600. To his wife he gave S35, 600.
The old gentleman lived to the age OF
Sc, dying in 1894. Mrs. Louisa K. Naw-
ter, his second wife, was made admin
lstratrix of the estate which is out
near Wakarusa- 1t is against her, with
her son Clarence D. WaWter her ne
phew Alfred Zane, Of zane & Son, gro
. GERS, and their attorney, +. r. Ches-
ney, that the children by the first mar
riage, Is. +. and J. E. VaWter Viola
McCOlm, and George e. McCOlm, bring
suit.
All of the plaintiffs live out near
Wakarusa and Waveland-
The largest amount to which the
plaintiffs object is the allowance by the
probate court of So, 165 to Clarence d.
VaWter as rents and profits on the
land which was decided to him by his
father, but who collected the rents on
it up to the time of his death after it
had passed from his possession The
other children claim that the profits
during that time on it amounted to but
1888, and that their father never took
more than $197 Of that amount at the
most.
One thousand thirty-one dollars was
allowed to Washburn college on a
mortgage The children allege that
there was no such instrument
Alfred Zane, the nephew of Mrs.
Louisa K WaWter, was allowed S178
for a bill of groceries, and the petition
kR4e the time, and acknowledged it in
the inventory. They charge fraud in
Zane's appointment as an appraiser of
the estate when he was a nephew of
Mrs. NaWter, was the guardian of her
son Clarence D., and owed the estate
money.
The whole thing is capped off by a
charge Of conspiracy against the de
PENDANTS to keep hte children from
being present in the probate court when
these claims were allowed They say
that Probate Judge Wood ordered
Lawyer f. ID. Chesney to twice notify
each of the children by letter that the
claims were to be heard. This would
make eight letters, and the plaintiffs
I claim that not one was ever received.

When the action of the board of coun-

too late for the city to do any thing to-
ward collecting the taxes in the city
and the city of Topeka lost something
over $500 in taxes last year by the ac-
ton of the board

the city, went before the county clerk

placed on the city tax rolls. This was
accordingly done and the city assessor

property is taxable in his township and

WHAT THE ELKS MAY DO
Charlie Holiday Suggests That

Some Very Pertinent Suggestions
Made by Mr.. Holiday, Who Has
a Great Reputation for Activ-
ity in Popular Events

@. tx. Holiday, Jr..has not yet present
ed the question Of having the Elks take
charge ofthe categorical tableauX at the
Fan Festival to the local lodge. He says
that he intends to do SO Friday evening
and that he has no doubt the ElNs viii
take a hand in the celebration
There is just one man in this coun-
try that can take charge of the tab
leaux and make them a success" said
he. and that is VIII Haskell He is the
only one that can present a thing so
gorgeous and have lit harmonic perfect

can be seen by thousands. The ordinary
man would probably have tableauN
that could be enjoyed by a few people
near the stage and the effect would be
lost to the rest.
employed to make the drawings, and
that Haskell should put them on A
great deal of time would have to be
spent in selecting appropriate cos
tunes as well as in drilling the per1or-
IF Haskell is employed to look after
the tableauE. I believe that the Elks
would agree to take charge of that part
OF the entertainment OF at least assist
II believe that there should be at
least ten tableauX, and the subjects
might be selected by a committee or
some one competent to Judge OF course
the first would be Coronado crossing
the state with his retinue- Then there
would be John Brown starting out TO
free the slaves. There could be the black
people i'm the foreground with the mana
cles falling off or something Of the
kind.
There are several members of the
first free state legislature still living IN
Kansas and the dispersion of that leg
isIature by United States troops would
be a good subject. The men who were
members could be persuaded to come
here and take part in the tableauN.
and that would help to make it decided
