his own use. In consideration of these
facts they asked that the property be
removed from his charge and placed
entirely in the charge of the stock
holders of the company Also that a
receiver be appointed for the statue
until the matter was settled.
The latter request Judge Hazen at
once granted, and it was thought that
nothing further would be involved in
the case. But few days after this
action of the court, the law firm of
Waggener, Horton & Orr filed a petit
ton in the district court asking that
they be made defendants in the suit
for the purpose of prosecuting a claim
against Higbee for legal services to the
amount of $1,000 They claimed that
these services had been rendered as
counsel for the corporation at the re-
quest of the general manager, and that
as the corporation was foreign to this
state, and that the only property in
jurisdiction was the silver statue, they
were unable to bring suit file at
tachment in any other way.
Judge Hazen granted an order MAX
ing the law firm defendants in the case,
and as soon this action became gen.
orally known, Cash Henderson, the
Wichita merchant, filed a suit for
81, $50 damages for failure of Higbee to
carry out his contract to exhibit the
statue in his store at Wichita the week
after it was exhibited here, and prayed
that he also be made a defendant to the
suit. His request was granted, and
similar order as was issued to the law
firm was given to Henderson.
This was more than MeSsrs BickfOrd
and Mitchell had bargained for, and
they Immediately filed Intervening petit
tions in both the cases of Waggener,
Horton & Orr and of Henderson, ask
ing that they be not allowed to come
into the case as defendants 1t was
the arguments on these petitions that
Judge Hazen listened to yesterday
afternoon.
The case promises to be a stubborn
legal fight when it comes up in the
district court at the April term, and be-
cause of the Worldwide fame of the
Ada Rehan statue will be watched with
a great deal of interest all over the
country.
