Joseph Bunshu, who owns real estate
AUDITING the East Washington-street sewer,
has asked the court to restrain the county
treasurer from selling his property to
satisfy the assessment against it on account
of the building of the sewer. Bunshu claims
the property was enormously assessed he
says his ground cannot be called city lot
within the meaning of the charter, because
il has never been plated as a lot. He
claims the Board of Public Works has ap-
proved the assessment and the treasurer
is about to levy on the property.

OIL COMPANY'S AFFAIRS
WILLIAM KOTHE SEEKS A RECEIV-
ERsHIP FOR THE KEYSTONE.
A Note for $4,000 That Plays a Part
-SchIeuter Child Goes
to It's Aunt.

William Kothe began an action in the
Superior Court yesterday to have a receiver
appointed for the keystone Oil and Gas
Company, which occupies oil and gas fields
at Broad Ripple. George L. Rittenhouse,
the Broad Ripple Oil and Gas Company and
George =. Hume, trustee, are made party
defendants to the suit.
1t is shown that the keystone Oil and
Gas Company, in November, 1896 gave its
note for $4,000 payable to George Hume,
trustee, in one year from Dec Z, 1896 The
company secured the note by giving mort
gage on its property. Prior to this ii is
claimed the company entered into an agree
ment with George L. Rittenhouse to furnish
gas to the Broad Ripple people in the event
that the field produced gas. The company
gave Rittenhouse a mortgage on its prop
erty to secure the faithful performance of
the contract But it was agreed at the time
that should Rittenhouse become identified
with the Broad Ripple Oil and Gas Com
pany his contract with the keystone Com
pany should be assigned to the former con-
Germ The plaintiff AYERS the belief that
the defendant Rittenhouse has now a con-
trolling interest in the Broad Ripple Oil
and Gas Company. He declares that the
keystone Oil and Gas Company, according
to its contract, is furnishing gas from two
wells, but he AYERS that Rittenhouse and
the Broad Ripple Company are demanding
that another we'll be sunk, which the plain
tiff AYERS the keystone Company is finan-
cially unable to do at this time The plant
if asserts that the Keystone Company, is
very short of funds and is in no condition
to stand litigation at this time. The notes
issued a year ago are about to fall due,
and the plaintiff says there is danger of
Rittenhouse and the Broad Ripple Company
pany. In the opinion of the plaintiff the
company could not possibly raise more than
So 900 of assets. He urges that a receiver
be appointed to take charge of the COM
panys affairs and protect its interests.
