Receivership Asked.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, Ind. Aug. 4.-Suit has
been filed by John w. Pohlman against the
Greensburg Carriage Company asking the
appointment of a receiver. This company
was originally organized by men from Gin
cinnati, and was known as the Baxter Car
riage Company. The factory was erected
by citizens from proceeds derived from the
sale of lots at an expense of 500, 900, and
was to become the property of the company
that would operate it until 1898. 1t is re-
ported that the suit is a friendly one, and
that the factory will continue to be OPP
Grated, but much surprise is expressed at
this turn of affairs. 1t has been running a
full force of men for two years. Baxter,
Pohlman and Hatheral came from Cincin-
natl, Hatheral claiming that city as his
residence. Charles Hatheral has also filed
a suit asking for a receiver for the same
firCI.

BUILDING STOCK.
Judge Martin Holds that Partially
Paid Shares Are

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BEDFORD, nd, Aug. A case that has
excited a great deal of interest in this
community, and also Monroe county, has
just been settled by Judge Martin, of the
Lawrence Circuit Court. The case comes
from Bloomington, and is as follows: w. J.
Allen, Of that city, it was claimed, was the
owner of 4S7 shares of running stock in a
building and loan association of that place.
This class of stock had not heretofore been
assessed. and Mr.. Allen refused to return it
to the assessor. The association refused to
allow the county assessor access to the
books. so that he was not able to ascer~
tain how much had been paid in on the
stock. So the assessor gave Allen notice to
show cause why he should not be assessed
with Its face value, which is about $4S, 700.
lie brought suit to enjoin the officers from
assessing IT in any amount, and the case
was brought before Judge Martin last week,
who reserved his decision until Tuesday.
If the stock is taxable this year all stock
held in previous years will be put on the
tax duplicate, and the tax will have to be
paid, which will mean a large sum to be
paid In taxes by a large number of such
stockholders.
Judge Martin refused to grant an injunc-
ton. lie held that all building and loan
stock is taxable unless money has been
borrowed on such stock by the owner. 1t
was commended that ii the stock We're tax
able at all it should be taxed to the loan
associations, but Judge Martin held that
the stock is taxable in the name of the
owner, backing up his opinion by quite a
lengthy review of legal points and their
meaning as regards such cases.
