NUMBER OF CASES
Lapse in Appellate Court by
Non-Appearance.
OF THE lITIGANTS
Collecting of Taxes Through
Personal Judgement.

At no other session OF the appellate
court in Wichita has there ever been so
many cases gone b. defslt-dismissed be-
cause the litigants did not appear. Peo-
pie apparently have too much business
to go into court.
One OF the interesting cases is a suit
by the county treasurer of Guernsey
county. Ohio. against W. E. Galloway.
formerly Of Kingman, but later in bust
nes al Blackwell. 0. T. to collect $3.50
taxes due in 1859. The amount was as
sessed against a stock of goods which
Mr.. Galloway had. but before the matter
was paid Mr.. Galloway had moved 20
Kansas. The county treasurer claimed
that as the tax was personal. he could
follow Mr.. Galloway to Kansas. get a
judgment for the amount and collect It.
This was the first jury case Judge Ba-
shore. Kansas first Popuist judge ever
tried in Kingman county. II had already
come up from a justice court in which
judgment had been rendered against Mr..
Galloway.
The retiring judge, Mr. S. ". Leslie.
now of Hutchinson, made the defense Tor
Mr.. Holloway on the ground that Ohio
taxes could not be collected in Kansas.
The district court affirmed the justice
court and the case was sent 10 the SUI
preme court and remanded here. George
L. Hay, Of Kingman. is here to prosecute
the claim of the Ohio people. but the
case will probably be dismissed for non
appearance OF the plaintiffs. which viii
allow the collection OF the taxes as a per-
sonal judgment against Mr. Galloway.
