California women seek TO EnJO1n the
Collection of Taxes.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, Ind, May 16.-Mrs. Huldah
vanaernam and Mrs. Cora Vanaernam
Peters, executives of the will of the late
Thomas B. Vanaernam to-day filed suit
to enjoin John w. Turner, treasurer of
Wayne county. from collecting certain
taxes said to be due on personal property
amounting to about $4,000. and also to
enjoin A. s. Reid, county auditor. from
placing the same on the duplicate for taxa
ton.
The case is one of more than ordinary
interest, and the points involved are unlike
any case that has come up in Wayne coun-
ty and possibly in the State. Vanaernam
died in 1888, and in 1887 the widow and
daughter removed to California, taking
with them the personal estate. on which
they paid the taxes up to the time of their
removal County Assessor Compton is now
endcavoring to collect tax on the personal
estate since 1887. They decline to pay it on
the ground of being non-residents. but
Compton claims they have legal residence
here and hence should be taxed here.
