Those l!allarpe Lots Again.

As the REGISTER noted the other
day those people in LaHarpe who
happen to hold the lots in question
can not be too careful about seeing
that they are not rendered homeless.
The FIT. Scott bank is going after the
property on an old judgment. as is
shown by the Monitor of Monday:
Grant Hornaday, president OF the
First National bank, has levied an
execution on some La Harpe property
and the bank may soon come into pos
session of some valuable gas land.
A number of town lots were attached
recently and upon none of them are
there any gas leases. This makes the
property valuable.
"From the attachment there will
arise some serious complications. The
judgment upon which execution was
levied was obtained against Judge j..
f.. Hill and Judge A. NJ. Ayers some
six years ago and it was only recently
transferred. The present owners are
innocent purchasers and a stiif law
suit is ahead of the proceedings. MIR.
Horn aday contends that the minute the
Judgment was obtained it was a lien
on the property. Execution has al.
ways been kept alive with the view oi
catching some property. 1t was not
until recently that the bank officers
| learned that the property belonged tC
Mr.. Hill. The property was not lev
led upon to satisfy the judgment claim
until after the transfer was made, the
bank will contend that it was trans
ferred to evade the Judgment. The
lots are the cream of the unimproveC
property in LaHarpe and as there are
/ o gas leases on them they are con
sidered valuable"
One of the lola lawyers who has
looked into the LaHarpe town lot dea
told REGISTER reporter that as neaj
as he can find out the bank will b
able to establish title to some eigh
lots out of the long list attached
Most of the lots were sold before tn
judgment was rendered against Mr.
Hill but these eight were sold after
wards and the present owners viii
probably lose them. The LaHarp
people are engaging legal talent an,
whatever the bank gets will only b
taken after a contest in court.

MUST MAKE THE TAX LEVY
The Bill Orders the commissioners to
Levy for Court House When Levy
ing tor County Purposes.

The other day the REGISTER gave
space to a letter from l.. B. Pearson
in which that gentleman, acting as
spokesman for goodly contingent of
his neighbors, expressed wish that
if the board of county commissioners
could do so the levying of the first
years tax for the court house be not
made this year, because the drouth
has placed many farmers in position
where a few dollars are of importance.
A perusa. of the bill authorizing the
court house election discloses that the
levying was not left to the discretion
of the commissioners. The bill says
"the first levy shall be made in 1901
at the time taxes are levied for other
county purposes, Next Monday,
August 5, the board meets according
to law to make the county levy and
during the session will make the court
house levy of > l-2 mills. The one thus
raised viii be set aside as county
building fund" and can oe used for no
other purpose.

not be expected that there will be
much of u corn crop, but there will
certainly be great increase in the
