Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, Aug. 1S.-The city OF wa
bash has begun injunction proceedings
against the Fort Wayne & Southeastern
Traction Company to restrain that corpora
ton from building on Water street. The
company several months ago was granted
the right to use Hill, Main and Miami
streets. The company found the route i'm
practicable and asked for a change, desir-
ing TO come in through the river bottom
The Council declined to act and the COM
pany then undertook to build as far as
practicable on private right of way. In SO
doing the construction gang encroached on
part of Water street and the injunction
applied for and was granted by Judge
Shively.
Public sentiment is decidedly for the COM
pany and against the Council, as the route
IT is proposed to follow includes only two
or three blocks and the change involves no
inconvenience to people on the original
route.

SUIT OVER BACK TAXES.
Important Question to BE Decided Re-
gardinG the Fowler Estate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 1S.-A costly ar
ray of legal talent took hold of the Fowler
estate tax question to-day. ]. B. Work
man. the tax ferret, some time ago found
that certain of the items in the Moses Fow-
Ter estate had not been listed for taxation,
and he is trying to have them placed
taxes and as a result of this there will be
a long legal struggle. 1t is claimed that
there is about 100000 involved in the ques-
ton, and If this is placed on the tax dupli-
cate the estate.~ valued at over million,
will be reduced by that amount. One of the
disputed items is the assessment of the an
nuity belonging to the late Mrs. Eliza Fow-
Ter, from which she received 200 annually.
The tax officers think the annuity probably
is taxable instead of the amount received
from year to year, and this important ques-
ton will have TO be settled before the case
can proceed.
