George F. Harding Must Pay $4,000
to Kenosha Parties on An Old
Claim of Years Ago.
WAS IN COURT FOR MANY YEARS
Old Claim Has Attracted the Attention Of
Leading Attorneys in All Parts OF the
United States.

In the United States court of APP
peaIs in Chicago Wednesday afternoon
Judgment was rendered in the suit of
Cynthia Hart ct al VS.. George +.
Harding by which Mrs. Hart, who was
formerly a resident of this city, was
given Judgment to the extent of $780,
600. The final decision of the United
States court puts an end to legal
fight which has extended for more
than twenty-six years and which has
cost the litigants thousands of dollars
in court and attorney fees.
Indeed the final judgment will
scarcely repay the plaintiffs in the case
for the large amounts that have been
spent in fighting the case. The his
tory of the case dates back more than
thirty years and for the past twenty
six years it has occupied place on the
calendars of the different courts of the
State and the United States. At the
time of the opening of the controversy
Mrs. Cynthia Hart and her husband
lived in Kenosha and operated a small
basket factory at the west end OF Park
street. The opening controversy on
which the litigation started was never
known in Kenosha. Harding was the
president of the Globe Insurance COM
pany and in this capacity it was al
legged that he held securities which
should be turned over to Mrs. Hart and
other people who were associated with
her in the long legal wrangle.
The Harris spent all their money in
fighting the case in the courts, and
when this fortune was spent other peo-
pie came to the rescue and the old case
was continued. In the meantime many
of the interested 1itigants died and
were laid to rest, but the fight went
on.
Four years ago Ex-President Harri-
son, now deceased, was employed to
take up the fight anew and he man
aged to have the case noticed in the
courts, and as result of this notice a
final decision has been rendered.
Mrs. Hart, who is now old and in
firm, is living in California, and she
has not5 visited in Kenosha for many
years. In past years several Kenosha
people we're interested in the claim
against Harding, but it is thought that
most of these claims we're purchased
by spectators who will reap the har-
vest of the long fight made by Mrs.
Hart and her associates.
There is no further appeal for the
case, and it will probably be dropped
from the calendar by payment of the
judgment.

Estate of Uncle Sam Houston is Of
fered for Probate in the MiIWau"
kee County Court.
KENOSHA RELATIVES FORGOTTEN
Estate is Given to the Widow and Her
son.-L1fe Insurance Also Goes to the
Widow-Old claim May be Pushed.

The last will and testament of the
late K. S. Houston, of this county, was
filed for probate in the county court of
Milwaukee Friday afternoon. By the
terms of the will the estate which is
estimated at 5000 is divided between
the widow and an adopted son, Harry
F. Houston. The widow is to receive
two thirds of the estate, while the son
receives the remainder. No mention
is made of the relatives or friends of
Uncle Sam in this county.
By codici1 added to the will it is
also stipulated that the life insurance
which was made payable to the first
wife of Mr.. Houston, shall be paid to
the second wife, and in this manner
the entire estate will practically pass
into the hands of the widow. Louis
G. Bohmrich, formerly of this city, is
named as executor of the will without
bond.
In the will Mr.. Houston makes no
provision for the continuance 'of his
probable that this matter will now be
dropped. A short time ago the friends
of Houston raiseds a small fund and
Sa mue1 Ashu1er, of Illinois, was EN-
p1oyed to look after the interests of
the old man, but as yet he has done
absolutely nothing in the matter.
Many people in the county believe
that Uncle Sam has a just claim
against the State and not few of
these are willing to assist in making
one more fight to secure the money al
legged to be due for the benefit of the
estate. However, without Uncle Sam
to bear the brunt of the fight another
contest to secure the settlement of the
claim would probably fall fiat, and it
will probably be considered best to
allow the old claim to die with Uncle
Sam. Two daughters of Mr.. Houston
reside in this city but as far as can be
learned he has made no provision for
them in the division of his property.

the old man the Wisconsin Cheese
Makers, at their recent meeting in

spect for the memory of the old man
who did so much for the cheese in

private AnthoIogies" Proves to be
an Interesting Topic for Discus
sion Among Club Women.
MRS. E. /. GRANT READS A PAPER
Members of Club Spend Profitable After
moon Recalling Favorite Poems-Gen-
eral Discussion Closes Meeting.

The Kenosha Woman's Club held a
most interesting meeting Wednesday
afternoon at their room at the Gilbert
M. Simmons Library building and
few meetings of the club during the
year have been SO thoroughly enjoyed.
Under the title of 'FPrivate Antho1o-
gies,'' the members of the club brought
down their scrap books and recalled
the literary work of their lives and Sc
lected some poem or prose work that
had been especially helpful to them.
The paper was read by Mrs. E. l..
Grant and she presented the subject of
''Priyate Antho1ogies" IN very clever
manner. She took it in the form of a
memorandum book which would be
kept by writer and reader during
his life time and read from it small
portions of favorite poems which had
made a distinct impression on the
mind of the writer of the paper. In
this manner many old English and
American poems which in the busy
rush of the years had been forgotten
were once more brought to the minds
of the members of the club. There
were poems from almost every English
and American poet and they were Sc
1ected in such a careful manner that
they brought back many happy MEM
DRY of readings in other years.
The discussion of the paper and the
topic was a general one and almost
every lady present was asked to read
or recite her favorite clipping from her
literary work. Nearly every one of
the old literary favorites were recited
by some of the ladies during the dis
cussion. It was interesting to note
some of the strange tastes of the
ladies of the club, and in many cases
the favorite poems were the poems
which had been learned in childhood,
and which had made an impression
that had been carried through life.
At the close of the discussion the
usual cup of tea was served, Mrs.
Clark Ho11ister and Mrs. George
Sutherland presiding at the tables.
The next meeting of the club will be
held on the afternoon of January 22nd
at which time Mrs. F. H. Lyman will
read a paper on the topic "Charles
First as a Man and as King"
