A suit has been filed in the chan
cery court by l.. and E. Wertheimer
against Lou E. Owen and the Citizens

alleged to be due on notes made by
the defendant, L. E. Owen, to the
plaintiffs

the notes were given for goods, mer-
chandise, etc., furnished by plaintiffs,
and all of which have not been paid
Plaintiff further states that the Citl

were executed: that none of the notes
have been paid.
Plaintiff states that Lou E. Owen ID
insolvent and threatens to transfer
his interest in the insurance policies

Most Expensive Tree in World.

Probably the most expensive tree
in the world is in the city of London,
on the corner of Cheapside and Wood
street, about midway between the
Bank of England and St. Paul's. 1t
is an enormous oak and is said to be
100 years old. 1t is protected by
clause in the deed of the property
which forbids destruction of tree or
branches. Architects were compelled
to plan a rather peculiar building to
avoid the branches. There it stands
in the corner of one of the busiest
streets in London, occupying ground

the only tree in the city of London
