SKINNER V. JENNINGS.

Bill in Equity to Have Sale Declared
 General Assignment.-Appeal from the
 Chancery Court of Barbour.
 1. Fraudulent conveyance; sale of ex- empt property can not be impeached as fraudulent-The sale or other disposition of property which is by law exempt from the payment of taxes, can not be im- peached by creditors as fraudulent, and hence, where the debtor whose personal property Is of less value than $1, 900, makes a sale of all of it, the sale can not be impeached for fraud. although it was made to his wife, and even though it was made for the purpose of hindering, delaying and defrauding his creditors
 2 Exemption of personal property; when no selection required.-If a person has personal property which does not exs ceed in value $l 900, a selection of the property is unnecessary. since the law, without the doing of any act on his part, intervenes and attaches the right of ex- emption as absolutely and internationally as if the particular property was spe- cially designated and declared exempt

JACKSON V. THE STATE.

 Indictment for larceny-Appeal from the
 City Court of Montgomery.
 l. Larceny; sufficiency of evidence.-On trial under an indictment which charges the defendant with the larceny of a COW. the fact that some time after the cap- ton of the COW the defendant entertain ed the belief that the cow belonged to him, does not authorize an acouittal of the larceny charges; since the defendant may have been guilty of feIonionsly talk Ing and carrying away the property of another, and subsequently, to such cap- tion have come to the conclusion that it was his own property
 2. Same; fact of taking in presence of others does not remove felonious intent The fact that property alleged to have been stolen. was taken by the defendant and carried away in the presence of others. does not. of itself. justify an &C., quital under an indictment for the larceny of such property.

REALTY EXCHANGE MEETING
w. G.. IRE Throws some LiEht on Pro-
cecdinGs of state Equaliaa-
ton BAnrd.

j. +. Hanson OF Fremont, secretary Of
the state Real estate Mems association.
and w. G. Ure, who was one OF the men
who presented the argument for higher
railroad assessment to the State Board OF
Equalization, addressed the Real Estate ex-
change yesterday.
Secretary Hanson outlined briefly the
work accomplished at the last legislature.
He said that most Of the plans outlined at
the Omaha convention last winter were
being followed out with vigor, but that the
state dealers were difacult to interest ex-
little or no disposition toward joint adver-
tising. '-
Mr.. TIRE explained some details Of the
arguments presented TO the state board.
saying that he felt the board had not acted
fairly nor proposed to in the beginning.
They didn't try nor want to do the right
thing, in my opinion he said. "The fact
that Governor Mickey had some biooded
cattle assessed at $3.50 q head seemed to
have more weight with him than the In
crease per mile of t771 in Union Pacific net
earnings. 1t was useless to explain to him
that he was only one axpayer out of
many and that other cattle were assessed
higher. We tried to make the board see
that business tracks to various industries
were not sidetracks, but It was Of no use.
The fight is not over, however, and at least
we prevented a net decrease in railroad as
sessments." .

on Rentals" was unable to be present.
