ESTATES MUST SUPPORT
Court Orders Guardian TO Pay for Main.
tenance of Two lncOmpetentS at
Asylum

Judge Chloupek. in County Court
has handed down rulings in the cases
of Wilhelmina Pfeiffer and August
Kinder both of Two Rivers and both
mentally incompetent. The court
orders that the trustees or guardians
of the estate shall pay for the main
tenauce of the two at the county insane
asylum.
The trustees of the asylum made ap
plication, Dec. is, 1903, for an order
compelling the trustees or guardians of
the estates to pay a certain sum which
they calculated it had cost the asylum in
the past to keep the two. In the case
of Kinder this sum was $4i5. On this
point the conrt ruled that it had no
jurisdiction under the statute under
which application was made to compel
the guardians To pay any money for the
time prior to the application. An ap-
plication for such payment would have
to be made under some other statute
G. H. Dicke of Two Rivers is the guar
dian in both cases.
