QUESTION OF LAND LIENS

This Is to Be Tested in Suit Before
Supreme Court
w. D. Kuhn has fled an appeal in the
supreme court from the decision Of the
lower court in the case which he brought
against the National bank of Holton and
z. S. Bateman, sheriff of Jackson county.
It seems that Kuhn bought a farm
from James S. Walton. After he was IN
possession, it developed that the Ma
tional bank of Holton had two judy
ments against Walton, and they claimed
that these judgments constituted lien
on the land which Walton had sold.
They put the matter into the hands OF
the sheriff to sell the farm, and sum
brought suit for injunction to stop the
sale. ,..
