Judge Slosson Hands Down De-
cisiGS in Regard to Big Claims
Against the Cooper Estate
FIND INTERESTING POINTS
City Button Company and Lyman D.
Brown Failed to Collect Large
Sums From the Estate of a
Former Kenosha Man


| ing handed down decision IN the
claims Of the City Button company
and Lyman D. Brown, of New York,
against the estate of the late Willis
W. Cooper, by which the claims
amounting to more than four thous-
and dollars were disallowed. The de-
cision is one of the most important
/ ever handed down in the Kenosha
county court.
For the better part of year the
fight for the collection of the claims
has occupied the attention of the
court and the Judgment was only
rendered after a large number OF
authorities Lad been examined and
| Judge S1osson seems to be certain
that if an appeal is taken to the high
er courts his decision will be upheld.
It is not known what effect the de-
cision will have on other large claims
| which were expected to be filed
against the estate.
The claims arose over guarantees
| that had been made by the late w. w.
! Cooper Of debts against the Black
Cat Garter company. This company
went into bankruptcy short time
I after the death of Mr.. Cooper and the
creditors of the company at once be-
gan to flood the county court here
with claims against the estate. Mr..
Cooper had been interested in the
| company and he had guaranteed IN a
way the payment of certain claims
against the company. Two OF the
claims we're those of the City Button
company for S2254.O5 and Lyman u.
Brown for $18O1 O4. The contract for
these guarantees was a letter from
Mr.. Cooper to the New York COM
| panies in which he agreed to
make good to each company to
the amount of $4,000 the debts of
the Black Cat Garter company. Both
companies filed their claims i'm
mediate1y after the Black Cat Garter
Company went into bankruptcy.
In making his decision the court
held that while the contracts were
made in New York the allowance or
disal1owance of the claims must be in
accordance with the law as expressed
| in the Wisconsin statutes. He held
| that under the law of this state there
must be a specific consideration for
the guaranty, and that this was not
found in the letter of Mr.. Cooper.
| He went further in that he showed
that while Mr.. Cooper might have
benefited from the business of the
Black Cat Garter company there was
nothing to show that he received any
direct benefits from the guaranty
made. The claims have been hard
fought, and it is probable that the
claimants will insist on laying the
matter before the circuit court for a
review of the decision Of Judge Slos-
son.
| The Cooper estate will be settled
within few days if there is no APP
peal in the case. The estate has been
the most com plicated ever proposed
for probate in the county court here,
and the business of the estate which
covered investments in many states,
has been wound up IN record break
ing time. 1t is less than two years
since the will of Mr.. Cooper was filed
for probate. By the settlement of the
estate nearly all of the property Of the
deceased has been awarded to his
widow and his daughter.

THROUGH CARS SOON
Cars to Run From Kenosha to Evanston
Within Ten Days

According to stories from Wauke-
gan, through cars will be running
from Kenosha to Evanston within
the next ten days, over the lines Of

line.
It is stated that the opening of this

sha and Waukegan, and the running
time to Evanston, will also be greatly

Another Attempt to Involve Foreign
Powers at st. Petersburg.


Another revolutionary attempt to involve
foreign powers In the Russian crisis was
made Thursday at St. Petersburg. 1t was
conceived on the same lines as an at
tempt at Warsaw, where bogus Russian
officers in uniform assaulted the German
consular agent. This compelled the gov
ernor to offer his personal regrets for the
occurrence, and in doing so he had to go
to the consurs house. He had to traverse
certain streets to do this, and while on
his way was assaulted by revolutiOnaries,

rested.
