FIGHTING BREWERY SALOONS.
Receivers Appointed in Kansas Make
Reports.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 3O.-The three re-
cevers appointed by the state supreme
court last week to take charge of the prop
erty in Kansas of eight outside brewing
companies and of a real estate concern OPP
Grated by one liquor firm made its report to
the court here yesterday.
The report shows that the receivers have
taken possession of nine buildings at At
Gibson and five at Leavenworth. They are
also in possession of large assortment OF
bars, fixtures and mirrors. Not much
liquor has been taken. Most of the places
where seizures were made have been sa-
looms and the liquor was claimed by other
than the brewing companies.
The receivers believe that the brewing
companies will take some action to protect
their property now that the formal report
of the seizures has been filed.
The brewery attorneys say they are walt
ing for definite authority on how to pro-
coed. Next Thursday a motion to appoint
a receiver IN Kansas for the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Company will be argued IN
the supreme court. The company was the
only one of the foreign concerns to night
the move for receiverships and 1t was not
included in the limit Of companies FOR
which receivers were named.

LETTER CLEARS ESTES.
Miss Loving Said to Have Written
Missive to a Girl Friend.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, April 30
Little by little important facts in the Low
Estes case are leaking out The most
recent disclosure comes through an indis-
Greet letter written by Miss Elizabeth Low
ing to a girl friend in this county last
week The letter, 1t Is said, declares the
writer's anna cement at her fathers act and
fully exonerates Theodore Estes.
Miss Loving, it is said, defends the mem
DRY of the victim to the extent of testifylng
that he always treated her with courtesy
and consideration. 1t was because of
real or fancied wrong to his daughter that
Judge Loving shot and killed young Estes.
Since the tragedy Judge Loving and his
family have lived in seclusion and no
statement from them or about them has
reached the outside world until this letter
which, IL authentic, dscloses the extreme
unhappiness of the entire family circle. 1t
is alleged that Miss Loving used the word
crazed" as descriptive of their mental
and nervous condition.
1t is alleged by some persons In Nelson
county that Judge Loving always opposed
social relations between his family and that
of Sheriff Estes. and that the mere fact OF
his daughters having gone for a drive
with Theodore Estes was sufficient to excite
him greatly. Judge Loving Is not noted for
an even temper and 1t is said that his
daughter was the only person who could
manage him during his gusts Of passion.
A Nelson county man familiar with all
the social and political currents there has
expressed the belief that II would be impos-
sible to try the case at Livingston. Feel
ing Is said to be running high in that county
and to be aggravated by family and politi-
cal antipathies. The case may be removed
to Charlottesville.
