APPRAISAL AND
INHERITANCE TAX
Appraisers Went to the Coast
One After the
Other.

In the matter of the estate of Jus
Anthem Patty, a somewhat peculia
state of affairs is described by A 7
Brock in an affidavit filed in the Cir
cult Court yesterday. Brock say!
that himself, z. H. Wodehouse anC
w. f Sims were appointed . ap
praise the personal estate of the de.
cedent July II, 1905. Before the ap-
praisers could get together and ap-
praise the estate, Brock went to the
coast and didn't get back until Oc-
| tober 3. 1905. Meanwhile Wodehouse
| had gone to the coast and did not get
| back until November, 1905. Then
some of the heirs were out of the Ter
ritory. Then Sims went to the coast
| in November, 1906. Then John Mar
! callino was appointed in Sims place.
Meanwhile the personal property of
the deceased had been divided up
among the heirs and the appraisers
the property together again so it
could be appraised. Finally they ap-
praised it and made their report De-
cember q, 1906, but meanwhile the
eighteen months since their appoint
ment slipped away and terminated De-
cember II, 1906. The personal property
is described as consisting of jewelry,
furniture. sugar stocks. etc.
The matter is of Importance because
of the inheritance tax which must be
paid.

one and a former executor of the will
proved insolvent and legal proceed

but some interesting questions are
raised in the report.
