MARE MAY LIVE TWO YEARS.
coart Decides That Animal l. En-

Court Decides That Animal Is En-
titled TO Reach Age of 81 Years.
Judge George L. Blum, in County
Court in Eau Claire, gave two more
years of life to the black mare, Flora.
the property of the late Conway B.
Daniels. of that city, who left leg
acy of $4,000 for the care and main
tenance of the horse, with the bal
ance, after the nags death, going to
the Presbyterian church. The court
decided that it would take $500 of the
legacy to keep the mare that long.
The strange problem arose during a
hearing to determine the inheritance
tax in the Daniels estate, valued at
100000. Legacies left churches in
Wisconsin are exempt from taxation
of any kind, hence that part of the
legacy left the horse which would. de-
volve to the church after the animals
death was not subject to an inherit
ance tax, but the amount that would
be needed for the care of the horse
was subject to such taxation. AS the
horse was still living and in good
health, although 80 years of age, it
was up to the court to determine the
probable length of time the mare had
yet to live. and from that compute the
amount of the legacy it would take to
care for the animal.

a few inches of being seven feet in
height, and in effecting self-destruction
he manipulated a large rifle as easily
as though it were revolver Through
out the progress of the dance Daehn,
who is only 20 years old and single,
seemed to be having a most enjoyable
time He danced with every girl of
his acquaintance who was present, and
no one of them is believed to have
been a contributory cause of his act.
About o'clock in the morning Daehn
left the hall and shortly afterwards
was found dead. His father died some
time ago and the son had been more
or less respondent ever since, accord
ing ito intimate friends. The dead man
was noted as being one of the tallest
men in Wisconsin. He net only meas
ured 6 feet s inches in his stockings,
but was proportionately heavy and

Because he had to close render

aged so, committed suicide in Racine

soap factory, saying: "Ail that have

into his brain. For fifteen years per-
sons residing near the plant have
made a determined fight to have it
removed, and after a church claimed
that services could no longer be held,
and their pastor had resigned because
of the stencil, the council ordered the
plant closed, and when it was not
done, Lichtenheld was arrested, but
the case was dismissed on Lichten-
