Whether or not an educational insti-
tuition in Wisconsin can be taxed on
property it owns, but which is not &C
tually used for educational purposes, is
a question that the Supreme Court will
be asked to decide The Outagamie
county board refused to allow the
claim of Lawrence University for 1892
for illegal taxes, and a member of the
board of trustees of the local insti-

of property in Appleton, which are not
used for educational purposes. From
two pieces the college receives revenue

kenOsha Man Charged with Throw

An unusual murder" case developed
in Kenosha when James Lewis was ar
raigned in the Municipal Court on =
charge of having wilfully and felo-
neously killed a cat. 1t was alleged
in the complaint that Lewis had
thrown the cat into a furnace, where
il was burned to death. Lewis at first
admitted this, but later declared that
he hit the cat over the head with the
shovel and threw the body into the fur
mace. The proprietor of the hotel fish
ed the bones of the cat out of the fur
mace and they have been turned over
to the district attorney to constitute
the corpus deficit. Lewis waived a
preliminary hearing and was held for
trial. Unable to furnish bond, he was
returned to the county jail. The ex-
IRENE penalty is $1,000 fine or two
years in prison.
