SUIT INVOLVE WILL.
Beneficiary Wants Clear Title to
Property Under Its Provisions.

An interesting case, reminder of
an interesting will filed in the probate
court of Shawnee county few me- nths
ago appeared in the district court this
morning, its purpose being friendly
one of carrying out one of the prOvi-
sions of the last testament of Charles
Oehms. an eccentric Topekan who died
this summer at his home at It's Chest
nut street The suit was filed by Isaac
Moore, who lives near the corner of
Madison and Crane street. DIR. H. H.
Keith, administrator of the estate, and
several relatives of the late Mr..
Oehms are named as defendants. The
petition asks that the title to the prop
erty on which Moore lives be cleared
and that he be given a clean deed to it.
The attorney for Mr.. Moore ex-
planned the occasion of the suit, which
was not evident in the petition. The
Oehms estate included several pieces
of property in Topeka, several of the
tenants having been in continuous pos
session for long period of time. When
he died Mr.. Oehms declared that every
one of his tenants who had lived for
longer than three years continuously in
one of his houses should be given ac-
tual possession of the property by
deed Moore has lived in his present
home for about six years and there
fore is entitled to complete possession
under the Oehms will. His suit now
is to have confirmed his title in the
property bequeathed him by his for
mer landlord.

EXAMINING woMAN's SANITY.
Combination of Circumstances Makes
This Necessary.

In the probate court this afternoon
is being conducted the examination
of Mrs Minnie Kettering by lunacy
commission upon an application for
her admission to the state hospital for
the insane at Topeka. A rather pc
culiar combination of circumstances
make the present examination neces-
sary as she once before has been an
inmate of an institution of this sort
in this state, the Parsons asylum. and
she has not been regularly discharged
as cured.
At sometime after Mrs. Kettering s
former commitment to the Parsons
institution she was released by parole
and returned home to be looked after
nv her children She continued at
home by this arrangement until the
return Of her disorder made her care
difficult in the family and request
TO the state board of control for a
transfer to the Topeka asylum was
granted Her temporary improvement
at that time prevented her actually
being taken to the Topeka asylum and
after thirty days the authority of the
order lapsed. But she had been or
dered discharged from the Parsons
ASYLUM so that now she has no legal
right to admission to either without a
new examination.

READY TO HEAR MARTIN.
Preliminary for National Guard Cap
tain Set for Tomorrow.

-
The case filed at the request of the
attorney general of state against Cap
tain Guy r. Martin of Clay Center, an
officer in the Kansas National Guard
charging giving liquor to minor, is
set for preliminary hearing in the
court of Topeka, September 2. The
charge is based upon liquor drinking
said to have been done on the avia-
ton field in June, last, when National
Guardsmen did duty in handling the
crowds which gathered there.
Martin is charged as having actually
given whisky to minor boys, although
his own statement and that of others
fairly familiar with the circumstances
is that the liquor in question was sent
to the grounds as a present to the
boys who had done night and extra
service Martin is expected to be here
tomorrow to appear in court. There
is a possibility that postponement
may be taken as the court is rushed
with work.
