SEEKING A LOST HEIR.
Sanford Harrison Is Wanted by Adj
miniStrator of Estate.

If Sanford Harrison, who came to
Kansas several years ago from Keiths-
burg, ILL.,, will write to G. A Hoyt,
vice president of the Citizens State
bank of Keithsburg, he will find that
he is heir to part of the estate of his
father, who died there recently. Just
at present Harrison cannot be located,
and the State Journal has been asked
to help in the work. Mr.. Hoyt is adj
ministrator of the estate.
Harrison came to Kansas a num-
Der of years ago, and is said to have
married here. Where he is located no
one knows, but Mr.. Hoyt would like
to find out. About six months ago
Harrison's father died, leaving a tidy
estate to which his son in Kansas is
entitled to a share. Now Mr.. Hoyt
would like to locate the son and pay
him what he is entitled to.
So if Sanford Harrison will com
nunicate with Keithsburg he proba-
bly, will find it decidedly to his advan-
tags.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS Of
INTEREST
Berkner Case Reversed Duties Of
Public Service Corporations
!. Defined. l!l

Two decisions were handed down by
the Supreme Court last Friday which
will be of interest to our readers. In
both cases the lower court was re-
versed. The one is,of local interest,
because the case was tried in this
county before Judge A. r. Pau, May
20. 1911. The other is quite far.reach-
ing in defining the duties public ser.
vice corporations owe to the public.
In the case mentioned the Supreme
court holds that . public service cor.
porstion must furnish service to any
one who asks for it, and who resides
within the limita of the service cor
poration, without discriminstion.
The case arose In St. Paul, where
William n. Mason was refused cleo.
trio light connections by the Con-
sumers Power company. Here it was
necessary to cross street to make
the connections. The company held
that Mason should make application
to the council for the privilege of
crossing the street.
The supreme court holds that pub
lie service corporation which has
accepted franchise from q city
authorizing it to operate therein is
bound. by the law TO make no un-
reasonable discrimination between
those to whom its service is furnished
or Is to be furnished and must not be
partial and must serve all alike who
are similarly circumstanced with
reference to its sy stem. Water, gas,
electric light, power and telephone
companies are classed by the supreme
court as public service corporations
In the Berkner case which went up
to the Supreme Court from this
county, the question whether . second
chattel mortgage properly filed run.
ming to q co.partnership with one OF
the co.partners as witness is con.
structive notice to the public was one
of the important issues in this case.
The Supreme court holds that it is and
reverses the lower court. The sylla-
bus of the case reads ss follows:
]. A chsttel mortgage running to
co-partners was Witnessed by one of
the co-partners, but the fact that the
witness was q co-partner did not
appear upon the face OF the mortgage.
AS so executed it was filed in the
proper Office. Held, following Bank |
vs.. Hare, As Mimi, 40, that since the
defect in the execution of the instru-
ment did not appear upon its face, the
record thereof was constructive notice |
to persons dealing with the mortgaged |
2. The sale of mortgseed personal
property at public auction under an
arrangement between the mortgagor
and mortgagee, though not as q fore
closure of the mortgage in accordance
with the statutes, but in good faith for
the purpose of raising funds to dis.
charge the mortgaged- debt, and with
out purpose to oefraud subsequent
mortgages, does not constitute q
waiver of the rights Of the mortgagee |
as against second mortgage of the |
same property.
3. The first mortgagee, ,purchas.
ers of the property at such sale, may
interpose the first mortgage in defense
to an action by the second mortgage,
IN which u wrongful sale of the prop.
erty IS charged.
