SUIT AGAINST CITY.
Illinois Life Asks Topeka for $4,000
for Taxes Paid In.

The city of Topeka is confronted
with a debt that was not provided for
in the budget and came as a thunder
bolt from a clear sky to the commits
sioners. The Illinois Life Insurance
company has demanded $4,000 from
the city and $1,000 from the school
board to pay for attorney ices. court
expenses and the payment of taxes
several years ago-a payment that has
been reversed in their favor by the
higher courts.
The life insurance company paid
several thousand dollars to the city
in taxes. They were paid under pro-
test. After years of squabbling the
courts have upheld the companys
case-and they are asking the city TO-.
a return of the taxes plus the costs of
the reversal in the courts
The city commissioners are willing
to pay back the taxes-but they re
fuse to pay any attention to the at
torney fees and case penditures de-
manded by the Illinois company.

WHO OWNS HORSE
Courts May Be Asked to Decide
Animals Home.
Meanwhile jenkins Says He'll
Sell It-PoIice Notes.

The ownership of a horse now held
by the police is being disputed and
there is a chance that it will necessary
for the courts to settle the argument
The horse originally belonged to "
Helms of 210 East Fifth street.
Mr. Helms claims that he sold the
horse on approval to Mr.. Gayhart, who
represented the Merchants Transfer
company. Mr.. Gayhart used the horse
on a transfer wagon several days and
finally concluded to accept it. He
paid Helms $50 for the animal.
A few days after accepting the horse,
it is contended that Mr.. Gayhart be-
come dissatisfied with the animal and
returned it to Mr.. Helms. Helms re-
fused to accept the animal and return
ed it to the Transfer company.
The horse was allowed to stand in
front of the barn. Mr.. Gayhart would
not care for it and Mr.. Helms main
tanned the same attitude. The police
finally took charge of the animal and
put it in a livery barn where 1t is
cared for at the expense of the city.
Neither of the men involved will ac-
cept the horse. Chief Jenkins an
nounces that he will auction the horse
and sell it to the highest bidder; but
before doing it, he must advertise the
sale and comply with other require
ment of the city ordinance. In the
meantime the horse is living in idleness

DON'T HAVE TO PAY.
Dana Holds ITawIey Heirs Exempt
From Inheritance Tax.

The heirs of Edwin Hawley the
New York multimillionaire who died
recently, and in whose estate was a
considerable value of stocks of rail-
roads operating in Kansas, will nos
be compelled to pay an inheritance
tax asked by the state. under a de-
cision of Judge A. W. Dana of the
first division of the district court this
morning.
Suit was brought by Attorney Gen
eral John S. Dawson for the state ask
ing to compel the payment of about
$4,000 by the Hawley heirs as an in
heritance tax. The defense pleaded
the reciprocal clause in the law
whereby citizens of New York, in
which state all the heirs lived, should
not be assessed to pay an inheritance
tax in Kansas when such d tax had
been paid in New York, provided that
New York extended a like courtesy
to the citizens of Kansas.
Judge Dana held that citizens OF
Kansas are exempt from paying an
inheritance tax in New York, thus
carrying out the reciprocal feature of
the law. Judgment was ordered for
the defendants, absolving them from
the payment of the tax asked
