cial referee.
1t will be remembered that before
his death John w. Murphey gave the
Kansas City University mortuary not
es against his estate for $4,000. After
his death his heirs contested the val
idity of the notes because If paid they
would take all except the Widows
share of the estate. 1t was taken into
court and decided in favor of the heirs
The University carried 1t to supreme
court and there new trial was grant
ed. However the matter was settled
outside of court by the heirs paying
tile University $500 Now it is the
duty of the treasurer of state to col
lect $125 and interest inheritance tax
for the amount, and since the Univer-
sity is not a resident of the state of
Iowa and therefore out of the juris.
diction of this state, an attempt will
be made to collect it from the heirs.
In the matter of the case of Sloan
aker VS.. Howerton the judge will give
a decision after hearing the referees
