District court was . short horse
and soon curried. II only took Mon
dny Of this week.
The principal case tried was the ap-
peal from the county court in the case
u w. L. Curtis VS.. A. e. Hyxer to de-
termine who should pay the taxes on
several hundred head Of cattle which
Curtis bot Of Hyzer when he took pos
session Of the ranch in the spring Of
1917. This is m interesting ease and
. debatable question, since. there il no
statute governing who hall pay tax-
e. on personal property when par-
chased in the spring. The law speei-
Aeally says that on real estate bot BE-
fore July first the purchaser shall pay
bat II after that date the original own
hands on April 18th. It was the con-
ney, E. n. Nourse, that the asseas-
ulent Of 1917 was as Of April LIT, .
stated on the tax schedule, and that
consequently Hyxer should pay the
taxes. However, Mr.. Hyzer and his
attorney, d. +. Sapp, alleged that ths
assessment was not completed until
tAe schedules are eempleted sometime
n August, therefore that no Hea
eould apply for taxes On April loth.
