BANK WINS FIRST
Step IN WALLING.
FORD ESTATE CASE
Judge Purnell Sustalns Banks Demur-
rer and Refuses TO Remove Bank Of
Maysville as Executor of Mrs.
Kate Wallingford.

Tho Bank of Maysville won the first
step in the Mrs. Kate Wallingford
estate case In County Court Thursday
when County Judge Purnell, sustained
a demurrer of the defendant bank to
the plaintiffs petition for removal of
the bank as executor Of Mrs. Walling-
ford's will
Notice OF appeal to Circuit Court
was given by the plaintiffs.
Judge Purnells opinion in full fol-
lows:
This is a hearing upon demurrer to
the petition of plaintiffs, certain lega-
tees, asking the removal OF defendant,
Bank of Maysville, as executor Of the
estate OF Mrs. Kate Wallingford, do
ceased.
The removal is asked upon two prin-
cipal grounds:
First, that the interest OF the execu-
tor is antagonistic or adverse to that
of the plaintiffs and to the best inter
est VI lHS eSLdleI
Second, That the defendant was
guilty Of such manipulation of the
estate OF the testatrix before her de-
mise as amounts to fraud and now re-
fuses to sue for recovery OF certain
funds which plaintiff claim is due the
estate.
The law governing executors is
found in the Kentucky Statutes. sec
ton 3S46, which reads: "If personal
representative shall reside out OF the
state, or become insane, or become
otherwise incapable to discharge the
trust, or bankrupt or insolvent or in
failing circumstances the County
Court shall remove him" The statutes
of the various states, up on this ques-
tion are much broader than that of the
statute in this state, and gives to the
County Courts, or Probate Courts,
greater power, while our statute does
to a great degree limit the discretion
ary power Of the County Court.
On the first proposition, the Ken
lucky Court Of Appeals held in the
Reike's Admr vs.. Reike. 20S S. w. 764,
that the fact that an administrator
had interest antagonistic or adverse
to the interest OF the legatees, was not
ground for removal.
On the second proposition: Since the
delinquency complained OF, occurred,
II AZ all, during the life of the testatrix
and she appointed the defendant as her
executor, presumably with the knowl-
edge Of the manner in which 1t had
handled her property, and the will was
duly probated in this court, and is still
standing as probated II she were COM
petent to make a will, this court would
not be justified in disregarding her
express purpose. and the question of
competency is not involved and not
before this court in this proceeding.
As to the refusal or failure Of the
executor to prosecute suit for the
recovery OF any property which may
be due the estate the plaintiffs are not
without remedy, and the courts at
tention has not been called to any
Kentucky case holding this to be
ground 70 rthe removal of an executor.
The demurrer is therefore, sustain
ed with leave.

INJUNCTION IS
SOUGHT BY Lew.
lSBURG CITIZENS
sheriff and School Board EnjOlned
From Collecting Consolidated
School Tax This
Year,

Suit was brought in the Mason Cir
cult Court Thursday afternoon by
Messrs. Thomas S. Collins. Pat Conner,
Frank Peed, Alb Bramel and Earl New
ell. residents of the Lewisburg Con-
solidated School district against Sher-
IN c. NJ. Devore and the County Board
OF Education enjoining them from col
lecting the special thirty cent tax for
consolidated school purposes in that
district this year.
The plaintiffs set out that the Board
OF Education has certified the special
thirty cent levy In this district to the
sheriff for collection upon the assess
ment OF July /, 1921. and that by said
certification and the placing OF said
levy by defendant, the sheriff, upon
the tax duplicates OF plaintiffs and
other tax payers OF the Lewisburg
school district, said levy OF July 81.
1922, has been placed upon the tax
duplicate OF said taxpayers due July
/, 1922, upon the assessment OF July !,
1921.
Plaintiffs say that the certification
OF the tar levy by the Board OF Educa-
ton and the placing OF same upon the
tax duplicate has created cloud upon
the title TO their real estate. They set
out that the period when taxes must
be paid. II legal. without penalty ex-
pires November 80 and prior to the
sitting OF the next term OF Circuit
Court
They set out that It is impossible for
the Board OF Education TO consolidate
the schools in this district during this
term and that there is no building
available nor are children being trans
ported.
They pray for an injunction re-
straining the sheriff from collecting
the levy OF thirty cents on the assess
ment OF July /. 1921, and that the
Board OF Education be restrained from
any further certiflcation OF the levy
OF July I. 1929. or any other levy for
such purpose to be collected from the
assessment roll OF July 1. 1921.
Notice was served that a temporary
injunction will be sought by the plain
tifYs before Judge Newell on next Sat-
urday, November 1lth.

GAME PLENTIFUL
IN KENTUCKY, SAYS
OFFICIAL REPORT
Kentucky Fields Full Of Quail and
Rabbits Awaiting the Nimrods' In.
vasion When Law Is Out
Next Week.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 9.-Kentuclry
fields are stocked with game this wear
as never before in the last ten years.
according to reports to the Game and
Fish Commission from every section
This refers especially to Mexican Bob
White quail, whose number is esti-
mated at upward Of 100000.
The commission last spring import
ed $500, which were distributed
throughout the state. They we're put
in custody Of some reliable person
everywhere, and 1t least twenty-four
were set free in every county except
ing Boone, Bracken, Clay, Clinton,
Harlan, Hart, Knott, Knox, Lawrence.
Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Martin, Menifee,
Cwsley and RcDer son. Conditions re-
lating to theeir car or the hunting sit
uation, decided the commission against
sending any to these counties.
Last winter was open and the sur
vivors OF the 1921 season weathered It
and added their progeny to the 1922
supply. Spring ani summer conditions
we're equally favorable. As a conse-
quence, the quail weer unusually pro-
lific and successful in rearing their
broods. Scores of letters and state
ments from wardens indicated that
many, If not majority, of the females
reared two broods Of fifteen or twenty
hatchings eacn this summer.
The condition throughout the state
is the same. In this section quail can
be seen from the roads, and reports
from elsewhere are to the same erect.
The commission spent $4,000 this
year Importing birds. They cost So
the pair; but an import duty of 80
cents the bird has been imposed by the
Federal Government, and the birds
will cost dollar more the pair next
spring at the same price In Mexico.
Rabbits are so plentiful that West
ern Kentucky farmers have asked for
an open season on them, declaring
they have been destroying crops.
While complaints have come particu-
larly from that section wardens re-
port them morc than plentiful
throughout the state.
