Ownership of Property Somewhat of a Mystery.

_ Some time ago John D. Moore, son of B. J. Moore, recovered Judgment against the Indiana Northvveste. ri Traction company for services and an execution was issued. The sheriff attempted to levy on property supposed to belong to the defendant, which was stored in the Nowels hotel. Warren Robinson refused to permit the sheriff to levy upon the property.

The plaintiff then filed his complaint against the defendant and Warren Robinson. and .the cause was heard before Judge Hanley on Jan. 4th and the testimony showed that the room in the hotel building had been rented to H. J. Wilson, who was the engineer of the company, and that the typewriter and some of the surveying instruments were marked with the Initials of H. J. Wilson. The court intimated that the surveying instruments, clothing, books and typewriter probably belonged to Mr. Wilson, but that the adding machine, office furniture and fixtures probably belonged to the company. it is altogether likely that the court will order the*l«tter property sold to satisfy the judgment. There are said to be judgments aggiegating several hundred' dollars against Wilson and the balance oi the property may be taken to satisfy such judgments. Moses Leopold appeared for the plaintiff and Chapman and Blue for the defendant Robinson. To whom the property really belongs is- even doubtful after the hearing, as there was of course no positive evidence of ownership.
