Both Must Wait For Crawford Estate Taxes
   Who shall collect taxes on the estate of the
late W. D. Crawford? This is what two county
commissioners, two county attorneys and several
other persons tried to determine yesterday. To
assist them Judge J. A. Burnette, of Caldwell,
member of the state tax commission, was also
on hand to act as referee.
         Two Counties Claim Money
   Sedgwick and Sumner Counties claim the right
to assess the Crawford estate, which amounts to
nearly $30,000 in cash. Although Mr. Crawford
lived in this county many years and was regarded
a resident of Wichita at the time of his death,
the Sumner County officials allege that he voted
in that county at the last general election, and
for that reason he was a resident of that county.
        Gathered Up The Evidence
   At the inquiry held today Sumner County was
represented by Judge W. T. McBride, county
attorney; R. T. Alexander, county assessor: Frank
Zook, county commissioner, and G. M. Kimball,
Mulvane. George McGill, county attorney: P. L.
Arnett, county assessor and the entire board of
county commissioners, represented this county.
Chester I. Long represented C. Q. Chandler,
administrator of the Crawford estate.
         Send it to Commission
   Evidence found at the conference yesterday
will be submitted to the state tax commissioners.
This board will hand down a decision in the
matter as soon as it meets.

Douglass Tribune (Douglass, KS) Fri Dec 12, 1913 pg 8
    Sedgwick County and Summner [sic] County are fighting
like tigers over a bone, in the matter of who is to
get the $500 inheirtance [sic] tax from the estate
of the late W. D. Crawford. Mrs. Crawford says that the
family home was in Mulvane at the time of his death.
Mr. Crawford admitted when he left here that he did
not know where he would locate but went to various
resorts for his health leaving their household effects
here. These Mrs. Crawford had moved to Wichita only
a few weeks ago.--Mulvane News
