Stonebraker to appeal tax decision on Osage cattle
Howard M Stonebraker of Gutlule Oklahoma and Kansas City cattle interests will appeal to the US circuit court of appeals after Federal Judge Cotteral sustained Hunter Osage county treasurer demurrer and dismissed Stonebraker’s bill.

Stonebraker contends taxes for that year were paid in Texas before April and the cattle were moved briefly in Oklahoma en route to markets in Kansas City and Chicago.
