Long Probate Sale Bedevils Douthitt Estate
Judge Hazen orders a third sale of the Douthitt property for July 1 as probate court delays persist through district court appeals. The tract south of Thirteenth Street intersected by Topeka Avenue spans 80 acres with west 40 now subdivided into town lots. Competing judgments and liens, including a $12,000 Farrell tax judgment, fueled prolonged litigation. Heirs and bankers fought over mortgages, sales were set aside, and the probate court again orders a sale amid complex title disputes between Mrs Emily Dowthitt, heirs Louies West and Laura Hoot, and the Bank of Topeka. The case entwines prior sales, appraisals, and revived judgments across decades. A separate note mentions George Lauder’s around-the-world yacht voyage starting from New York.
