Mr. Luebke was never married, according to the report received here and his parents have been dead for many years. A brother and two sisters are also dead but both have children living.

Advise Consul of Suit The German counsul at Chicago has been advised of the letter rceived from Germany and of the filing of a claim of $3,310 against the estate by Edward Kellner, of this city. Mr. Kellner's claim was filed following an inspection of the firm's books. According to a partnership agreement drawn up the amount of salary of each partner was specified and it appears from the records that Mr. Luebke drew various sums in addition to the amount agreed upon. Mr. Kellner seeks to recover half of that amount. In additon he seeks to recover approxiamtely half of the entire estate on the presumption that the accumulation was realized from profits taken from the business. The claim will be contested, it is said, and whether Mr. Kellner will be able to prove his contention remains to be seen. Further action in the matter awaits word from the consul at Chicago. Attorney Harry Kelley is handling the estate in his capacity as public administrator. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis.
