Correspondence Book, 1889
File — Box: 11, item: 13
Scope and Contents
Many pages bear a rubberstamp "Louis Huning, Successor to" which appears to have been placed to the left of the L.& H. Huning letterhead following Louis Huning's acquisition of brother Henry Huning's interest in the Mercantile and New Mexico ranch and real estate interests. Louis Huning's succession to L. & H. Huning became an issue three years later when a rustler stole one of Louis's steers. Apprehended, the rustler was charged in the arrest warrant with stealing a steer of Louis Huning but was acquitted as the steer bore a brand registered to L. & H. Huning, not Louis Huning as an individual. The case was ultimately appealed to the New Mexico Supreme Court where the lower courts acquittal was affirmed, Pacific Reporter (St. Paul: West Publishing Co., 1892), p. 904.
