DECISION FOR GAGE COUNTY
Hornee A. Kelley I, linen IIIn 1,'uao ln

In Itriiti'lrr,
HKATHICE. Neb., Sept. 22. (Special.)
Judge Charles II. Lotion has handed down
Ills opinion hero last Monday In the case of
Horace A. Kclley agalnut Gago county,
Nebraska, Involving $10,000 and finds for
tho dtfT.dant. The treasurer of Oage
count' sold to A. Q, Hmith various lot In
llcatrlcc, for delinquent taxes and for spe
cial assessments levied by tho mayor and
city council. Tho purchaser. A. (1. Smith,
nsilgned tho tnx certificates to Horaco A.
Kellcy and Kcllcy afterward filed In tho
om.ee of tho county clerk of Clago county
statements of account, claiming against
(Ingo county certain sums of money paid
by him to tho treasurer of Ongo county for
tax sale certificates, nnd for subsequent
tuxes paid on tho lots on tho ground that
the taxes and apeclal ntscsfmicnts for im
provements, paid by plaintiff's assignor at
prlvnto tax sale, and subsequent taxes pMd
t,n tho tax sale certificates by plnlntllt and
his nsslgnor, were Illegal. In July, 18'W.
tho Lonrd of supervisors of Oage county
rejected these rlalms, nnd tho plaintiff at
onie brought suit In tho district court
After tho filing of tho claims with the
county clerk, u decroo was rendered by tho
court, giving plaintiff a lien upon tho real
iwtnle Involvod lu each cause of action for
nil of tho general, state, county nnd city
taxes set forth therein, and declaring the
ipcclnl nsscHsniontfl for Improvements to ue
Illegal, so that tho only sum tne piainim-
nought to recover was the amount of ' '
mayr
,ni rlrt. Tim monev the treasurer of
Once county received from plnlntlffH as-
slgnor on nccount of special assessments
for Improvementn wns nil paid over to tne
. r ihn ,.((., nf Ttnfltrlrn nnrt I
neither tlago county nor any of Its officers
has had at any time since tho piaintin
filed his claims, any moneys received on
nccount of such special assessments.
It Is contended In this caso bv tho defend
nnt, Ongo county, that tho rule of caveat
emptor applies, nnd thnt the plaintiff was
bound to take note of nil defects In tho pro
ceedings lending up to the tnx salo at
which he purchased, nnd tho defendant In
Ills brief concedes that In tho nbsenco of an
express stntuto to the contrary, the rulo of
caveat emptor nppllca to n purchaser nt a
tnx snle, and that tho liability of n county
to a tax purchaser on a void Balo Is not nt
common law. This being conceded, tho
slniplo question wns presented whether or
rot tho provisions of section 131, chapter
77, compiled statute?! of Nebraska, were
broad enough to entitle the plaintiff to tho
relief nought In this enso.
Judge Lotton says In his opinion: "It
has been earnestly urged and with great
force that under the holdings of tho su
premo court of Nohraska, n county insures
to a tax purchaser that he shall not lose
his money nnd many decisions havo been
cited to support this proposition. It Is
enough to say that In every enso cited tho
tax In question was not a special assess
ment for Improvements, but a goneral tax,
nnd of theso Impositions stand upon tho
same' footing, the plaintiff must prevail
while If the statute does not apply- to apo
dal assessments, he must fail In the action
Hence tho question is after all purely of
statutory construction. Tho precise ques
tlon presented in this case Is a new one In
this state, and so far as tho court has been
nble to ascertain by a careful examination
of the stnttues and decisions of other
snttcs, this Identical question has never
been presented to any court for Its de
clslon."

-Sovornl days ago a smooth Individual who
gave his name as Prof. Snow arrived In
Sioux Falls nnd at once made liberal use
of printer's Ink to announce the criming
of the "world greatest clairvoyant, psycho-
pnlmlst nnd healer." He has now disap
peared as quietly as he came nnd thero
are many who mourn his departure. Ho
raked In the dollars nt n rapid rate during
his stay In the city, but It would appear
from developments slnco his disappearance
that he was not satisfied with his usual
profession, but resorted to other methods of
obtaining quick wealth, He Is said to have
relieved n number of suscoptlblo citizens
of good-sized rolls of money.
Ono woman In particular who called, upon
the alleged professor for Information hus
reason to regret having done so. The pro
fcesor ascertained that his caller had a
considerable amount of money with her
1176 and asked that It be given to him for
a few momonts so that he could "magno
tlio" it. Tho money was handed to him.
It Is paid that ho ntepped Into nn adjoin

he informed tho woman contained the
money. She was Instructed to take the
money homo and "not to open the envelope
beforo Friday morning." She did as In
structed and upon opening the envelope dis
covered that It contained only n few news

In the meantlrao the professor and his

BOND ISSUE IS UNDER DISCUSSION
In Order to Tnkc AiHntitnuc of .Mr.
CnrncKle' Offer n Mite Mint lie Se
rtirrtl null Other Condition
Mutt He Met.
Somo months ngo the city council ac
cepted tho proposition of Andrew Cnrncglo
tor the erection 'of n public library here.
The formal acceptance of the gift Is nil
thnt has been dono ns no effort has beon
mado (o comply with any of the provisions
ot the gift. Members of the local llbrarv
bonrd are urging the council to submit a
bond proposition nt the fall election In
order that a site may bo secured. It Is
thought thnt $5,000 will purchase a desirable
site. Thero wns pomo talk nt ono tlmo
of trying to raise this amount by popular
subscription, but the Idea wns nbandonod
on account of the feeling In regard to
tho location of the building. Some neemed
to think thnt ns the postofflcu wns In the
old First wnrd the llbrnry should be built
south of N street. On account of tho differ
ence of opinion the popular subscription
plnn wns nbundoncd. Now what Is wanted
Is for the council to submit n proposition
to vote bond for the purchnse of n site In
order to get a stnrt. When the site Is so
cured It will bo nn easy matter for the cltv
to make nn appropriation of $5,000 n year
for the maintenance of tho library. Whojj
tho appropriation wns made out this year
$5,000 for a llbrnry was Included, but owing
to tho fact that no site had been secured
It wns deemed ndvlsnblo to postpono the
making of n levy for this purpose until
there was some show of a building being
erected.
It Is stated now that If bonds for a site
are submitted the proposition will carrv
although thero will of course bo nn In
teresting contest over tho locution of a
site.

aro fenrful now that tho promised exten
sion of the street car line down Missouri
nvcnuo will not ho made this fall. Tho re
laying of mils on Twenty-fourth strcot
has been delaed so much on nccount of
bad weather that at least a week more
vlll be required to lay tho hcivy rails
to N Btrcct.
As all of the old mils havo hcon hauled
to Omaha to bo sortetl out and there Is
no sign of supplies of nny kind being
brought hero It h thought that when tho
work on tho main lino Is completed the
force will be sent elsewhere and the Mis
souri avenue lino abandoned until spring.

Mnnagcrs of the packing plants say thnt
the meat business just now is active, and
that there Is n demand for all of the beef
slaughtered here. Thero Is an unusual
demnnd for native cnttle, but ns the re
ceipts nf this grade of stuff is light It Is
hard to meet tho demand, As to prices tho
packers nppenr to think that they will re
main about the same throughout the win

poultry. Shipments of prime beef to Eng
land continues and tho supply Is hardly
equal to tho demand.
