FINK MAY, SELL THE CATTLE
Jndgs BaiUf Drollnei to Enjoin th
v County Treasurer.
WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH LEGAL TAX
if
Hoist is Iajared His Remedy
Lies in Salt nt Un Against
th Bondsmen of the
Trenscrer,
Judge Baxter in the equity court de
livered his opinion in the case of J. M.
Holts against th State yesterday after
noon, wherein the plaintiff a eked for a re
straining order to prevent County Treas
urer Fink from seising a number of cattle
to satisfy a claim for taj.es. The decislm
was favorable to the county treasurer.
It wa the contention of tho plaintiff
that the cattle did not belong to him, but
that the real title In them wa vested In
Chicago parties who - hold a mortgage
against the animals. The claim wa set
up that the amount of this mortgag is
greater at this time than th value of th
cattle, ahd while In reality th cattle ar
held In tho name of Holt they really be
long to th Chicago men who hold the
mortgage. For this reason, the attorney
for the plaintiff argued. It would be unfair
to sell th cattle which belong to other
parties In order to satisfy a claim for
taxes sssessed against Holts. It was also
asserted by the attorney for tha plaintiff
that tha cattle are at th present Urn
on feed; that they ar only partially fat
tened, and that they would not bring on
the .South Omaha market, where Treas
urer Fink said It was his Intention to dis
pose of them, nearly their tru value, and
that consequently the owner would be
heavy losers through shrinkage and other
wise, to the extent of several thousands of
dollars tn case the stock was driven to
South Omaha snd sold.
Judge Baxter In rendering bis decision
aid In part:
The first and Darnmount question to de
cide Is, Whoe cattle are they? The legal
title In fact and in law lies In Holts. When
we nettle that fact to start with the path
way Is somewhat cleared. No matter if
damage ilwi result from the seizure of the
cattle. The law plainly states that the
court cannot Interfere In the collection of
taxes unless they have been Illegally levied
or assessed for some unauthorised purpone.
There Is no allesatlon In the petition in this
case Which states that these taxes nave
been so levied or assessed. The Question
it appears to me. to be decided Is, Is the
county treasurer pursuing the proper course
to legally collect these taxesr it ne la not.
tho plaintiff would plainly have a cause
of action against him upon his bond. This
artorus a remedy for relief. -
An tnlunctlon will not lie In this ca
according- to law. and therefore a court of
equity has no privilege to Interfere. I shall
nna ror me aerenoani, and no injunction
under the preaent petition will be Issued
from this court.
This leaves ths case In shape so that
an appeal may be asked, or suit may be
entered against th county treasurer upon
his bond. No nolle of appeal wa given
last night
INVESTIGATING LAND FRAUDS
Land Boomers Likely to Be In Hot
' Water within a Short
. , Time,' t v
Th .following article In the. Bloux City
Tribune shows conclusively what the Pierre
boomers aro doing, and It has become ,so
notorious that the government ha sent
inspectors to Pierre to Inquire Into these
conditions:. . -
Learning of. the land frauds that are bo-Ina-
nemetmted in the Pierre. 8. D.. dis
trict, the general land office at Washing
ton, D: C, has sent One of its shrewdlst
Inspectors and a special agent, wlw have
taken up their headquarters at Pierre, de
termined 'to 'put a stop to the Wholesale
grab ot the- putttlo domain. - - - ' - -Within
the next sixty days a great num
ber of entrymen who have filed upon lands
in the past- year, aa well as Some who hnve
proven up, are going to M in serious trou
ble and are likely . to lose their holdings.
For the general land office, aroused to the
situation, proposes to subjeot every entry
to the closest scrutiny.
While entrymen will be hauled over the
coals to some extent, ths Inspectors propose
to make it hot for some of the Pierre land
aaents. who are said to have misrepresented
the law to immigrants, or rather to specu
lators, wno nave oeen sending aunirny en
trymen into the country with a view of
ettina control of a sood part of the land
All this will be laid bare and within a short
time, the inspectors say.
Already a great amount of evidence on
this score has been obtained, and as tho
Inspectors propose to remain at Pierre this
stirinn. where thev can watch the nsrenta
and tha alleged settlers now being brought
there in droves. It appears that a general
slinking up Is due.
Most of the alleged frauds have been per.
petrated during the past year, or since the
capital question has been injected Into the
mlxuus for which Houtli Dakota Is famous
But the Inspectors believe that the cupidity
