The adjourned September term of the district court adjourned sins die today. Several cases of considerable importance,, as they Involved titles to land In this county which In the last few years have become valuable, have been submitted to Judge Harrington and also Judge Westover, who presided dur ing a portion ot the term. Numerous de cisions have been cited on both sides of the controversies and from recedt decisions of the supreme court it will keep the trial Judges guessing what to do in tha various cases under advisement. ' The docket for the September term con tained 515 civil and no criminal cases. Most of the civil cases are where the county Is foreclosing for taxes due it on lsnd by non resident owners, or where parties bought the land at tax sale and brought an action to foreclose the same . as ttey would a mortgage. . - The late decision of, the supreme court In the case of Logan count'agalnst Carnahan is more discussed in western Nebraska than any decision ever handed down by that tribunal and should It stand as the law ot the state it will cause more litigation than any decision ever promulgated. This de cision undoubtedly involves the property rights of hundreds of citizens of Nebraska. After the supreme court decided in the case of Grant against Bartholomew that parties owning or buying tax sale certifi cates either at public or private sale, and also that a county had the right to fore close on land for delinquent taxes, thou sands of cases were Immediately brought In nearly every western county of the state. In one county west of Holt 275 cases were brought by the county attorney against the owners of land for delinquent taxes. It appeared that no taxes had been paid for several years, and the balance of the tax payers who resided In the county began to kick, and the county board Instructed the county attorney to bring an action against every piece of land where the tsxes had been delinquent for more than two years. It wss discovered that there were nearly 400 cases. Actions were commenced and In a few cases the taxes were paid up, but in the majority of cases the land waa sold for two-thirds ot Its appraised value, which in nearly all cases wss about the amount of taxes and costs, to parties re siding In the county and sheriffs' deeds is sued to them. In many cases these lands so sold have been transferred several times for four and five times what thty cost when they were bought from the county, owing to the great Increase In the value of land. Thus It will be seen tbst should the late decision of the court become the law of the state, which in a measure reverses the former decision it will cause no end of litigation. That portion of the latter decision which seems to be most criticised Is where It holds that a county or its agent must buy the land at tax sale before It can com mence an action to force the collection of Its tax lien. EXPLODES ONE SENSATION Nebraska, City's "Woman In Black" Simply a Woman Who Is Hnn Ibst Work. NEBRASKA CITY. Neb.. Dec. 81.
