commodation train, on the shelbyville
branch road, burst its boiler on Friday.
Nobody, however, was hurt. From what
we know Of the road and the engine,

and dollars of the tax on this county had
been collected, which yet remains in the

The county court has ordered this money
to be refunded TO the people by accred-

have to produce his receipt from the tax
collector for the money paid, or if that is
ost, furnish acceptable evidence that he
paid tax for the year ls64-the year in
which this money was collected.
