Decisions by Judge Cox.

Judge Cox has just filedr decision III
tax case tried at the January term for
this county which is of some interest to
old residents. The defense set up against
the tax was, that the old town of Red
wood Falls was never legally organized.
and hence that the assessor of said old
town who assessed the land was with
out authority to do SO. The Judge
holds, that in a tax case the court could
not consider the validity of the organiza-
ton of the old town of Redwood Falls.
and hence sustains the tax. The case
may 20 to the Supreme Court, Alfred
Wallin for the county; J. Wilson Paxton
for defendant.
In the case of John Garner against j.
C. Duncan. for possession of the school
records of School District No. 8. IN Red.
wood county. the Judge has filed decis'
ion holding that the right to the posses
sion of the records is in Duncan, and that
either the books or their value must be
returned to him. Alfred Wall:n for Dun
can; H. d. Baldwin for Garner.

Shall we Prospect for Coal !?


On Saturday last. several citizens of
this place went to the farm of J. j. Coyle,
about four miles distant and on the bluffs
of the Minnesota river, to examine vein
of coal discovered by one of the party
some years ago. Owing to the snow and
II rather difficult mining, but finally sue
ceeded in obtaining as large quantity
of specimens as they could conveniently
bring home. The, vein which they ex-
amined was about seventy-five feet below
the to-, of the bluff. and was about four
inches thick where it cropped out. The
roof over it was sandstone. with fire-clay
below. Above this vein were found two
| thinner layers of coal.
The samples brought in were smooth
! and glossy. something like camel coal.
but much browner in color. In order to
test its value for fuel. some OF it was
taken to blacksmith's forge and burned.
While not burning quite us readily rs or
dinary soft coal. it appealed to give out
more heat. and nothing was left of it but
rather whitish ashes. The test was quite
satisfactory to those who witnessed it.
A correspondent of the Gazette, this
week, describes the difference between
Ignite and other varieties of coal. The
coal found cropping out in various local.
tiles near this place is undoubtedly the
former. The only wav to ascertain
whether it is to be found in sufficien,
quantity to be of any great value is by
boring. Some weeks ago about three
hundred dollars were subscribed FOR ths
purpose, and that was the end of it fol
!, the time. Are our citizens willing to le
the matter drop. or will they make an ef
j, fort to solve the problem?

A CLOSE CALL.
A Farmer Shot by His Son.in. Law.

1
On Tuesday last. Sebastian Wandron,
farmer living about two miles east OF
this village, came near being the victim
in shooting affray of which it seems he
was the instigator. The circumstances,
as related by both parties, are about 10
follows:
For some time an unpleasantness has
existed between Wandrcn and a son-in-
law who resides in town named Frank
Bittson, and whom the former had for
hidden to come about his premises. On
Thursday afternoon Geo. Wilson, another
son in-law. had occasion to cross the
premises of Wandron to get a load of
straw from the farm of another party,
and procured the services of Frauk Bitt-
son to assist him. Wandron, seeing the
parties cross his premises with the team,
went to the house for his shot. gun, and
finding he was out of ammunition, i'm
mediately proceeded to Mr.. Tice's-a
neighbor-and obtained the same, ut the
same time telling Tice for what purpose
he wanted it. After Wandron's depart
ure Tice went in search of Bittson, and
informed him that Wandron had threat.
ened to shoot him for coming on his
premises. and was prepared to execute
his threat. Bittson Immediately proceed
ed to another neighbors house and bor-
rowed rifle. with the intention. az he
states. of defending himself in case of at
tack. After the wagon was loaded with
straw. both parties mounted the load, and
Mr.. Wilson. the owner and driver Of the
team. started to drive back across the
land of Wandron on their way home.
Wsndron stood on the line of his land,
and when the team came within three or
four rods Of where he stood be raised and
cooked his gun and took aim at Bittson,
at the sane time addressing Bittson in
opprobrious language. At this point, the
of Wandron and Wilson diff
fer Wandron states that his purpose was
merely to frighten and bluff Brittson,
and prevent his crossing the land, and
that he had no intention of shooting him.
but seeing Bittson was armed, he took
down his gun and told him to shoot.
and that Bittson then shot him. Wilson
states. however, that Wondron did not
take down his gun. but that Bittson was
too quick for him. and fired. The wound
inflicted was in the left side, over the
heart, but fortunately the bullet, after
entering the flesh. glanced outward, and
the injury inflicted was not dangerous.
1t was close call. however. As yet, Mr.. |
Wandron has entered no formal com.
plaint.
