| portant decision on the 30th in the IN
| junction suit of the Chicago and North
| Western Company VS.. Langlade Coun-
| ty. The act of 1881, which establishes
| the boundary line as at present by TAX
| ing two townships from Shawano Coun-
! ty and adding on SIX others to Lang
| lade, was contested as unconstitutional
by the Chicago and North Western
| Road, which owns considerable land
within the tract detached from the one
| county and added to the other, in the
| collection of the taxes levied by the
! county. Their refusal to pay, on the
| ground of unconstitutionality In the
measure of 1881, resulted In the seizure
of the lands, to be sold for taxes, and
! the matter was carried to the supreme
court on an injunction restraining
Langlade County from disposing ofthe
| lands. The court has held that the act
| of 1882 was constitutional. The suit
involves some so, 900 directly, and con-
! siderably more indirectly. Mr.. Naber's
! bill 70 re-establish the old boundary
lines will now be fought more vigorous
