NORTHERN PACIFIC TAXATION.
An Important Decision i'm Washington
Territory.
Wdlld Wdlld Union.

The Olympia Courier reports that Judge
Wingard has filed his opinion in the case sI
the Northern Pacific railroad company VS..
Davis I. Marsh, Sheriff Of Whitman county.
These cases were argued at Olympia after
the adjournment Of the Supreme Court, by
Hon. James Men taught, attorney for the rail.
road, and Hon. 5. G. VOORHEES,, attorney for
Whitman county. The question involved
was whether under its charter the railroad
company was liable for taxes assessed on Its
right Of way aud fixtures placed thereon.
Judge WiDgard holds that the right Of way,
roadbed, superstructure, depot buildings,
woodsheds, water tanks, ETC., are not assessa
BILE under Section 2 of the Northern Pacific
railroad company's charter. This will prob
ably settle this question In Washington Ter
ritory, there having been no decision on that
point since the advent of the Northern Pa
cifc railway into the Territory. 1t has been
the custom of assessors In the various coun-
ties where this road has been constructed, 20
assess everything that could In any way be
attributed to tie ownership Of the company,
but IN most cases compromises have been ef-
fected. In this connection 1t may be sppro
pirate to suggest that Judge Wingard has not
gone as far as the Supreme Court of North
Carolina In the case Of the Richmond and
Danyille railroad company VS.. Commission
ers II Alamance, reported In 1891. In that
case under charter like that Of the Northern
Pacific railroad company the court not only
held that the roadbed, superstructure and all
necessary buildings placed on the right Of
way were exempt from taxation, but also all
the machine shops, machinery and necessary
adjuncts, including tools thereon. This case
Is reported In volum" Z, American and En-
glish railroad cases, page $50.

Blackm siiino Senator Sharon

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S.--Ex-Senator
J William Sharon was arrested this afternoon
Oh a charge Of adultery, as he was leaving
for the East. The charge was preferred by
Miss Ageie Hill, well known in society. The
lady claims q contract of marriage was
drawn up and agreed to between them, that
in addition she loaned him SOC, 900, $4,000
Of which he had repaid her. She placed the
matter In the hands of man named w. M.
Nelson, Of unenviable reputation, with in
struct;ons to claim the balance of $4,000
said TO be due her, and at the same time
swore out writ charging Sharon with adul.
terry. II Is said that Sharon drew his check
for the amount and gave bonds for 5000 to
answer the charge. Miss Hill bases her
claims of marriage on the fact of an agree
ment of marriage that she states Is having
been entered into between Sharon and her
self, holding that In point Of law IL is equiv.
alent to marriage having been consumma-
ted. The affair Is openly pronounced q
miserable case of blsckmailing, kept back
until the last moment when Sharon was
leaving for the East.

THE MISSOULA COUNTY INDIANS.
THEY REFUSE TO MOVE, OR SELL, OR
ACCEPT IN sEvERALTY.
CHARLOs GETS VERY wRATHY.

MIssoULA, NJ. T., Sept. Ex-senator Vest
and Delegate Msginnis, Of the Indian Com
mission, returned here to day from St.
Mary's Mission, IN the Bitter Root valley.
At the Flathead Agency the Indians refused
either 10 sell any portion Of their reserva.
ton or move TO another reservation. They
said they had no grievances, were highly
pleased with their agent, Major Roman, aud
all they desired was 10 have whisky kept
from their young men. The Pen d'Oreilie
and Kootenai chiefs endorsed the above.
The st. Iguatius mission schools, on the
reservation, were visited by the commission.
The schools are we'll conducted by the sis
tiers of charity and priests. About fifty In.
dian girls and the same number of boys are
being educated and show remarkable prof.
cheney in the different classes. Senator
Vest spoke highly Of the teachers and pupils.
The council at ST. Mary's mission yester.
day was rather dramatic. Charles, the
Flsthead chief, with few hundred Indians,
has steadily refused TO 60 upon the reserva.
ton. The Indians cultivate few ranches,
but are steadily growing poorer, and the
valley is thickly settled with whites. The
whites want the Indians removed to the res.
ervatlon TO avoid anticipated trouble. In
the council Senator Vest and Delegate Ma
interpreter Vest explained his mission.
Charles, who Is q noted brave, with face
of wonderful strength and massiveness,
gazed defantly at ' est q moment and then
began reply 1--WE are only a few" he said (;
1--WE are poor and weak. You want to place
your foot upon our neck and grind our face
In the dust; but will not go, will 60 TO
the plains. The Nez Perez Chief Joseph
tried TO 90 to the plains"
Here Vest broke In, "There are no plains
now, white men are thick as leaves from
ocean TO ocean. II you don't get a title to
your lands here like the white men, soldiers
will come some day and place you on a res
ervation."
"My hands and those Of my people are
free from the white mans blood" said the
chief. "When the Neg Perces came here we
protected the whites. Why does the white
man take his heart from us now ?" Then
he took his hat, threw it upon the floor,
stamped upon it, and with blazing eyes gaz
ing on Vest he shouted: "You may take
Charles to the reservation, but there will
be no breath In his nostrils. Charles will
be dead; he will never 60 there alive"
Senator Vest stood up and answered the
tawny chieftain In language as emphatic as
his own that he must obey the white mans
laws as implicitly as did the white man.
If he did not, he must go where the govern
ment chose to send him. Before the council
broke up Charles agreed TO go to Washing.
ton with Agent Roman and talk the matter
over with the great father.
The Commission leave TO night for Helena
and the Blsckfoot agency, thence to Fort
Assinaboine TO meet the northern tribes.
