Stand and Deliver.

Another daring highway robbery was re-
ported at the city hall yesterday morning
and from recent similar occurrences it
would seem that the city is infested by as
dangerous gang of outlaws as have ever
presumed to operate within her bounda-
ries. The victim in the last instance
is Michael Lynch, brake
man on the Manitoba railroad.
While proceeding home Monday night, at
point on the railroad track near the
Westminster street bridge, two men step
ped out, and drawing their revolvers they
asked him if pay day had occurred lately,
and adding that if it had
he had better shell out.
The scoundrels then proceeded to search
him, securing $75, his months wages.
Having transacted their business the thugs
took French leave.
Yesterday morning shortly after 1
O'Clock man named Crawford was pro-
ceeding along Broadway, and when he
reached Ninth street, opposite the engine
house, he was beset by two men. who held
him up in true garroter's style and re-
lieved him of a gold watch and chain and a
little more than 81 in money. From the
description of the men the police are salts
fed that the work was done by the same
pair who perpetrated the highway robbery
on Sunday night.

Il HORSE WHIPPING AFF4TR.

A Prominent Dayton's Bluff Church Mem
Der Belabors Pedestrian With a Buggy
Whip--The Affair Kept Exceedingly
Quiet,
Some few residents of Lower Seventh
street were spectators of bona fide horse
whipping ARRAY Saturday evening about
7:30 o'clock. For some reason the few
who saw the transaction have kept very
quiet about it, and as the party who suf-
fered the castigation has not seen fit
to make any complaint against
his assailant, full details of the
sensational affair have not been obtaina-
BILE.
From the best information obtained,
however, it appears that the man who did
the horse-whipping act resides on Dayton's
bluff, in which community, it is said he is
prominent for interest in church work
AS the story goes he was driving home in
company with his wife on Saturday
evening as above, when he was no.
ticed to pull his horse to a
sudden stop, drop the reins, seize his
driving whip, jump from the buggy, and,
running up to man walking along on
the sidewalk, commenced belaboring him
with the whip, which he applied actively
and with vigor. At first the assailed broke
into rapid run, but his assailant followed
as rapidly, keeping up his strokes with
the whip as frequently as possible.
After running nearly square, the
assaulted turned upon his assailant, who
retreated for only short distance-more
likely to gather his mind-when he re-
newed the application of the whip. Again
the assaulted took to fight followed by
the irate wielder of the instrument of tor
ture.
The proceeding was kept up for nearly
two blocks, when the manipula-
tor of the whip withdrew to the
spot where he had left his wife, horse and
buggy, and jumping into the latter drove
off. During the progress of the fagella-
ton the assaulted made no outcry of any
kind so far as heard, while the only words
said by him of the whip that reached the
ears of the few on-lookers was Insult me
again, will you?" The names of the par
Elephants in the ARRAY would add
to the interest in this article,
and it is not improbable that the GLOBE
may yet be able to furnish the missing
link, even if the horsewhipper and the
horsewhipped should continue mum in the
matter. The principle of the old saying,
that murder will out" will most probably
be verified. 1t certainly will be "cold
day" for the reporters if the attempt to
keep the affair secret is successful.

self:
ST. PAUL, March 10, 1883.-Fon. W. w.
Braden, State Auditor. SIR:g Your favor
submitting statement of refundment made
by auditor of Wabashaw county on sale
declared void by Judgment of court and
asking my opinion "as to the reassessment
or levy of the taxes and advice as to section
of law, if any, which provides for such re-
levy, with manner of procedure" has been
duly considered.
No reassessment or relevy is necessary
under the law. Section II of the tax law,
(page 240, general statutes of 1879 as
anne dedby chapter 10, of general laws of
1873, provides that, in such a
case as that under consideration, the
tax included in the refundment shall stand
as originally extended against the prop
erty and with all accruing penalties, in
terests and costs be included with the taxes
thereon for the current gear in the NEXT
delinquent tax SALE" This plainly mega
tives any idea of reassessment of re-
levy. The sale being set aside, the origin
al tax, with all said penalties and costs
still remains lien upon the land, the
same as if the sale had been made. The
mode of procedure would, therefore, be to
place in the list of delinquent taxes oppo-
site the description of the land covered by
such refunded tax for the current year
and in separate column the amount of
such refunded tax, etc., and ask to take
judgment for the sum of these two items.
The sale on such judgment would, of
course, be for the amount of such judg
ment. Yours truly,
WI HAHN, Attorney General.
