The annual inspection of Company D,
First regiment, took place last evening in
the armory. Every available seat on the
hoor and in the gallery, as well as the
Standing room, was occupied by friends of
lLe company, a good proportion being

si4 tv-iive officers and men, every man being

the number was reduced to eight fourS

numbsr of movements were given including
firing by rank. by file, and lying down

CHAUNCX VS.. WASS,
The Famous Tax-Ti:Ie Case Again
i'm the Supreme Court.

The Ia nous T'aX-TItfe Case Again
ian the supreme Court.
The reargument of the Chauncy-Wass
tax-title case was heard by the supreme
court yesterday, and decision will proba-
bly, be rendered at an early date. Senator
w. W. Billson did not appear for the re-
spondent, submitting the case on briefs.
John d. Howe, Gordon E. Cole and Homer
c. Eller of Clarke, Eller g. Howe, appeared
for the appellant, and. occupied both
sessions of the day with their arguments.
Judge Howe argued that the state wuold
not ana could not pass law that would take
away mans property unjustly and through
the delinquency of the state in making a
record of a judgment which he has been
faithful in making. No one will contend that
the state can take the property of one citizen
and invest another with the ownership. di-
rectly through its legislative or judicial de-
partments, yet it is here claimed that it may
do this indirectly through the machinery pro-
vided for the collection of its revenue When
tax has been paid, it has no authority O re-
celve from any one an equal amount q second
time and when citizen pays his tax
the tax is eXtiuguished, What the state cam
not do directly it ought not to do indirectly
by shift or device. If tax is paid it is ex-
tinguished and no mistake omission of an
officer OF the state can rehabilitate it. The
Judicial department of government cannot
levy taxes, anu d Tax ouIy paid IN the method
prescribed by law cannot be made the sub
ject of the jurisdiction of account, nor can
any legislative mandate be upheld when it
depriveS citizen of vested rights. When
Judgment for taxes is entered against the
owner Of property and he shows that the
taxes were paid before judgment was entered
he shows that the proceeding was void for
want of jurisdiction.
MORE ARGUMENT.
Hon. Gordon E. Cole argued that the
case centered around section 60 of the Laws
OF 1873 which is as follows:
On the first day of June of each wear the
county treasurer shall return to the county
auditor the several tax-lists in his hands
having compared the same with the duplicate
receipts on file in the auditors offices and
written opposite the amount of each tax so
receipted for the word paid" and the num-
Der of the treasurer's receipt given in dis
charge of such tax; and each tract or lot of
real property against which the taxes remain
unpaid shall be deemed delinquent, and there
upon penalty of 10 per cent, ETC.. shall
immediately attach.
He referred to the law Of 1874, which differs
from the law of 1878, in making the words
marked paid" essential, instead of actual
delinquency, as in the laws of 1878 he
dwelt on the question of delinquency. assert
ing that the court had no Jurisdiction over
land where the taxes were in fact paid The
clerk of the court had no power to enter
judgment against land where the taxes were
paid, whether marked SO or not and the
county auditor had no right to file in the
clerks Office taxes that were not delinouent
In the statutes the legislature had everywhere
emphasized the point of delinquency IF the

Gen. H. Fl. Sibley lectured last evening be-
fore the members of the Young Mems Chris
tian association, this being the last lecture of
the course. The lecture room was well filled
and Gen. Sibley entertaine his audience
with "reminiscences of Minnesota, beginning
upon his advent at Fort Smelling in 1884, as
an agent of the American Fur company,
where, upon the formation of the territory of
Iowa in 1888, he was made justice of the
peace, being thus the first judicial officer in
Minnesota. Gen. Sibley's discourse consisted
of q recital of incidents and occurrences
during the early years in the state and were
exceedingly interesting. He told of his
friendship with the young John c. Fremont,
an engineer, afterwards famous, and Count
Nicollet. He spoke of the extreme friendli-
ness OF the Indians in those early times, it
being absolutely safe to travel among them.
His "reminiscences also included accounts of
hunting trips made over large section of
country, and humorous illusions to the
methods OF living of the early settlers.

HAS NUMEROUS CLIENTS.
Mr.. G. A. Congdon Says He Buys for
Many People.

Mr.. @. A. Congdon was called upon BY a
reporter, and stated as a preliminary that
as a rule he refuses to be interviewed by
newspaper men on any subject, but that he
would state what he knows about tax-titles
and his connection with them, as otherwise
it might look as though .helwas afraid to
speak out. He was informed that yester-
day the county auditor had found several
blank applications for final deeds, signed
by Harry G. Heermans, and apparently all
ready to make out in sort OF wholesale
manner, and was asked by the reporter who
Mr.. Heermans was. In reply Mr.. COngdon
said:
Fl. G. Heermans resides in New York, and
is wealthy man, who deals largely in lands
in different parts of the country. am his
representative in this state, and I hold for
him number of certificates that are unfor-
feited. AS to his name being on certain I'M
filled blanks at the auditors office, 1 know
nothing about that, as l have not been there
to examine papers or books for q year. But
if the name of HI. G. Heermans is on any such
documents it is undoubtedly all proper and
straight. 1 represent two nonresident clients
who have thousands of dollars invested in St.
Paul real estate, and these are partly in tax
title deeds. I have also a.few tax-title deeds
of my own, and they are in West st. Paul. 1
Heermans in both taX-title deeds in others
both in this city and elsewhere. Three
weeks ago saw Mr.. Herman, and he gave
me check for number Of thousands of
dollars, which was honored, and heard from
him less than ten days ago. You may say he
is largely interested in st. Paul property and
is still investing.
A WHOLESALE SCHEME.
The applications for final deeds which
were yesterday found by the county aud
itor with the name of H. G. Heermans at
tached, read as follows:
I, of the county of --, and state of
, do hereby apply to purchase the
the above lands, and offer to pay therefor the
sum of s..
[Signed] HARRY c. HEERMANs.
Auditor O'Brien says it looks to him as if
wholesale job had been put up ogobble
tax-titles sometime. The blanks had not
been placed there since he came into the
Office.
In reply to question by the reporter as
to Mr.. Congdon's visiting the auditors
office just before Mr.. McCardy left it, and
endeavoring to purchase tax titles therefor
under the decision, and being refused per-
mission. that gentleman answered:
That is true. Whatever deeds ever got
under this business during Mr.. McCardy's
term had a clear title To- 1t is true made
application to purchase deeds under these
circumstances. but was not permitted to buy
by Mr.. McCardy. Whatever he says as to
that matter is correct. He refused to let me
have any unless had a clear title.''

connection with the tax title matter. Dean
was taken before that body, but they refused
TO hear him or entertain him in anyway what
ever. The reason given for this refusal is
that since the subpoena was issued matters
have assumed an entirely different shade, and
the jury concluded it did not want Deans
testimony. The sheriff stated last night that
as yet he had been given no warrant for him
and that he had no idea where he was.
