$ We are in receipt of a telegram from
Tflden R. Selmes,. stating that lie has
1 procured, an injunction on the treas
4 uTer Of Stark county preventing him
from collecting taxes of Billings Co.. By
this time tile injunction has been served
on the. treasurer by the sheriff. This
z will make a stay Of proceedings until
the constitutionality of tile law can be
J properly decided.
We received last evening copy of the
Injunction, issued through Attorney
Selmes by Judge Francis. It restraints
ejtreasurer of Stark county from ever
collecting taxes from Billings county,
provided the charges made are proved.
It might be we'll to state that there are
several new charges made and if they
are proved it will render the assessment
mil and void, whether the law authoriz-
ing it is constitutional or not. Mr..
Selmes will be in Medora in q few days.

such sound arguments were advanced

The prisoners were brought across the

were sent to Mandan for trial. They
\ will be sent up for as long time as the

resented on it. This contest is some
thing in which every taxpayer is inter.
ested and the only fair thing is for each
taxpayer I'd pay his share of the expen-
ses. The pro rata to be fixed by the:
amount assessed against each nx-payer.
This will make the share of each insig-.
nifcant This being matter Of such
I public concern, no enc should depend
on his neighbors paying his share.
