MUST PAY THEIR TAXES.

An important Decision Rendered by the
Supreme Court of Dakota.
JAMESTOWN. OAK, Jan. "A case III
volving taxes to the amount of $5o0,0OO
claimed by counties in Dakota along the
line of the Northern Pacific railroad on
lands of the company, both in original
land grant and indemnity belt, has been
decided here in favor of the counties.
Tho railroad company has heretofore es-
capped taxation of the land for various
reasons, but has paid a percentage on the
roads gross earnings in the interior i'll
lieu thereof. Governor Church and
Auditor Ward took grounds some time
since that the company was legally liable
to pay the tax on the lands as well as
other real property owners, and by the
order of the auditor the assessors of the
counties were instructed to assess the
company's lands for taxation. The same
was done, and the company brought suits
against some thirty counties to restrain
the treasurcrs of the same from selling
the lands for the taxes demanded. The
dismissal of tho eases was made
on the ground that the company
had no cause of action. The
treasurers of Foster and Lawrence coun
ties were defendant in the case just de
cided. The company is given time to
amend the complaint. but the case will
probably go on the pleading as they %
stand.
