APPEAL OF THE TAX CASES.
Senator Tawney Serves Notice that they
Will be Taken into the q. s. Supreme
F@ Court.

Notice was served on Messrs. Lind &
Hagberg this week chat the celebrated
tax cases in which Brown and Redwood
counties are particularly interested, had
ceen appealed to the highest court in
the land. From the notice.. it appears
that the appeal is taken on the grounds
that certain act of legislation, under
which the supreme court twice rendered
decision against the Wirona & ST..
Peter Land Company, is unconstitution-
al. The date set for arguments in the
case is July 29th at Washington. Mr..
Lind is very confident that the decisions
will not be reversed. =
Brown county is especially interested
in the outcome, as it was from these
decisions of the state supreme court
that judgments were entered IN favor
of the county to the extent of 1900.
These were paid under protest, but the
money has already been turned into the
town and school district treasures.
