these judgments Deputy Marshals Occhsh and Sid
dell have lust returned from the county seats OF these
counties and say that the three judges ofeach county an
nounce their determination to go to jail rather than
orev a tax on the people. There are two tudgmensS,
aggreCating 800 Ooo against St. Clair County, one In
favor of b. D. Stewart and the other in favor OF the
Ninth National Bank of New-York. The county owes
altogether 100000. When Deputy Marshal Oechsn
served the papers on the judges yesterday they told him
that they had been elected under promise to the people
never TO levy tax for the payment of these bonds,
and that they not only dsinclined TO order such
tax but were afraid to- They said, however, that they
wouId be found at home II order of the court was
served upon them.
The condition of affairs in Cass County Is even
graver Judgment was rendered some time ago
in favor Of Albert Parker capitalist OF san
Diego, CAL for about 100000. mandamus
ordering the levying Of tax was granted
by the court, and disregarded; and Marshal slddeIs

NURSE AGAINST A YOUNG WOMAN.
A strange story was told in petition, on wnlch
Judge Lawrence, in the Supreme Court. Chambers
yesterday granted writ of habeas corpus requiring
the production in court of John Laden, who lives al
No. 3s West Twenty ysecond-st. The writ was secured
by Noah b. sanborn, a lawyer. OF No. 90 Wallst.'

He accumulated large fortune, and retired from
business years ago. He stu has the Iotun7'
Magee, who is professional nurse, declares hat
Laden's daughter, Miss May Laden, has her father
imprisoned at his home, and does not allow him
to 60 out at AL.

for restraining her father that he is physically ana
mentally incapable Of caring for himself. MaSce 90

He is now seventy lone years old and infirm and
Maeee alleged that the servants often beat him and
treated him generally with great brutality lie charges
that the daughter knows of this ill-treatment and
sanctions it.
Mr.. sanborn refused to say anything about the
case than was contained in the petition for the writ
Tribune reporter called on Miss Laden last even
ing at her home. She had been much surprised by
the summons to appear in court next Monday, which
had been served on her by Magee early in the evening"
She said that Magees staments entirely without
foundation. He had been engaged to take care OF
her father whose health requires constant attendance
on last Tuesday, to take the place Of the regular
nurse who had gone home for few days. On Wednes-
day he refused to stay unless he were engaged Tor
the season. but to this Miss Laden was unwilling TO
accede. Magee then wished to leave the place ana
did so without any trouble.
DR.. Samuel s. Purple, Of No. SO West Twenty-second-
ST., who has been Mr. Laden's physician and nelghbor
for years. said that Mr.. Laden had for some months
been victim OF overinGugencc in drink when
brought on deqnena and rendered him almost helpless
at times. His illness OF course, required constant
watchfulness the part of his attendants and some
times strong efforts may have been necessary 10 Qmet

between Magee and Mr. Ladens regular nurse, whose

present unreasonable action on his part
