The trouble which has long been
brewing over the Nelson and Hood

from levying for unpaid ditch taxes on
any property Of L. S. Bowman, a w.
Wright, Frank Gilkins, Jr., Frank
Gilkins, ST., Loren ID. Forest and b. 5.
Webb, the compliments, and Frank
Munson from returning to the Auditor
General the lands of the compliments
upon which there may be unpajf. ditch
taxes. AS treasurer Mccullough says
the taxes are paid on the land in ques-
ton he fails to see how the injunction
can do very much restraining.
Some weeks ago Benjamin Bailey of
Seville sued Frank Wells of the same
township over matter connected with
a trade in farms and thereby hangs
much other trouble. The court gave
Bailey a judgement and later an execu-
tiOn was issued upon which Bailey got
a colt from Wells. Wells wife swore
out writ Of repleven before River
dale justice which was given to Deputy
Sheriff Houck. The deputy, accom-
panied by Wells came down to Alma
last Monday to look for the colt and
left their team in the Mercantile Co. s
sheds while on their search for the colt
In the mean time, one John GIMME,
of Seville township, who had lost
horse blanket SHORT time ago dis
covered it on the back of one of Wells
horses and finding Wells and Houck
accused the former of stealing it. This
Wells denied and after some hot words
drew knife on GIMME. At that
threatened to have him arrest
ed. Wells agreed to settle but couldn't
raise the five dollars which was asked !
At last Houck, rather than see his man
taken into custody gave him the money
and they went home without the colt. !
Nearly thirty ladies met at the home

old coins, ETC., valuable either iutrin
sicaly or by association, formed a
unique and instructive entertainment
The program began with an original
poem By Mrs. Carey. which elected |
much applause. After this Mrs. Church
