Tax Deeds Not Always Safe.

A State tax deed is not always
safe thing. according to Attor-
ney General Maynard. John Trelevan,
of Alger County. purchased from the
State certain lands on which the Onota
Charcoal Company had failed to pay the
taxes of 1887 and 1888 and commenced
action of ejectment, but the Court went
against him. Trelevan then asked the
Auditor General to return his money.
in accordance with the law of 1893. which
says: IF a sale made under this act
is set aside by any court the Auditor Gen
eral shall refund to the purchaser the
amount paid at the time of the sale, out
of the general fund of the State" Attor-
ney General Maynard declares the intent
is that the sale must be set aside in case
brought solely for that purpose. In Trel-
evans case the judgment does not refer
in terms to any particular origin of title.
1t simply finds the plaintiff not entitled
to right in the lands. No one can tell
from the judgment whether either party
relies on tax title, and a single judgment
in ejectment is not necessarily final for
any purpose. The Auditor General can
not refund any moneys upon the failure
of tax titles, except as some statute re-
quires it, Mr.. Maynard insists that a
judgment in ejectment does not set aside
tax sale. The opinion will control the
action of the Auditor General in a num-
Der of similar cases.

Rev. William K. Hinshaw Is guilty OF

after being out two hours and twenty
minutes.
Jan. 10 last William K HinshAw was
found on the road in front of his house In
Belleville, Hendricks County, with sew
enteen razor cuts on his person and two
pistol wounds. He said robbers had en-
tered the house and shot his wife He
had engaged in deadly encounter with
them and they had inflicted the wounds
before leaving. He directed those who
found him to hunt his wife, and she was
found unconscious with a bullet in her
head. She lived sixteen hours, but never
spoke. Hinshaw lay in bed for ten days
and was then well. His story was be-
lieved at first. then SUSPICION began to
grow that the burglar story was not rea-
sonable. In the snow on the ground his
tracks could be seen, but no tracks of q

wound in the head. Both sides had ex-

The case was argued FIVE days and one
half most exhaustively and the short
time the jury was out showed that the
jury determined every point as they went
along. The verdict meets public approval
When the defendant refused TO go on the
stand in his own behalf there was moth

that he was guilty, although hanged
jury was the most they expected out of
the trial. Hinshaw's attorneys will file
an application for new trial, which, if
granted, will result in a change of venue

NINE DIE IN A GALE.
Loss of Lives and Much Property by
the Recent Lake Storm.

the Recent Lake Storm.
Reports of damage and loss of life

Lake Superior. Only one Chicago fatal

schooner John Raber losing his life while

1t is thought eight lives were lost by
the laundering of the schooner Elma in

have been sacrificed, but there is still a

stage. Quesada, the secretary of the
revolutionary party, was on the floor,

of the evening went up for an excited

NO OPEN SUNDAY AT ATLANTA.
Resolution TO That Effect Tabled, 1t
Is ThoGght Permanently.

The preachers of Atlanta are still fight
ing the exposition on the question of sale
of liquor on the grounds. A meeting of
the Methodist Ministers Association was
held, and at that meeting the special com
mittee appointed week ago reported that
it had secured legal advice on the ques-
ton, and that the lawyers We're unani-
nous in their opinion that the right to
sell liquor did not belong to the exposition
people or to their concessioners legally. A
long discussion as to what the ministers
should do in view of their report followed
Some of them were in favor of enjoining
the exposition directors from allowing
liquor to be sold on the grounds, while
others favored bringing the matter to the
attention of the grand jury. The matter
finally took that course. A resolution was
adopted thanking the exposition directors
for keeping the grounds closed on Sunday
and expressing the hope that they will
continue to keep them closed.
At the meeting of the board of exposi-
ton directors action was taken which
apparently kills for all time the project to
open the exposition on Sundays. A reso-
luton providing for Sunday opening was
introduced by Director Cabaniss, but

to discourage crime in the district He
said, however, that the courts could not

TIMBER RUINED BY CYCLONE.
Millions of Feet Blown Down by
Wind in the Northern District.

A Marinette, Wis, dispatch says that
reports are coming in from the pine dis
tricts of terrible results from the late
cyclone which swept through the timbered
disticts north, prostrating vast tracts of
standing pine to an extent never before
experienced in this State. Millions and
millions feet of pine have been blown
down, and the result, it is believed, will
prove far more serious than that of the
terrible forest fires that have ragged over
the country. Cattle and horses were
killed, and men were obliged to flee from
their camps at night to escape being killed
by falling trees. Every new report shows
increased disaster. As this timber has to
be cut to preserve il from being killed by
worms the log cut of the coming winter
will be largely increased.
