Injunction Dissolved.

The Injunction restraining the county
treasurer from selling certain lands Own-
ed by Andrew Jackson. of Oshkosh, was
dissolved on the 22nd inst, by Judge
Bardeen at Wausau. The plaintiff was
represented by Hume. Oellerich 4 Jack
son, OF Oshkosh, while y. A. Colman
looked after the county's interests.
The cause of the trouble dates back for
about two years. At the time f. W.
Mcintyre was chairman of the town,
jackson Bros, OF Oshkosh presented to
the town board of equalization an
affidavit duly verified by one OF their m
spectors that fire had swept over their
lands situated in AZ, and 8, and dam
aged it to the extent OF forty per cent.
The board thereupon lowered the tax
about forty per cent. The next board,
OF which w. J. Reilly was chairman,
sent Finn Lawler to inspect said lands
and ascertain if fire had swept over
the tract and damaged it to the extent
that Jackson Bros claimed. Mr.. LAWYER
inspected the lands and reported that
fire and wind falls had not damaged the
tract five per cent; thereupon the board
raised the valuation of the proceeding
year, about forty per cents. This tax
Andrew Jackson, who owns a two-third
interest in the lands, refused to pay on
the ground that the tax was exorbltant
and excessive and took recourse to the
courts as above stated. The plaintiffs
complaint is lengthy document, pray
ing that the present tax be set aside and
that another assessment for the year
1895 be ordered.
All that remains for Mr.. jackson to do
now is to pay up the taxes and costs OF
Injunction as gracefully as possible.

Last week the county clerk issued
tax deeds to number of our citizens on
about three thousand five hundred acres
Of land, for the tax OF 1892 sale of 1893
This covers the certificates that remain
ed unsold and held by Oneida county,
and were subsequently,, at the creation
OF Villas county, assigned to our county.
The certificates held on lands in our
county that We're purchased in Oneida
county at the time of the sale Of 1893,
are held to be deedable by the county
clerk of Oneida county. Undoubtedly
the clerk in Oneida county has decided on
lands situated in this county, double the
amount Of land that was decided by our
clerk
