Shell Lake, Wis. Sept. 4.-[Special. i
The decision of Circuit Judge Vinje in
fifth, about the ownership to certain lands
in this county which Johnson claims to
have purchased from the railroad com
pany and Mr.. Griffith by virtue of tax
deeds and payment of taxes, is of interest
to all those who have purchased the tax
certificates of this county. The validity
of Griffith's tax deeds were attacked on
the ground that the county seal was not
as provided by the statute and many 9th
er discrepancies in the issuing of the tax
deeds. with the result that Judge Einje
declared them void.
This decision seemingly invalidates
every tax title issued in the county for
years.
