Disputc Between Town and County
SettIed--SOcIaI aud General.
WYTHEvILLE. VA, January 2.-Cspe-
ciaL)-Circuit Judge Robert c. Jackson
has rendered an opinion in the disputed
question OF the Board OF Supervisors
levying and collecting o tax for 1895 Of
20 cents on the 500 value OF property
upon the property-owners OF Wythey.lle.
and his opinion Is in favor Of the town.
The Board OF Supervisors made tho
levy in accordance with an act OF the
Legislature passed after the time for
the assessment Of 1895. so Judge Jacks on
he'd that the assessment OF 1856 was
illegal, and could not DO collected.
Some years ago the town seeded from
the county, and since that time has not
borne her Just proportion" OF the
countys burdens-cost OF juries, salaries
OF county officers keeping up the roads,
etc.--but the act OF the legislature re-
ferred 20 says that she must pay her
"just proportion" and 50 does Judgs
Jackson, from the present year OF 1881
Now, committees on tho part OF the
town and county have agreed that that
Gust proportion shall be one-seyenth OF
all the county's expenses. except for
schools, roads, ana paupers. which, IL
is estimated will be only about cents
on the SEQ value OF the property.
This question between the town and
county has been much vexed one. and
all are glad that II has at last been set
tied.

As VAS well understood al the time by

aud agreed upon last spring for North

for the express purpos. of enabling the
mine owners of Northern Illinois 10
compete with Central and Eastern illi-
nois and Indiana mines. and was based
upon the wages which were then In
effect In those districts. The scale of
wages formulated at the recent meeting
AT Springfield Is not consistent with the
basis of mining wages agreed Ia last
spring. Even II the present contracts
between the managers and miners oi
Northern Illinois were To he wiped out

been married during the summer, was
gathered In by the Indian police In
their search for school children. Her
husband and his friends set upon the
police and after a sharp nght took the
girl away from them. Agent Irwin
ordered the girl rearrestrd and also
ordered the arrest Of the rioters. but
his police were not able Ia execute the
order and for several weeks past the
agency has been the scene of constant
Iioting.
The Indian police have been set upon
and beaten up and disarmed. Every gill

determined that the girls shall go To
