The following is from the Hough-
ton correspondence of the Mining
Journal; Considerable important
matters received attention at the
Houghton circuit court Saturday te-
fore an adjournment was taken un-
til Tuesday, June II, Brobably the
most important is the hester tax
title case, which will likely find its
way to the supreme court Judge
Hare S decision is decided victory
for the NestcrS, as in the petition of
the estate to reopen the decree for
the sale of lands for taxes of 1852
the prayer was granted. The court
held that some of the taxes for
which these lands were sold were
void, and the petitioner
was allowed to show that fact. This
practically means the tax title in
this description OF land for 1892,
valued at about so. 900, is void. The
property was sought for by seven
dollar tax title shark from Lansing.
