the widow fling separate action to be
formally declared the legal relict Of
the deceased. The probate court has
already rendered qualified decisit n
in her favor. The case promises to Re
a cause clebre and from the eminencs
of the lawyers engaged it is probable

Is the Inheritauce Tax Legal?

WASHINGTON. D. c., January 10 -
The Uni ed States supreme court is
asked today to pass upon the constitu-
tional ty of tt 9 Illinois Inheritance Law
of 1895, which places a heavy tax upon
the estates of persons dying in this
state and upon the property of aliens
dying elsewhere The case is of ma
tional interest from the fact that the
legislature of number of other sta es
will probably pass similar law should
the supreme court decide that the
IlliuOis law is constitutional. Sipce
the law was passed several millionaires
have died in Illinois and decision in
favor of the law would result in the
immediate addition of several hundred
thousands of dollars to the state re-
venue.

A Little Scrap.

w. B. Gilman of the G. H. yard
night force delivered himself up this
morning in Justices McKie's court
for engaging in a little alteration
with w. Williams, a fellow laborer in
this vale of tears.
Mr.. Gilman states that Willisms
took occasion of a casual conversation
to call him names and impugn his
veracity in very profane way, with
out any show or reason for so doing.
Mr.. Gilman stood the unprovoked and
unoafled for abuse as long as he thought
human nature was called upon to do so,
without in any way seeking to make
any offensive reply. But when the
epithets came too hot, Gilman suddenly
planted his left marlinspike across the
bowspirit OF the offender knocking him
onto his beam ends. Williams had to
be escorted home where it will be sew
eral days ere he is able to walk broad
again.

before Judge Winchester next week.
The case involves the constitutionality
of the law passed by the Legislature add
ing the unorganized territory in the
western part of the state to the coun-
ties of Stark and Billings. The law is
opposed by the big cattlemen in the
western part Of the state who do not de-
sire to pay taxes in these counties if
they a avoid it, and consequently
claim that the law is special legislation
and has a defective title. and conse-
quently unconstitutional. Prior to the
passage of the law the property of the
big cattle owners was returned from the
unorganized territory and they paid
only state tax on their possessions. The
addition of county taxes would mean a
large increase in The amount they pay.
Attorney John Burke of Rolla and
Burke Corbett of Grand Forks will rep
resent the cattlemen and Attorney
Simpson the county. The matter will
be warmly contested on both sides.

The general reports from the Klon-
dixie are encouraging. The reports re.
ceived at various places through the
state, by persons who have friends in
the gold regions, being reports which
are presumably reliable, and traceable
to some authority, are to the effect that
Klondike is a gigantic lottery, with the
chances against the player. Notwith-
standing this fact the travel increases.
The first of the present week saw SOC
Klondikers leave st. Paul in one day,
filling two sections of the overland
trains of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern. In the face of this enthus.
iasm for gold, it is we'll nigh useless tc
protest. Experience is the only thing
that will teach the ambitious gold
seekers.

in contempt, and that he was bro.
nounced guilty and sentenced sum.

days in Jail by Judge POLLOCK for viola.

sentence was asked for and refused and
Storey has been ordered to Jail. Tho
