County VS.. State.

st. Louis county is threatened with
suit by the state and when it comes
will raise two important questions in
a counter claim. A few days ago the
county, in sending the state the
amount of its apportionment of taxes,
took out SIT, 30O.24, the states share of
the county's losses in dead banks. The
state has disregarded this and drawn
for the full amount, and will sue if it
is not paid, which it will not be. The
county will put in large counter
claim on two points. The first one is
the iron ore tonnage tax. which was
declared unconstitutional. Under it
the state took half the tax, and the
county will sue for the difference
between that and what they
should have had, one-tenth. Another
point is the railroads gross earnings
tax. The county will claim that it
should have been apportioned among
the counties in which the railroad
property is situated, instead of the
states using it, and will sue for its
share. The amounts involved will be
several times the states claim.

Killed by the Cars.

An unknown woman was killed by a
Minneapolis & st. Louis way freight
train near Eden Prairie. She called at
the home of S. f. Miller, postmaster,
of the village, and asked for drink
of water. She was given the drink of
water and then she started down the
railroad track. She had gone towards
Minneapolis about mile and a half
when she reached a long trestle bridge
across which was coming the freight.
She started to step off the track but
was too late, and the engine knocked
her down. Her head was badly crush
ed, both legs were cut off and her en-
tire body horribly mangled. The en-
CINE carried her some forty feet.
