SHEEP MEN WIN OUT
AN IMPORTANT DECISION HANDED
DOWN BY NORTH DAKOTA
SUPREME COURT
NEED PAY ONLY STATE TAXES

Legislative Act, by which Thou
sands of Acres, Occupied by Be-
nanza Rnnchers, Were Added to
Stark and Rulings Counties, Held
void-Past Taxes Paid without
Protest-News 81 the Northwest.
BISMARCK, N. D., May 1s.-(special.)
The supreme court today handed down
a decision in the most important case
heard at the recent term, declaring I'M
constitutional the law passed several
years ago, adding thousands of square
miles of unorganized territory in the
western part of the state to the Stark
and Billings county.
The syllabus of the court says: Chap
ter 25 Laws of 1895, entitled An act to
increase the revenues of the state by
changing and increasing the boundaries
of the counties of Stark, Billings and Mer-
cer.' The body of the act simply increas-
es the boundaries of such counties Held
that the act is unconstitutional, because
the subject of the act is not expressed in
the title as required by section 81, of the
constitution of the state
The Importance of the decision lies in
the fact that the territory which was
by law added to the counties of Stark,
and Billings has been the home of Bo-
nanza cattle outfits, and they have been
forced to pay taxes to counties, where
before they paid only state taxes. Conse-
quently these taxes, amounting to thou
sands of dollars, have been Illegally lev
led and collected by counties 1t is stated
that In nearly all cases. however, the
taxes were paid without protest. and At
torney General Cowan states that if this
is the case the payers cannot recover.
The case brought to test the constitu-
tionality of the law was begun by Wilson
S. Richards, one of the Bonanza cattle
men

TRANsvAAL INDEPENDENCE.
President Kruger VIII Listen to
No Attempt Upon 1t.

LONDON, May 1S.-Te secretary of state
for the colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain,
announced In the house of commons today
that meeting between Sir Alfred Minor,
the governor of Cape Colony and high
commissioner of South Africa, and Presi-
dent Kruger had been arranged to take
place on May 80, at Bloemfontein, capital
of the Orange Free State, at the invita-
ton of the president of the Orange Free
State N. T. Steyn. He added:
"Sir Alfred Minor, with my approval,
accepted the invitation, with the earnest
hope of arriving at a satisfactory settle
ment of the situation which the British
government could accept and recommend
to the Outlanders as reasonable conces-
sion of their just demands"
President Kruger has also accepted
but he added that the terms of Sir Alfred
Minors acceptance go further than his
intention. He will gladly discuss every
proposal conducting to good under
standing between the Transvaal and
Great Britain, providing the independence
Of the Transvaal is not impugned (Op-
position cheers.)

HELLIwELL TO PAY.
Jayne's Partner Says He VIII Settle
Ind cd


the Indebtedness.
Arthur I. Helliwell announced yesterday
that he would pay every dollar of the in
debtedness of the law firm of Jayne &
Helliwell, although financially ruined, he
was grateful that it lay within his power
to. make good the shortage of his partner,
Trafford N. Jayne. Mr.. Helliwell said he
felt only the deepest sympathy for Mr..
Jayne.
Mr. Helliwell has been steadily at work
upon the firms accounts, and has ascer-
tanned practically the amount of the
shortage. This he declined to make pub
lie, but he said that it was smaller than
he had expected. An inventory of the
firms property is also being taken and the
property will be sold at auction and the
firms offices in the Loan and Trust build
ing closed within few days. An inven-
tory is also being taken of the Crolius
Tucker & Allen company's property, with
the object of closing up that business as
soon as possible. What the result of the
shortage will be upon the other trust
funds placed in Mr.. Jaynes hands, can
not now be determined.

SAME OLD sW1NDLE.
Man With the Baggage Checks Has
Been Busy at Chippewa Falls.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, wis, May 49,
Especial "A bold attempt was made to-
day by stranger giving his name as w.
L. Morley to swindle7the Chicago, Mil
Waukee & ST. Paul railway, and the sher-
IF is now in pursuit of the man. Morley
arrived in this city and presented bag
gage checks to the agent, demanding
large amount of baggage; which he claim
ed to have sent from st. Paul. The
agent, however, had been notified by the
company that the checks had been stolen
from the depot at Hastings, Mimi, and
notified the authorities. The swindler
succeeded in getting away on a Central
passenger train for Minneapolis, and the
sheriff is now in that cit looking for him.
Morley's scheme was to compel the rail-
way company to pay him for valuable
baggage which he would claim the rail-
road had lost, showing the checks as
proof. He also worked hotels here and
in Eau Claire on the pretense of wait
ing for baggage, and in the latter city
securedea sum of money from a landlord
and, also from a business man. .4
