therefor. does not, in legal contempla-
ton, render the payment involuntary.
The plaintiffs had at hand an adequate
remedy. and one of which they could
easily have awaited themselves for the
purpose OF avoiding payment and pre-
venting seizure and sale OF their pro-
perty. Notwithstanding the assurance
given to their attorney at law by the
deputy marshal that all proceedings in
connection with this assessment had
been stopped. the plaintiffs We're them
selves subsequently notified by the
marshal that the collection of the as
sesSment against them would be en-
forced by levy. unless they made pay
ment within five days. 1t therefore
plainly appears that there was no mis-
placed confidence on their part. or any
ar;ificc. deception. or fraud praciiced
upon them: but, on the contrary. they
acted with fun knowledge OF, or had
ample opportunities for ascertaining.
all the facts Nevertheless. upon conf
ing to Atlanta. the plaintiffs did not
even consult their attorney, but as
Sumcd, without investigation. that their
legal remedies had been exhausted. and
accordingly paid the assessment If
they had merely called upon their
counsel. he would doubtless have
promptly informed them OF the condi-
ton of the pending litigation with re-
1t would have been the work of but a
few minutes To make them parties
thereto. and thus cffcctulily prevent
any levy upon or sale Of their pro-
per;y or. if for any reason they did
not choose To pursue this course. they
could have waited until levy was
actually made. and then mot the Same
by an illegality. the execution being alb
sOlutely void.
The conclusions above announced are
amply supported by authority. We cx-
tract the following from Is Am. x Eng
Law. 22O: "a voluntary payment oC an
Illegal tax cannot be recovered back:
and. If there is no mode OF collecting
the tax except by an ordinary proceed
Ing AT Law or in equity, a payment Viii

under protest. In Il notc upon the
same page we find the following: "An
assessment Cor Il municipal improve
mcnt if voluntarily paid. cannot be re-
covered back, though The payment was
made under protest. and the law au-
thorlzinS the assessment was eubse-
quently adjudged unconstitutional. 1t
seems. therefore. To be clearly settled
that Il payment is not made under COM
pu!Sion or durcss. but will be treated
as voluntary. unless the party makin,

the other. Furthermore, the doctrine

Celebration Hard to Beat.
A Devils Lake correspondent of tho

This city is the first in the field with
Il fourth of July program. The Devils
Lake Driving Park association an
nounces three days. race meet on
its fine track just outside the city for
July A. and g. Two thousand dol
lars will be hung up in purses, aud it
is safe to say the fast equines of the
northwest will be here to compete for
the money. The track is one of the
best in the state and holds the state
record Of 2:l8. The officers Of the
association are George Jameson,
president; A. E. Hodgkinson, vice
president; j. O. Banghman, secretary,
and w. +. Crewe, treasurer. With the
assistance of the citizens generally,
they propose to make this race meet
the best ever held in the northwest.
Good stables will be provided for the
visiting flyers and horsemen will re-
ceive their money at the wire. The
Chautauqua will be in session at the
same time. so that there will be a
variety Of entertainment for visitors.
Secretary Baughman is indefatigable
in his efforts for the success Of the
coming meeting and will gladly give
