Mr.. Gates seemed surprised at this

"Yes. Indeed, it was owing to him
that I was arrested. You will find 1t IN

Keep the Whole Thing.

County Auditor Halden has decided
to hold all of the excess money that
was obtained over the amount Of taxes
against property sold at the recent
forfeited tax sale. Owners of property
SO sold hold that the surplus should
be paid to them, but Auditor Halden
yesterday refused to sign an order in
a case of that kind.
Mr.. Halden holds that any money
received by the county from the for
feited sale should not be paid out un-
til the sale had been upheld by the
supreme court. Ii he should pay out
the money ard the courts should sub
sequently decide that the sale is in
valid. the county would be out the
difference between the sale price and
the amount of the taxes. county
would, in case the court de-
cides that the sale is invalid have to
pay the purchaser back the money as
he paid for the property with interest.
The auditor will refuse to turn over
surplus money received at the tax
sale until decision is handed down
by the supreme court.
