I0WNSEND'S COURT.
Judge Refuses to Enjoin Col
lection of Indian Tax.

In tho district court yesterday
the only business Of Importance
transacted was the verdict OF the
Jury in the case of Leroy Long VS..
Subal Payne and the decision Of
Judge Townsend OIL the Indian
tax question.
In the former case, which was
on trial Friday, the jury yesterday
morning rendered verdict in fa-
vor Of defendant.
The Indian tax case Involved the
right Of the Indian government to-
collect from nOn-citizens the per-
nit tax OH stock and the | per cent
ad valorem tax on merchants
The PLAINTIFF sought to eDjoin
the Indian collectors from fur
ther prosecution Of their work Of
collecting, and The case was argued
very eKhaustively BY attorneys on
both sides.
The court made quite lengthy
statement Of bis position on the
various issues involved, and con-
cluded by reiusing 10 grant the IN
junction asked. He qualified his
decision to this extent, however.
He stated that when any incorpo
rated town was appraised and sold
according TO law, the title passing
to the non-ciIizen owners Of i'm
provements, then be would hold
that the white resident Of that par
ticular town was no longer an int
truder and would eDjoin the collec-
tion Of such taxes if attempted.
There was one issue in the case
which will be submitted to the
master 10 ohancery to make a re-
port on the facts This was the
question OF whether or not the In
dian officials bad closed or threat
ened to close any mans business
house Tor non-payment OF the !
per cent tax. The court intimated
that should the masters report on
the facts sustain the allegation in
the bill Of plaintiffs. that be would
order an injunction to issue to re-
strain such action in the future.
In announcing his conclusion
Judge Townsend adverted 20 the
enormous expense which has been
entailed on the United States gov
ernment in it's efforts to settle In
dian Territory affairs, and created
some amusement by saying that
had congress absolutely divesIed
the Indians Of title to their lands,
as be believed il had right 10 do,
opening ths same to white settle
ment and boarding the Indians at
the Fifth Avenue hotel in New
York, il would have been astroke
of economy fof the people of the
United States. -Ardmorite.

had acted improperly, the nat
ional committee on appeal could
have ordered an investigation as
asked for by Mr.. Enloe; that it is
thus seen that the investigation
that he desired was prevented
by the fraudulent action in chang
ing the returns from his own
county.
Mr.. Sims said that he did not
charge that Mr.. Enloe had done
this himself, but that it had been
done by his friends, and that he
now was esstopped from COM
planning of fraud or irregularity
in any of the other counties,
when the returns from his own
county were so fraudulent they
could not bear the light Of day.
He said that he had known
this for two years, but had never
made the fact public and would
not do so now, was it not that he
was compelled to do so by the
attact on the congressional com
mittees made by Mr.. Enloe; that
he did not charge the democrats
of Madison county with being
responsible for the above acts,
he laid the charge at the door Of
some of Mr.. Enloes friends who
had access to the returns from
Madison county.
Mr.. Sims said that he wanted
an honest and fair primary, and
had every confidence that the
democrats of this district would
act honestly and fairly and do
exact justice to all the candidates
Mr.. Sims said that he approved
every word of the national plat.
form; had every confidence that
Bryan would be elected, and
from all the indications he was
confident of his own nomination.
