TO RECOVER TAXES.
Suit to Get an inheritance Tax Re.
turned.

IuIneO.
Mary E. Barney and Emma J. Mills
have commenced an action against
James A. Ewing, as treasurer of Blue
Earth county, to recover $t8S.64, being
four fifths of an inheritance tax of
1886 80 paid on the estate of the late A.
G. Wood. After the tax was paid. and
before it had been turned over to the
state, the law was declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court. The
only way to get the money returned,
under ruling of the state auditor, is
through the courts until the legislature
passes law authorizing the return of
the money.
A temporary restraining order was
today granted by Judge Cray, to pre-
vent the treasurer from turning the
money over, and an order to show
cause. returnable March 5th, why he
should not be restrained from turning
the money over pending the further or
der of the court. Pfau & Pfau are the
plaintiffs attorneys.
The state auditor has drawn on Mr..
Ewing for the money. but the order
will not be honored. Mr.. Ewing will
hold the money until the court decides
what disposition shall be made with
the money.
