/ ASSESSOR DID NOT SIGN
Reai Estate Taxes for Several Years
Held to BE Void.


FARGO, N. D.-Judge Pollock has Gre
ated some CONSERVATION by deciding that
all the real estate taxes levied in Fargo
from '96 to 100, inclusive, are void, because
of the failure of the city assessor to at
tach his certificate. The decision Is based
largely on an Emmons county case, which
was carried to the supreme court. Promi-
nent lawyers insist that the supreme court
will have to reverse itself and get in line
with the federal ruling, in which it is held
that property owners must pay some tax
eS, and cannot escape entirely because of
technical errors The county will appeal
the case to the supreme court and endeay-
or to get a new ruling.

The Wolverine mill is doing fine work,
turning out upwards of 500 tons monthly

district. The production of the mine has
doubled, practically without increasing the
pay roll, there being but two more drill

output was doubled. Machines formerly

the cheapest copper being made in the
district, or is within a fraction of a cent

milling fine sands and shines and it is
expected that the loss in tailings will be
reduced to very small percentages.

JAMESTOWN, N. D.-James O'Brien,
the confessed murderer of Fritz Phillip, a
Bowdon man, who escaped from Jail in
