Recorded January. 8, 1901.
D. M. HAVERLY, County Clerk.
In conformity with this contract the
delinquent tax list for Douglas county
for 1901 was published in the Omaha
Evening World-Herald only. If the con-
tention that the Calculations Of the
Morning World-Herald and the Evening
World-Herald combined constitute the
Omaha Daily World-H Herald could be
entertained in any court. of equity the
publication Of the tax list for 1901 was
illegal and all the sales under that pub
lication absolutely void.
The congressman-elect from the Sec
ond congressional district is profess
sionally a lawyer and he knows law
enough to know that his claims for the
Daily World-Herald are fraudulent and
that the circulation claims he has made
for the purpose of e~xtorting money from
druggists and liquor dealers are a conf
dence game that would subject any
other person in any other business using
the same tactics to criminal prosecution
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.
