The EHtinot oaAEEA.

The quagga, the baf cousin 10 tho Eild ass. has vanished from Africa sud only exists as imperfect specimeni D the European museums.
 The Quagga exists as name sull ln South Africa, for the name has been wrongly applied to Burchelrs zebra, but the true Quagga, which took Ito name from lts cry "Quacha.' has been extinct since 1872. when the last of his or rather. of her race, for this quagga was a female, died in the Lon. don Geological sOciety's menagerle.
 It's extinction in South Africa was due solely to the zeal with which the Dutch farmers hunted lt for it's hide. and it is d saddening reflection that thousands of Kafiirs used to be fed On lt by their BOer masters.
 The ldlotic wastefulneSS of thus CT. terminating a species becomes the more marked In view of the fact that the quagga, which was midway be- tween a zebra and a wild ass. could be broken to harness and was the brayest as well as the hardest of ani. mals Some BOer farmers used to keep tame quaggas on their farms to graze with horses fin order to protect them from beasts of prey.

COUNTY BOARD MET.

The county toard of supervisors
m in the tour ouse last
Monday in its January session. The
first thing mp was the reading Of the
report Of the expert accountant. ]. A..
Dresser, whom the board had hired 60
audit the books Of the county treasurer.
Mr. Dresser made out very fine
statement Of the condition OF the
county's affairs In as tatement which
he made to the writer he spoke OF the
excellent condition of the county
treasnrers office In his checking mp
OF the books he didn't find five cents
ont Of the way and when he called for
the cash onhand he fonnd small ex-
cess to rufund TO ex-treasurer Moriarty,
which is certainlysa good condition OF
affairs.
Mr.. Dresser also checked mp the
books of the clerk and he fourd the
accounts of that officer in fine shape
These reports will soon be published.
The next matter mp was the accept
ing Of the bonds Of the county officers.
As stated before, the board ordered
that the county officers be bonded by
q surety company, tho charges to be
paid by the county The bonds were
presented and accepted and an an order
drawn for the same.
A petition from the board Of super
yisors OF Oceana county requesting
that the board OF this county take
action in the matter Of having the
law relative to the payment Of bills in
the case Of contagious diseases changed
was presented and the board ordered
clerk Wall ordered TO get out a circular
and send a copy to each Of the boards
Of the state urging them to take act
ion in the matter
The report Of the accountant on the
matter Of game law licenses opened
the eyes Of the board to the fact that
by the refusal to pay game warden
this county is simply sending money
back to the state that is paid out to
game wardens in other places ard
they took but little time to make mp
their minds to keep Iron county money
in Iron county and a resolution was
passed allowing Game Warden Bender
$50 for last year 3 services.

TEN SUITS
AGAINST CITY.
Property Owners who Paid
Their 1900 Taxes Under
Duress ask Court to
Compel City to
Refund

Ten suits fled against it in the
circuit court OF this county is the re-
cord for the city OF Crystal Falls this
week The suits are for the refund-of
the taxes of 1900 which were paid
nnder duress by The plaintiffs and are
the outcome of a demand made upon
the council of this city for a refund
and refused by unanimous vote Of
that body at meeting held for that
express purpose on last Saturday night
This teamr was SO thoroughly explain
ed in our issue OF last week that il
is unnecessary to go into detail again
this week.
AS stated last week Mr.. Watson
agreed 20 wait for the Saturday even
ing meeting. He appeared there and
aIaited an answer TO his demand for
r{bata. he agreeing TO throw OF the
interest on the taxes. The board by
a unanimous vote refused the demand
and he took thu other alternative Of
bringing the matter into court The
arials in the suits are j. H. Parks,
John EriLEon. The Parks Mercantile
Co, A. LustReld. J. K Hooper, J. c.
Wilkinson Luke Welch.
The plaintiffs are simply standing
on their rights and it is a matter over
which no bsurc should accure. They
are simply test cases which If success.

wishes to deliberately saddle his taxes
on some other person shoulders
While on this subject it is only fair
to say that in Justification Of their
refusal To refund these taxes, the city
officers hold that it is not juss TO ask
the city TO stand all of the penalty of
the error that was made. The error
arose on the county board. Had the
error arisen with city official the
county would, as is its practice charge
every cent Of the tax it lost back to
the city. Now that the tables are
turned and the county is the offender.
the city authorities hold that the
county should stand for its doings
But, leaving that consideration, the
tax that the plaintiffs ask refund of
includes county state, school and
county road in addition to the city
part The city is asked to pay all OF
these taxes whereas, when the money
was received in 1900. the city treasurer
paid over to each Of the other treasur-
ers the share of the tax that was due
them. IL the city should go to work
now and pay these taxes back It would
be big looser in the operation.
The progress of these cases will be
watched with interest by the taxpayers
