SUSTAINED TAX DEED.
judge Dale Gives Decision in Case
Filed by Laura BuckWaiter.

In the case of Laura Buckwalter VS..
G. w. Ceilings, ct al, yesterday in the
district court. in which the plaintin en-
deavored to set aside a tax deed which
had been on record for five years, Judge
Dale sustained the tax deed.
The property under consideration con-
sisted CT several lots, and in the deed
the consideration was named collectively
instead of each lot being taken separately
and the consideration for each named.
1t was the object of the plaintiff to
show that the fact that the consideration
was named collectively, the deed was
not valid on its face. 1t was decided,
however. that under the present statutes
the sum could be named collectively and
the decd remain just as valid as II the
considere ton for each was named.

PA r X Err

The following dispatch is trifle
old, but very timely, and will be read
with general interest:
indianapolis, Ind, May w. J.
Bryan has written. a letter, which
is one of the most interesting
pieces of campaign literature yet
produced, regarding Judge Parker.
The letter was written to Judge
James McCabe, of Williamsport, Ind,
formerly of the Indiana Supreme
bench. In part it is as follows:
"The reorganizers, as you say,
Gratis, and it has panied me to learn
that some of the prominent Demo-
Gratis of your State have been caught
in the trap, but recently the New
York platform and the ioud-speaking
silence Of Judge Parker ought to I'M
deceive them.
cit is impossible to conceive of a
Democratic campaign fought on a
platform, and under the
leadership of a muzzled candidate.
The excuse that his judicial position
makes it improper for him to dis
cuss public questions is a pitiful and
pretense. Other judges
have not been so hampered by judi
cial ethics, and besides he can re-
sign any day and thus free himself
from the imaginary restraints which
he has invoked to excuse his lack of
and if Democratic NOM
nation is worth having. it is certain
ly worth resisning a judgeship to Sc
cure But the judges attack of lock
jaw does not save him: actions speak
founder than words You have
doubtless heard of the simpleton,
