CLAIMS AN OFFSET
Northern Pacific Objects to As.
sessment of Land Contracts

The arbitrary assessment of $1,000,0OO
made by Assessor Conley against the
Northern Pacific Railway company, on
account of its land contract credits, will
undoubtedly be carried into the courts
unless wiped out by the board of equaliza-
ton or the board of abatement.
The matter came before the board of
equalization yesterday, when Leon T.
Chamberlain, counsel for the Northern
Pacific, and G. S. Fernald, of the roads
tax department, appeared before the board
to protest against the assessment.
The assessment is made on account of
moneys owing to the road on contracts
for the sale of its lands in North Dakota
Montana, Washington and other states
along its line. 1t was admitted that large
amounts were due the road on these con-
tracts but it was commended by both Mr..
Chamberlain and Mr.. Fernald that the
amount should be offset by the bonded in
debtedness of the road, which is many
times greater than the amount of the
land credits.
1t was farther argued that the road Is
organized under the laws of Wisconsin,
and that the lands sold were located out
side Minnesota, and if the contracts were
assessable at all they should be assessed
in the counties in which the lands were
located.
The question is identical to one raised
a year ago, when the same road was arbi-
trarily assessed 100000 on its land con-
tracts At that time the assessment was
first made against the Hackney Boynton
Land company. which is supposed to be
the land department of the Northern Pa
cifie This company replied that it should
not be assessed because of the reason
that it owed the Northern Pacific much
more than it's credits amounted to. 1t
was then that Assessor Conley added
100000 to the Northern Pacific's assess
ment.e
This assessment was later abated by
the board of abatement, but State Audi
tor Iverson refused to enter the abate-
ment on the ground that it was a ques-
ton for the courts to decide. The mat
ter will probably get unto the courts this
fall, when the county treasurer asks for
Judgment Representatives of the road
assert that they. have no fear of the re-
suit if the matter is carried into the
courts.
In view of the arbitrary assessment
made against the Northern Pacific last
year, that road made return to the as
SCISSOR this year. it being the first time
in the history of the county that a road
ever made a return to the assessor OF its
personal property. In this return the
road set forth its land credits, but held
that they should be Offset by the bonded
indebtedness.
Assessor Conley holds that the land
department is separate from the road and
tackled on $1,000, 600 to the assessment
When the matter came before the board
of equalization yesterday 1t was re-
ferred to the miscellaneous committee
and the county attorney.

L. X. Mcconnell Late to Work

L. K Mcconnell, travelling passen-
ger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul, was late getting to work
yesterday morning. He also wore a
rather haggard expression around the
eyes, but he swept into the offices of
the company with his nose in the air
and chest swelled out.
He overlooked the accommodating
clerk who sells tickets at the counter
and walked back to his desk as if he
had a perfect right to be as late as he
pleased.
Hes daisy" remarked Mr.. Nc
Cornell few minutes later, when
greeted by Mr.. Dixon, Northwestern
agent of the road.
Then the explanation came.
Mr.. Mcconnell is a brand new father
of an incipient railroad man, and, fur
thermore, he is glad of it.
Young Mcconnell arrived early yes
terday and his father spent several
hours passing around large black per-
fectos in honor of the event.
For goodness sake" said Mr.. Nc
Cornell Sr. to The Globe man,
Don't print anything about it. The
boys out in my territory will make it
cost me million dollars"

Miss Nancy Mitchell. one of the bene-
ficiaries under the will of Cornelia Day
Wilder Appleby, has filed petition in
delay in the payment of her legacy of
s125 per month. She says the payment is
made impossible by claim of Dr. T. V.
Appleby, who is dissatisfied with the
amount of the estate set aside for the
purpose. of producing revenue with which
to pay his legacy
The petitioner says she believes the
property set aside in view of Dr. Apple
bys legacy is sufficient to pay his income,
and she asks the court to effect a speedy
settlement of the matter in order that
she may enjoy her own rights. Until the
matter is settled Miss Mitchell nor any
other. of the legatees can, be paid their
legacies. Six payments are now due the

Landseekers to BonesteeI

CHICAGO, July 22.-The movement
westward on account of the opening of
the Rosebud Indian reservation in
South Dakota exceeded all expectations
The Chicago ,&s North Western alone
took 10000 people to Bonesteel, Fairfax
and Yankton
This unprecedented movement was
largely due to the fact that long over

reach the reservation, the North West

protracted debate and explanation of the
purposes, and the convention gave con-
siderable portion of its time yesterday
to the consideration of the two propo-
sitions looking to alliances with other
crafts.
No Drastic Change Likely
The convention was in session at 1890
O'clock this morning, awaiting a report
from its committee appointed to revise
the constitution of the order. No drastic
action is anticipated but it is said that
when the Commercial Photographers union
was evolved from the two other organiza-
tions, the constitution for the new union
was somewhat loosely drawn, and many
points are vague and susceptible of more
than one construction. The constitu--
ton committee has been at work for for
ty-eight hours on the task of revising
the constitution, but the report is not
expected before this afternoon.
The reports of the international officers,
which were referred to committee on
officers reports, We're discussed during the
greater part of the afternoon and far
into the night, and at times the debate
was acrimonious. During a part of the
proceedings President Long called Vice
President Linquist to the chair, and fur
Their time was given the committees in
which to consider the reports.
The fight on President Longs re-elec-
ton has extended to Secretary-Treasur
Russell, but his friends are confident that
he will be reelected by the convention.
Indications are that the convention will
not complete its labors before Sunday
morning, though it is possible that the
telegraphers will complete their work late
tonight by the election of officers and the
winding up of the business.
Cincinnati and Memphis are candidates
for designation as the place of holding
the next international convention.

The issuing of this injunction is the

bodily injury. The men had come to
