BUNK HOUSE BURNED.
One Man Severely Burned at the Rifle
Farm.

A bunk house on the f. G.. Rifle
farm, three miles east of Walla Walla.
was totally destroyed by fire about 6
o'clock last night. A hired man had
started fire in stove and went out
to feed the stock. Shortly afterward
the house was discovered to be on fire
and had gained such Roadway that
nothing could be done to stop the pro-
gresS of the flames. The man ran into
the house for the purpose of securing
some of his personal effects. and as a
result he was severely burned about
the hands and face. He lost all his
wearing apparel. a gold watch and his
household furniture. The fire evident
ly was started from the the stove.

CLOUDS ON TITLES
Tax Foreclosures Held By
Court to Be Invalid.
DECISION IN STEVENS COUNTY
May Be the Cause Of Raising the
Question in Waiia Walia
County.
DECISION IN STEVENS COUNTY

| At Colville, in the superior court
Judge Richardson, has rendered a de-
cision which may possibly be made APP
| plicable to Walla Walla county. anG
one that will bring into question a
large number of real estate titles in
this county.
The case at Colville was that of j. H
Young versus Louis Droz. involving
the validity of Stevens county tax titles
based upon the general foreclosure
Judgment filed in December. 1902
This. in effect. declares the judgment
null. and all persons who have suffered
loss of property by sale under that
treasury the amount of their taxes to
date and redeem their property.
The decision affects the title to over
1000 pieces of real estate in that county
and opens up to the county treasury
the collection of nearly $4,000 in taxes
that have been cancelled by operation
of the proceedings involved. II the
purchaser at tax sale paid less than
the taxes, he is ahead the difference.
Most of the property bought in under
the void judgment by the county has
since been sold by the treasurer under
order OF the board of county commits
siOnerS. In the case at bar the prop
erty has since been improved by the
addition of valuable buildings. the
value Of which may be lost.
In this county during the past three
years there was a large lot Of real es-
tate sold under the same law, and the
title transferred by the county treasur-
er to purchasers at the tax sales. The
deeds to the property have been exc
cuted by the county and most of them
placed on record. There has never
been a question raised as to the legal
ity of the proceedings in this county.
but now that the question has been de-
cided in Stevens county. similar suits
will undoubtedly be brought in Walia
Walla.
