Watch Your Tax Titles

The supreme court has decided, in
tax title case from Aberdeen, A. J..
Anderson VS.. Emanuel Lurati, that a
certain title, acquired several years
ago, is invalid from the fact that Lu-
rati foreclosed his tax certificate
without making Samuel Benn, the
person in whose name the property
was assessed, a party to the suit,
and that he did not serve him with
notice. On this foreclosure, a tax
deed was issued. Later, Anderson,
without knowledge of the tax deed,
bought the land from Frank Decker,
its former owner, and on learning of
the tax deed brought action against
Lurati to have it set aside. The
court holds that it is not sufficient to
publish general notice to "All per-
sons interested" in foreclosing a tax
certificate, but notice must be given
to the persons to whom the property
is assessed.

Joiner Tuesday charged with stealing
a watch and diamond from Chas.
Turner. The Judge conducted the
hearing under the provisions of the

produced by Mr.. Turner was not suf-

anything with the little chaps beyond
giving them little fatherly counsel,
and they were accordingly dis
charged.
