The suit of Frank Hanrahan. clerk
of Waterford township, VS.. Charles A.
Arlen, county treasurer, and the town
of Charlotte. was filed for action in the
district court last summer. the
plaintiff bringing action to recover
mu!ct tax which had been paid
to the town, and which the clerk there
of affirmed should have been paid to
the township. BY the decision of the
sessed against four saloons in the
village Of Charlotte for the quarter
ending December 81, 1904, should have
been paid to Waterford township on Or
before the 31st day of October of the
same year and the court further finds
that said tax subsequently paid in the
sum of $500 Is the property of the
township. A writ of maltdamus was
ordered by the court. directing Treas
urer Arlen to pay the sum of money
named over to the clerk o: the town
ship. The peculiar situation in Waters
ford township grew out OF the incor-
poration of the town of Charlotte. The
township clerk claimed thnt had the
mulct tax been paid in advance, as it
should have been, it would have gone
to the township. The tax was collect
ed after the town had been Incorporate
ed, however, hence was turned over to
the county for the city Of Charlotte.

Fort Dodge. Oct lot develops
that F.. r. Prang. the musician and
painter. who was arrested for stealing
a horn belonging to the Fifty sixth
regiment band, has penitentiarv
record and that his wife has also been
in prison. A search warrant was is
sued yesterday and the Prang home
was entered by the officers. The re-
suit was the clearing up of the mys-
tery of numerous burglaries that have
been committed here in the past few
months.
The number of robberies here have
been very large during this time, but
no big haul was made. The finding OF
so much of the stolen goods shows
that Prang has been connected in all
the robberies 1t is also thought his
wife was in the deal, as in nearly
every case two persons were supposed
to have committed the deed.
The arrest of this man caused con-
siderable surprise here. as he was
supposed to have been a man of some
standing. On investigation into his
past life, however, it shows that he
was sent to the penitentiary for eigh.
years, but got out with lighter SEN
tence. An investigation of his wife's
record shows that she also has served
time in prison. Prang attempted to
ship some stolen articles to Omaha,
and they were recovered at the express
office.
