Tax Ferrets Are Now Having Trouble
in Reno County.

M. w. Moir & Co., who did the
tax ferret act in this county two
years ago, are working Reno county.
Here they dug up lot Of taxes and
then the validity of their action was
attacked in district court. They
won here but lost in the supreme
court. Before the final decision was
rendered they got their commission
and the county could not recover
1t. They had however secured enough
taxes to pay 1t, though some of this
was repaid to the property owners.
This dispatch from Hutchinson tells
Of their present operations;
M. w. Muir G. Co., of Gleenwood,
Iowa, the tax ferrets' who were en-
gagged in going through the country
assessment rolls about two years
ago and ferreting out the tax dodg-
ers," are now in a dilemma.
Ever since the district court en-
Joined them from continuing in the
tax ferreting" work, and at the
same time enjoining the county COM
missioners from paying them for do
ing such work, they have been hold
ing the sack" figuratively speaking.
In letter to the county commits
sioners they now threaten to bring
suit against the county commission
ers to recover $1,627.S7, which they
claim is a reasonable fee for doing
this work. The dilemma that the
"tax ferrets' are in however is this:
They are enjoined by the court from
collecting the money, and II they sue
they will be in contempt of court
The tax ferrets' had contracted
with the commissioners to do this
work on a percentage basis. They
did the work, and as result quite
a large amount of money due the
county was collected before the court
stopped further proceedings. Action
was brought in the district court and
the court on May 8, 1909, enjoined
the county commissioners from al
lowing any pay for the work, and
enJoined the county clerk and county
treasurer from paying any warrants
for such work, or collecting in any
moneys resulting from ferreting
work.
Their bill for payment was re-
,ferred to County Attorney James
Hettinger, who notified them that
the county could not allow the
claim. They have now adopted new
tack and intimate that unless the
county comes through" with the
money there will be law suit on
hand.
The original claim on percen-
tage basis has been abandoned, but
they ask for reasonable remunera-
ton In their letter to the county
commissioners they say:
you will find on investigation
that the courts have held that labor
performed for goods furnished even
under on Illegal contract must be
paid for. AS you are aware our work
there was done in good faith and at
considerable expense to u.s."
The commissioners had confer
ence with the county attorney last
evening to discuss the situation, but
they could not discover any way out
of the dilemma that Muir q Co. are
in, for the court not only enjoined
the commissioners from paying the
bill, but also enjoined Muir 6 Co,
from collecting 1t, and suit against
the county would get Muir & Co. into
trouble with the court.
1t is possible than an action will
be brought by them to set aside the
injunction of the court, which, it il
thought, is the only way they can
accomplish anything in the courts.

Won't Make Il Union Denot.

Local railroad officials do not be-
lieve that the movement projected by
one of the state railway commissions
ers, following the recent hearing in
Norfolk, for converting the North
Westerns uptown station into UNI
ion depot, will ever come to pass.
The plan is said never to have been
submitted to them. On top of that,
it is declared by those who ought to
know, that such a plan would not be
entertained by either M. & o. or I'M
ion Pacific officials.
1t is urged that such plan Is never
satisfactory and that it is much more
probable that re Union Pacific and
NJ. & o. will build a new station of
their own.
A new station is highly probable
if Norfolk continues to demand
substitute for the old wornout and
cramped up station now doing service
as it has for third of a century past,
it is claimed.

Bonney Could Name Others.

Emery Bonney's mother declares
there are men high up" implicated in
the depredations of the gang of Nor.
folk boy bandits, and that Bonney
could have made startling disclosures
in district court at Madison, if he had
been willing to tell what he knew. He
remained silent. she says, for the
reason that telling would have done
him no good and that he was afraid
of consequences when he should get
out of Jail.
She says Bonney was not the leader
of the gang, but that older men than
he, living here in Norfolk, were at
the head OF the youthful thieves.
Mrs. Bonney says that her son
would have willingly pleaded guilty
to petty larceny, which was the final
charge against him, five months ago,
and she says that if he had chosen to
stand trial finally instead of pleading
guilty, he could have come home free
with his mother, because of lack of
evidence against him. She declares
that when 1t was found that there was
no evidence against her son, the
charge was changed.

Radical Explains Situation.

The most satisfactory explanation
offered for the insistent repetition of
the rumor that Tafts denomination
will be opposed in 1912 by the repub-
lican radicals, appeared today during
the course of talk had by several
newspaper men with one of these rad
icals. He said the conservation peo-
pie would put up program of detin-
lite legislation to congress the coming
session-a program involving water
powers, mineral and coal lands, ETC.,
and that they wanted the active CO.
operation of the president to get it
adopted by congress. They were GER
tain congress would act if the presi-
dent were to keep his hands off after
writing his message. The talk about
not renominating him, this gentleman
suggested, might for all he knew to
the contrary, be for the purpose of
arousing him when the time comes for
him to get busy with congress.

Flying Machine To Be Made Here.

A flying machine is to be made in
Norfolk
David Smith of Deevere, Garfield
machine. He has just received his
patent papers, which cost him a good
deal of money, from Washington and
has placed the plans and maps of
his flying machine in the hands Of
William Altman, of Norfolk, with
money and orders to start work in
building his first machine.
Mr. Smith, who has been working
on his invention for over four years,
is very enthusiastic over receiving
his patent papers, and he believes his
machine will be a successful flyer
when completed.
Bird-like in build and movement,
the plans of the machine look very
reasonable to Altman. 1t is to be
operated like a bicycle, with peddles
which keep the wings, which automati-
cally open and close, moving up and
down bird fashion. The stearing gear
rudder, which is controlled by handle
bars, also operates the tail which
causes the machine to rise and fall.
The nhchine is lstarted from a
stand, the operator starts peddling
and a switch causes the wings to
tilt, giving them the forward drive.
The wings will be made of the
best canvass, or possibly china silk
coated with rubber, and the frame Of
the lightest steel tubing making a
net weight of less than thirty pounds.
The sprocket wheel, chain and peddles
do the entire work of keeping the
wings going up and down, while the
handle bar does the guiding of the
machine and also controls the tail.
Mr.. Smith for a long time has
tried to invent flying machine which
could be operated like bicycle, using
his own words, something a man can
take and fly into town with" Mr..
Smith believes the machine will be
success, and has every assurance
of it's being able to attain any alti-
tude.
Mr. Altman, who gets the contract
to build the flying machine, says he
believes it will be a success and work
will begin on it Immediately. Much
special material will have to be sent
for and it will take at least three
months before a trial trip can be
made.

the latter would win by at least 10O,.

also true, as we understand things in
that state, of practically every state
beyond Ohio. Such states as Mime.

change takes place in the attitude of
republican leaders toward the men

Many will claim that Mr.. O'Brien
oVerstates the situation; but that there
is something in what he says, folks
IN this vicinity well know. This con-
dltion of uncertainty and threatened
republican revolt in some of the strong
republican states, only adds to the
anxiety of those republicans in the
east who have been figuring on the
next congressional and electoral col
lego reapporticnment.
