TAX SALES INVALID.
Attorney-Generai Fox Delivers Opin-
ion of Wide Moment.

Under a ruling of the attorney-gen-
erai department, through Assistant
Acknowledgement Carl Fox, in an opin-
ion rendered to Land Commissioner
Gillespie, there appears to be quite
a muldle surrounding the sale of GER
tain lands to the state of Mississippi
for taxes back in 1872
The specific sale which forms the
basis of the opinion was made in
Smith county, and it appears from the
records that the then sheriff. in ne
sotiating the sales, included in the
amounts 10 per centum damages. As
sistant Acknowledgement Fox. in an
opinion sent the land commissioners,
holds that it appearing from the rec
ords that If the sheriff included dam
ages at that time, he had no such au-
thority Decisions of the supreme
court have held that such action OF
itself was sufficient TO invalidate the
sales so made. The law has been
changed since, but the sale was made
under the old statute, and conse-
uuentIy the state has no title and the
realty must revert back to the original
owners or their heirs or assigns.

THE BALLINCER CASE MAINE IS DEMOCRATIC
REGULARS CONDEMN ACTION OF
DEMOCRATS, INSURGENTS.
Upon Return of Senator Flint, 1t Is
Probable That Another Meeting
Will Be Called.

Chinago, Ill.-Six Republican men,
bers of the Ballinger investigating
committee condemning the action of
the four Democratic and one Republic
an insurgent members, who delivered
a report demanding the retirement
from office of Secretary Ballinger.
Those present were Senators Mel
son, SUTHERLAND and Root and Con-
gressmen MCan, Olmstead and DENLY.
They declared the action of what they
term the minority" at Minneapolis
to have been according TO the worst
methods of ward politics.
The evidence in the Ballinger case
was discussed, but in the absence of
a quorum they stated no action on the
case itself was possible. 1t was said
that Senator Nelson had authority to
vote for Senator Flint, who is a men,
Der of the committee, but who is in
Europe.
AS the minority declined to at
tend today's conference and took their
adjournment at Minneapolis until the
next meeting of congress. it is prob
able that Senator Nelson will not call
another meeting until the return of
Senator Flint, who, as the seventh
member, would make a quorum.

LEGAL TILT OVER JONES.
Judge Orders Change Of JaiIs-Author-
ity Is Questioned.

The right OF Sheriff X. NJ. Kelly, OF
Warren county. TO retain custody OF
Charles Jones, white prisoner. under
life sentence in Bolivar county for the
murder of Jesse Pace, will be given
legal test before the supreme court at
the approaching October term.
The controversy over the possession
of this prisoner is one of the most in
teresting that has developed in the
Mississippi courts for many years,
and involves some legal problems with
which the authorities have never be-
fore been confronted.
Jones is a prominent planter OF Boil
war county, and about one year ago
shot and killed Jesse Pace. clerk in
a store at Cleveland. 1t was claimed
that Jones found a note written by
Pace to Mrs. Jones, and this provoked
the tragedy. The principal plea OF
the defense was the unwritten law
Jones was convicted and given life
sentence.
Owing TO the fact that the Jail at
Cleveland was regarded as an unsafe
structure Judge Cashin ordered the
prisoner transferred to the jail at
Rosedale, in the same county, pending
disposal of the appeal to the supreme
court. Later the prisoner was ordered
transferred TO the Warren county jail
at Vicksburg, for the same reason. The
supreme court ordered a reversal OF
the life sentence and new trial.
In the meantime the legislature had
redistricted the circuit court districts
of the state, and the county of Bolivar
was placed under the jurisdiction 81
Judge Sam G. Cook, of the Eleventh
judicial district.
Word reached Judge Cook that Jones
had been made trusty by Sheriff
Kelly, in the Warren county Jail, and
allowed a great deal OF liberty, hav.
ing every opportunity to escape in case
he saw fit to do so. Thereupon Judge
Cooked ordered the prisoner trans
ferred to the Kinds county Jail.
Armed with this order, Sheriff Ray,
OF Bolivar county, went to Vicksburg
to take custody of the prisoner and
bring him to Jackson, but he could
not do so, Judge Pat Henry, attorney
for Jones, securing an injunction in
the chancery court restraining the ac-
ton on the ground that no authority
existed 10 order more than one re-
moval for safe keeping.
