The bill raising the salary OF coun-
ty commissioners from - to 80 per
day passed the senate. but the chnch-
er to lay the motion to reconsider did
not carry.
The case against eX-Treasurer Blck-
ford for misappropriation OF state
funds will be heard at the May term OF
court for Burle1gh county. IN justice
Sperry's court Bickford was bound
over, and he was released on giving
ance.
A bill is being prepared looking to
the refund by the state OF certain taxes
paid by counties on Northern Paclhc
indemnity lands that were assessed
prior to 1896, and were declared by
the courts afterwards to be non-as-
sessible. Suits were instituted against
the counties involved for the recovery
of the taxes that had been paid and
for tax certificates issued on these
lands, and the counties were obliged to
reimburse. The state taxes had been
paid over, and there is no way of get
ting this money back from the state
treasury except upon action from the
legislature. The counties in the south
ern end Of the state are involved, as.
much Of the N. p. indemnity land was
located there. The selection of lands
by the Northern Pacific was not rati-
fled by the interior department until
1896, which is the cause of the lands
