tive. The case was not litigatedin the
Osborne case and he pointed out that
the Iowa supreme court, in holding on
a petition for rehearing stated that
the decree did not affect the bonds.
He gave as his opinion that the
federal court had jurisdiction in par
ties and subject matter and inasmuch
as no appeal had been taken from the
decision the decree was in full force
and effect. The plaintiffs contended
that the city did not certify the levy
within ninety days after the judgment
in the federal court had been rendered
as is provided and did not adopt a
resolution until later, asserting this
vitiated the levy, rendering it void. The
judge, however, decided that the neg
ligence OF the city council was without
prejudice to the plaintiffs and did not
affect the levy.
The contention, however, that the
county treasurer did not carry the de-
llnquent taxes on the books for l9O3
was held by the court as fatal to the
collection of the taxes. He also found
THAI the levy became imperative thru
the statute of limitations and that the
sale ordered in 1912 therefore became
void. He therefore made the injunc-
ton permanent.

Bellevue
Several days ago Harry and Clarence
Neis, sons of a farmer residing two
miles west OF town, discovered coffin
containing the crushed skull and bones
Of a human being protruGing from the
bank Of creek in which they we're
watering their horses. The discovery
has caused considerable discussion az; a
mystery surrounds the identity Of the
remains in the coffin. It is thought
possible that the bones ay be those Of
d smallpox patient Wfo died in the
pest house near the spot during the
epidemic Of 1881. II is recalled that one
Of the victims Of the disease Was buried
near the pest house. The boys do not
knox whether they crushed the skull
in opening the box or whether 1t was
in that shape before the box was dis
covered.
Clinton.
Clinton has 10000 people, is the es-
innate made by the Mccoy Directory
~
gives its estimate TO the public at 29,-
900. II bases this figure on the pro-
portion of 2hs to each name listed N
the volume. This IL considered an ui-
tra-conseryative figure OF proportion
smaller than is used in most cities.
But the Mccoy people wish TO be con-
sidered conservative in every respect.
That there are at least 10000 people in
Clinton is the belief Of those who have
compiled the work. and who declare
that if the large number of foreigners
in Clinton who cannot speak English,
and whose names are. never entered in
city directories, could he counted the
total number would 20 up to 10000 at
least. The directory people figure 49,
600 az gain of at least 1000 persons
over the population their estimates
gave when they compiled the Clinton
directory two years ago.
