Important Decision

A. NJ. Curtis has received no.
tice that the Supreme Court has
handed down a decision that is
very important to the city schools
of Mountain Grove, Norwood,
Mansfield and Hartville. For
some time the railroads have re-.
fused to pay but on the basis of
a levy of 6Jc on the 500 valuation
in these districts when the leyieS
were actually much more, claim
ing that because these districts
had annexed territory outside of
the corporate limits of the town
they could not legally make a
larger levy. In 1911 Mr.. Curtis
and Mr.. Frink brought suit a.
gainst the railroad company to
enforce payment of the amount
they had failed to pay. The cir
court held in favor of the rail.
roads but an appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court. Now comes
a decision in a Scott county case

that such districts can make n
levy of as high as 81 ON the 800

passed down the creek near the

grazing, and at noon Mr.. John.
son went back up to feed them
and found one of them dead. tie
then notified Mr.. Austin, and
they made All examination of
the animal tD try and discover
the cause of death. There had
seemingly been no struggle, as
the ground was not paved up at
any place near the animal, the
rope around her neck was per.
fectly loose and her head was
within five or six feet of the
bush to which the - or ID feet
of rope was tied. As there were
no scars or marks on the animal
they reached the conclusion that
death had occurred from natural
causes, and this was also the
opinion of several persons who
viewed the animal during the
afternoon. After trying several
phones in the neighborhood un.
successfully, Mr., Hoover was
finally reached about Sundown

the lines to Vera Cruz, thence to
Ava, and repeated to Mansfield,
and notified of the animals
