In the name Of the state to deter

doubt is that fifty or sixty sample

that it has NO means of determining
the legality of the election and has
been unwilling to incur the expense
of issuing the bonds because OF the
doubt as to whether or not there
would be a market for the bonds
when issued.
The mandamus suit is of friend

SOME TAX TITLE BUYERS
REAP A RICH HARVEST

BUYERS OF tax titles have been
reapinK a rich harvest in Dickinson
county and in other sections OF the
state the past few weeks. Reports
~ the workings of the present stat
ute show that the business is easily
plied. The buyers OF the tax titles
are entirely within their rights, and
many persons who believed that
they had a clear title to their prop
erty have learned to their sorrow
that some time. or other the taxes
Tlapsed. Then It's "Dig mp to keep
your land" j..
The system works this way. A
land owner some fine day is APP
preached by q stranger who has a
tar title to the land, and offers to
sell the title for several times the
amount of the taxes. Sometimes the
occupant OF the land offers to fight
the case. More often he will pay the
amount asked rather than go into
court with the case.
| AS the law used to be the owner
only could come to the county seat
and redeem the property at any
time, before the issuance OF the tax
deed. Now anyone may redeem IT,
without giving the owner notice.
Under the old law at the end Of
the three years. the property had to
be disposed Of, but the owner, and
NO one else, could redeem 1t before
the last day of the sale. The amend
ment of last year permits anyone &c
redeem It; that is, any one can be-
come the owner by the payment Of
the back taxes without waiting TIL
the day OF the sale. So the property
is apt to slip away from the owner
before he knows 1t.
| An Ottawa firm has made trans
actions of this sort in this county
and probably sixty or seventy-fiv'

about $4,000, was approached by

lnouncement that in 1894, the veal

C. N. Freeman and J. H. Strain
have secured a twelve months lease
on the Park Theater, and on Monday,

Mr.. Freeman, when interviewed by
a Tribune representative, last evening
said: 1--WE have had the matter of
leasing the Park under consideration
for several days, and finally came to
terms and consummated the deal late
Tuesday night.
"Mr Strain and ] will have exclu-
sive management and control of the
play house during the term of the
lease, and we intend to make it one
of the most popular places of diver
sion and entertainment that has ever
been maintained in this city.
eve do not intend to turn it into a
regular vaudeville show, but on occa-
sions when we are able to secure some
first class vaudeville attractions, we
expect to diverge from or rather add
to our regular form of entertainment
by giving both vaudeville and pictures.
"Our picture service will be Of the
very best, and Mr. Strain and | are
going to St. Louis tonight for the pur-
pose of interviewing the film people,
and deciding on the service we shall
adopt.
"We expect to hold the Princess, and
when business will justify, run night
ly shows. During the dull seasons the
Princess will be closed through the
week, and on Saturday nights we will
open it with the very best picture at
fractions obtainable.

tanned his position with the Roth To-
