APPEAL TO SUPREME court
TO BE MADE BY COUNTY IN FRY
TAX REFUNDMENT
CASE

At the coming term of the Minneso-
ia State Supreme court, which begins
the first Of October, County Attorney
C. Rosenmeier will make an appeal
from the decision of Judge j. A. Roes-
er of the district court of this dis
trict, in the case Of j. j. Fry VS.. The
County of Morrison, et al.
This case involves the refunding OF
payments OH ditch taxes made by Mr..
Fry after the ditch had been knocked
out. Mr.. Fry bought tax certificate
I, number of years ago and after he
purchased it he paid the taxes on it
for eight or ten years, including a
part of the assessments for a ditch
known as Ditch No. -. Six or seven
years ago this ditch was knocked out
by the state supreme court but Mr..
/ Fry nevertheless kept On paying taxes
on it.
Recently he came in and made de-
mand on the county for these assess
ments but the county contended that
they were voluntary payments and
that he knew of the action taken by
the state supreme court. Mr.. FRY
brought the matter into district court,
however, and Judge Roeser decided in
his favor.
The sum is not large, only about
sS236, but the principle involved IS OF
considerable Importance and the coun-
ty is anxious to get ruling from the
state supreme court on it as decision
has never been rendered by that body
on a question of this kind. II t!he
man were owner of the land there
would be no question about the mat
ter, as the state supreme court has
held that money so paid by land
owner cannot be recovered. In the
case of person holding a tax certiti-
cate there may be some difference,
however and a ruling will be worth
having.
One reason why the county does not
feel that it is fair to refund money in
this manner is that tax certificates
could be purchased in THE same man,
ner as by Mr.. Fry and could be held
>for years and high rate OF interest
collected On them.

COMMISSION CUTS VALUATION
STATE BOARD REDUCES ACREAGE
VALUATION OF COUNTY
NEARLY $4,000

Morrison county's assessed valuation
took quite slump when the Minneso-
ia State Tax commission, the last
board to examine the assessments,
sliced off 10 per cent or nearly $4,000
from the real estate acreage. Audi
tor McNairy has just received notice
of the conpnission's IS action.
The, total valuation in this county,
outside Of the cities and villages, is
about $7,400,000. The valuation in
this county on acreage was far above
that of other counties in its class, the
commission said, and tine reduction
brings it about equal with the others.
The reduction is only on acreage and
does not affect the cities and villages
of the county.

PRISON LAUDED BY VASALY
BOARD OF CONTROL. MEMBER
CITES WHAT MINNESOTA IS
DOING TO HELP CONVICTS

Saltwater, Sept. 25.-"The prison
should be a place of social change. The
offender must feel not that the mighty
structure of society is against him,
but its forces are. directed toward
helping and restoring him.
This was the declaration of Charles
E. Vasaly of st. Paul, member of the
state board Of control, in an address
late today before the state conference
of charities and corrections, in session
here.
Outlines Minnesota Work
He outlined some Of the :things Min
nesota is doing for it's prisoners as
follows:
Factories which have produced $780,
100000 pounds of grain binding twine
since their establishment in 1891, at
a saving to farmers of $7,5OO,OO0 and
earnings to prisoners varying from Is
cents a day to $3.50.
Machinery plants which last year
manufactured 10000 machines, includ-
ing $500 binders and 5000 mowers,
and which provide means of learning
the trades of molder, blacksmith,
painter, machinist and woodworker.
A school with tri-weekly sessions.
A library of 1000 volumes, with a
Chautauqua circle of entertainment.
Reformers Cloud Results
"We do not need in Minnesota to
be told there are tremendous possibili-
tiles in prison work. Mr.. Vasaly said
$50 called reformers who seek the
limelight before the result of their ex-
periments is known and who have pro-
claimed' a new gospel of prison reform
with the same JUNCTION as though they
had rediscovered the commandments,
have dbscured with the public the
work done for years in this and other
prisons by the real pioneers Of prison
reform.'

FIVE boy BURGLARS NABBED
FOUR UNDER 12 YEARS AND ONE
a6 CONFESS TO BURGLARIES
AT PIERZ

AS a result Of dealer at Pierz sus-
pecting that young boy who came to
his store to purchase gun, had Sc
cured the money by means otherwise
than honest, knowing his circumstan-
ces, gang of five young boys, four of
whom were IL years of age and under,
and the fifth l6, confessed to thefts
at the P. A. Hartmann store at Pierz
in which they had secured sums of
money amounting to several hundred
dollars. All Of the money that was
stolen has been or will be recovered
and some checks that were taken and
were destroyed can be replaced by new
checks.
The burglaries were committed on
three occasions covering a period OF
several weeks. The last one, and which
resulted in the boys arrest, was per-
petrated at the Hartmann store, on
Sunday morning, while Mr.. Hartmann
was at church. They secured $96 and
some merchandise. On the 10th of
this month the four youngest boys
stile $22 at the same place. On an
other occasion one of the boys stole
some money from his fathers store
and gave it to the oldest boy of the
gang, as hush money.
The boys were brought before Judge
Lyon in municipal court for their hear
ing Monday afternoon. Although
these were reformatory offenses, be-
cause of their age and in view Of the
fact that this was their first offense,
the boys were let off with fine. Each
one was assessed $15 and costs, total
ing $40, in addition to returning the
stolen money and goods. Four Of the
boys were charged with robbery and
the fifth with accepting stolen money.
