FRY DECISION is UPHELD.
STATE SUPREME COURT AFFTRMS
DISTRICT COURT'S RULING
ON REFUND or TAXES

The Minnesota state supreme court
has handed down a decision affirming
the decision of the Morrison county
district court in the case Of J. J. Fry
VS.. the County of Morrison, tax case.
Mr.. Fry brought action against the
county some time ago for the refund
ment Of ditch taxes amounting to
1920 on land on which he held tax
title. The assessments on the ditch
were annulled by the county and Mr..
Fry kept on paying the taxes, and the
amount he sought to have returned
to him represented the taxes paid in
after the tax was annulled, plus in
terest. A Judgment in his favor was
returned in district court.
Had the plaintiff in this case been
the real owner Of this land instead of
the holder of a tax certificate, there
would have been no question as to
whether Mr.. Fry would have been en-
titled to refundment, as the law
states. plainly that money so paid in
by the owner of the land is not recov-
cradle.

DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO STING

"The Worlds Youngest Handcuff
King" as ne styled himself, was una
Bile to satisfy Manager Shoots Of the
Victor theatre of this city that he was
a handcuff king or that there was any
particular amount of vaudeville abil-
ity in his company of four members,
and the vaudeville show which had
been advertised by the so-called vau-
deville company for Friday night, was
not given. Mr.. Smoots inquired as to
where the actors had exhibited previ-
ously and could learn of but two places
where they had appeared, Milaca and
Royalton. He therefore placed a sign
on the door of the theatre stating that
the show had been cancelled, and those
who had purchased reserved seats got
their money back. The youthful vau-
devillists returned to Sank Rapids the
same day.

@ Prompt application of the brakes by
the engineers Of both locomotives
averted head-end collision between
the ~Brainerd local and the North Coast
Limited, both passenger trains, on the
main track in front Of the station here
Friday afternoon. When the North
Coast Limited came to a standstill it's
engine was but ten feet away from The
engine of the Brainerd train.
The conductor of the Brainerd local
is required to call the operator at the
station here before, coming down to the
station, but on Friday, It is said, the
brakeman informed him that No. /,
the North Coast Limited, was an hour
late, and he therefore neglected CALI
ing the operator. His train was com
ing down the main track toward the
station when suddenly the engineer
sighted No. l just rounding the corner
back Of the West hotel. He immedi-
ately applied the brakes and started
backing up. The engineer on No.
did not see the other train until near
the water tank and he at once applied
the brakes, his train coming to stand
still when but ten feet away from the
local.
Operator Bartee attempted to signal
the flyer, but the engineer did not no.
tice him. People on the station plat
form stood gasping with horror as the
west bound train approached the otn-
er. The fireman on No. /, expecting
crash, jumped to the station platform,
and he narrowly escaped rolling under
the wheels Of the train. i -. -

FOOD PRODUCER AND PUBLIC.

On the face of it. man has right
to sell his product for any old price
that he can get. But there are linn
ltations in reason and Justice. If a
traveller came to inn-keeper's door
weary and exhausted on a cold winz
ter night the landlord might say that
he had a right to charge him any
price he wanted. He might say that
the man could better afford to pay
$50 for his lodging than risk his life
and health in the storm
But any inn-keeper who took ad-
vantage of human suffering tos charge
exorbitantly would be called rapi-
cious. Lawyers would probably say
that he could be compelled, as the
man in and give him accommodation
at a decent price.
The position of the food producer
in this time Of food shortage is the
same. morally, If not legally. The
people are suffering for lack Of food
products. Those who have these
products are enriching themselves.
Can any limit be placed on this grasp
ing spirit?
Ways are always found in which
to end great abuses. Food specula-
tons is a new evil with which our
people have to contend, and they will
not be tolerant in doing it. In their
anger they may go to the other ex-
IRENE, and hit blow at business in
terests that may do lasting hurt Food
spectators should have a care how
they provoke the consuming public
into state of wrath. leading to hasty
and perhaps injudicious action.
A dealer may have the legal right
to ask an unreasonable price, If so,
it seems inevitable that laws should
be changed. If they want to avoid
the vexatious interference Of govern
ment, which business interests all
dread. let the food speculator be-
ware how like the inn-keeper he
turns the public away in time Of ex-
igency. People who want to keep
friends and remain in business at the
old stand would better protect their
customers and the public.
