Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1917-11-16

There will be no more bidding on
the lands and lots in the county of Rusk
by spectators when property is sold
for non-payment of taxes. In the past
the good pieces have been bid in and
the county has had to keep the unsal-
able ones. 1t is estimated that the
profit to the county which has pre-
viously gone to spectators will pay the
salaries of the county officials in few
years. When the taxes become delin-
uuent hereafter the county will simply
take over the property giving to the
owner of mortgage the same prOtee-
ton he now has.
1t was a busy two days for the county
board. The sessions did not conclude
until II o'clock Wednesday night.
When the roll was called j. G. Stubs

TRONTON NO. THURSDAY APRIL S, 1917. NUMBE
Commissioners Report.


Honorable r. 4. Alexander, the
com mission appointed by the su-
preme court to take testimony in Ma
ries county in tho Bradley-Cox con-
test for Judge Of the Springfield court
of appeals. filed his report with the su-
preme rt of Missouri Monday.
The commissioner reports that in
his opinion, constructive fraud ex-
listed in tbs, election, that the ballot
was properfs certified by the secre-
tary of statA to ste clerk of the coun-
ty court Of Aaries county and that the
name of Arch A. johnson had no right
on the ballot. The commissioner al
SO finds that the ballot was properly
published in the Belle Times as certi-
fed to by the clerk, but that the
name of Arch A. Johnson was publish
id on the ballot instead of the name
of John II. Bradley in the Maries
County Gazette. The ballot was not
certified to the Maries Couny Ga
zette by the clerk, but was certified
by the clerk to the Belle Times. The
commissioner finds that the name Of
Arch A. johnson appeared on the Of
fetal ballot by mistake, error, care
lessness and negligence of the county
clerk. or his deputy and the printer
Of the Mariess County Gazette, who
prepared the ballots that were used
on election day. The commissioner
reports that 1907 of the voters who vot-
ed for Johnson intended to vote for
the regular democratic nominee and
would have voted for John II. Brad
| ley had 1t not been for the error; that
Bradley is entitled to 1908 votes cast
in Maries county, there being one abb
sentee vote cast for him, and that 1t
said votes are counted for him, his
ma jority over Cox, his republican op"
ponent in the district viii be 244
votes.
The report Of the commissioner viii!
be taken up by the supreme court and
passed on by it some time about the
middle Of May.
