Which Revenue Officers
Collect Ducats

st. Paul. July 7.-Halting Of collections
of tax liabilities from alleged prohibi-
ton law violators is threatened in injunc-
ton proceedings now before the United

the estate Of Peter Glish. 227 West Fourth
street, charged with selling whisky.
Five hundred dollars Of the amount the
internal revenue officers seek to obtain
is a penalty for engaging In the busi-
ness.
Mr.. Chaplin. attorney for Mrs. Glish,
administrative, obtained a temporary
injunction restraining the government
from selling the property Friday and
today is seeking a permanent injunc-
ton.
A decision granting the injunction
will affect a large number OF cases.
totaling many thousands Of dollars, in
Minnesota, as well as elsewhere.
"The imposition of penalty by an
internl revenue officer" said Judge Nor
ris, commenting from the bench, us
high handed affair. and violation OF the
constitution"
No decision was rendered this morning,
but the court indicated he would proba-
bly, grant the Injunction.

INCREASE OF BUFFALO
Herds In Yellowstone National
Park Are Making Rapid.
Growth

Yellowstone Park, Wyo.. July T.
[By The Associated Press.1-Con-
vincing evidence that the wild buffalo
Of Yellowstone National Park, the
last surviving remnant of the great
herds which once roamed the western
plains, are on the increase, instead OF
dying out, as was feared, has been OBJ
tanned in the discovery Of new group
In the southeast portion of the park.
About fifteen animals were observed,
evidently a part Of the old herd,
which 1t is thought grew so large
that some of It's members were forced
age.
Definite information has been OBJ
tanned by park authorities that there
are now more than one hundred Of
the wild buffalo in the park. Form
erly there were only about half that
number. When discovered, the new
herd was within five miles Of one Of
the largest hotels in the park and a
snapshot was obtained of one of the
animals, a fine bull, probably the
first photograph ever taken Of wild
Ordinarily the wild buffalo never
are seen by tourists and only rarely
by park authorities, even by the rang
ers who patrol the most remote Sec
tons. The appearance of the new
herd close to the main lines of travel
was before the season opened and the
animals apparently had been 1ured
down from the mountain Businesses
by the abundance of spring grass on
the lower levels. They disappeared
into untravelled country as soon as
automobiles became frequent along
the highways.
Forty eight calves have been addad
this year to the tame buffalo herd of
the park. which now has a popula-
ton Of 500. Part of the tame herd
has been placed in corral at Nam
moth Hot Springs for the benefit Of
visitors.
