told the other directors he need
ed $4,000 shares of stock Ito take
care of certain people" insult

Decree Gives County
Possession of Land

A decree has been issued by dis
trict judge c. B. Elwell OF Havre
unfolding the pleading of Vernon
Hoven. county attorney, that land
In Hill county. owned by Sheridan
county, could not be held for taxes
The parcel of land, something
over a half section. had been turned
over to Sheridan county by the Bel
seeker interest together with other
lands in North Dakota, In settle
ment OF claims the county had
against Mr.. Beiseker's banks. Hill
county had proceeded to take the
land on tax deed. Attorney Hoven
commended that inasmuch as the
Ian was owned within the state.
1t was not subject to taxation, be-
tween political subdivisions. Judge
ElWell upheld the contention, and
unless the case is carried to the
supreme court, Sheridan county nov
has clear title to the land.
