Abundant lustifi- cation for the strictness required by courts in respect to . tax sales is pointed out by Justice McBride of the supreme court, In an opinion given this morning in which the decree of Judge Knowles, 0f the circuit court from Union county, i3 affirmed and an unfortunate woman, who has been an Inmate in the Insane asylum since April, 1896, is restored to her prop erty rights of which she was depriv ed by means of a defective sale for delinquent taxjs, The opinion was given in the case of Rachel J. Raf ferty, an insane person by A. D. Buz zard, her guardian, respondent vs. A. B. pavs, appellant, " When A. D, Buzzard was appointed guardian of Mrs. Raffertv'H stati. in September, 1907, he immediately uosan proceedings for the annull. ment of the tax aal tha nrnnarfv having been bid in by Davis for $13.70, and the county court having delivered over to Davis a certificate of sale to the land, and to recover six years rental for the property from Davis at $150 Der year or QftO An examination of the evidence and rec ords discloses that the wholo nrn ceedings from the assessment to the final sale are more or less defective and irregular nnd simply amount to tailing of the property away from one person and giving it to another. Justice McBride says these proceed ings are the more deplorable when an insane and defenseless woman Js made the victim of the transaction.

Fined For Fishing With Grab Hook Firtt Conviction In County Under New Law License For Everybody.- The above case Is of general In terest to the people of this county as another Illustration of the usual defectiveness of tax titles nH at special interest because the parties to the suit are known to many res! dents here. D. W. Sheahan of Enter Prise won the case for the guardian, and ex-Clrcult Judge T. H Crawford of La Grande and L. J. Davis of union represented the appellant, i v f -.., nuu iiiuiiiiiie ill 111BL I i m nn canroaontAj U .. Mew teiirit in The first conviction under the new fishing law was secured by Deputy district Attorney Dill atJo3eph, Tues day, when J. T. Sutton was fined $23 and costs for catching a trout with a graD nook. The new law absolutely forbids the catching of trout with any thing except hook and line, Sutton was found at th lakn bv Mp. Dill and Deputy Game Wardan jClemons in po3seision of a trout that nad been caught with a hook at the end of a po!e. Sutton claimed the fish had not been caught in the lake or within 300 feet of the lake, and Uie Rusk law was not therefore vio lated. This was true but the Eeneral law was, as such fishing is prohibited in any stream. The trial was by jury before Justice Sheets at Joseph aud result ed in a verdict of guilty. Clerk Boatman and Deputy Bilyeu are having their troubles these days. i The attorney general has interpreted (the new fishing law as requiring everybody, old and young, to take out; an anglers license. The only differ ence Is that boys under 15 don't have j to pay for theirs, and Boatman and jBIlyeu are kept busy filling out' blanks for the lads. County Surveyor II. E. Merryman Is working on the papers for three changes on the Ant Flat road, that will In the aggie .rate rerhiCB thP Us. tance between Enterprise and Sled Springs and the entire North Coun try over oneha'f mile, and very materially better the road by elimi nating the worst Willi and making other grades les-i. The first change Is at the north end of Ant flat where a straight route onnoith over the Flathers Bros, land will be followed, instead of the quarter mile jog to the east. This mange shortens the road one-half mile and betters the grade. At the L. P. Wright place, nine miles north of town, a change will bi made to avoid a steep hill, leaving the road on a water grade. Thu change will also shorten t.h mmi from 12 to 18 rods. The third change Is on the W. F. Rankin place, and is beine Dialled so that the county can acquire the land on which the new route is already graded. If in addition to those changes, sev eral sharp pitches would be done uiil as a result of evidence given by a witness fo the defense In the preliminary hep-lug of E. T. Schluer of Joseph, Wednesday.

The District Ep worth League con vention which was to have been held here June 24-27. has been called off by the district executive committee. The district president of the Enworth i'League, Mrs. Cates, of Baker City, has been 111 and was unable to arrange the DrOKram. In addition tn this the fact that two other Methodist events. occur soon, the Sunday school con vention at Boise June 18-20. and tha International Epworth League con vention at Seattle July 7-12, renders it Impracticable to get the speakers or the delegates at the desired time. For these reasons the executive com mittee has decided to give up the district convention for this year. Sunday Services. Services, M. E. church: Sunday school at 10 a. m.
