A commentary recalls Bis marck legal staff with Mr Armstrong and references to Braddock Republicans. It parallels a tale of a viper thawing in a bosom and a lawyer suing a county where he once served, exploiting insider knowledge to harm the former employer. The piece questions loyalty and gratitude.
A list shows non residents hiring N A Armstrong Ed Allen and K N Stevens to dodge Emmons county taxes. Longtime residents who stayed and paid taxes faced higher land values as settlement grew, while tax fighters allegedly borrowed at high interest to meet obligations and sought court help to erode county records.
District court actions seek to overturn tax sale judgments under the Wood law for 1894 and prior years. Attorneys Allen Stevens F H Register and Armstrong represent landowners including Alexander McKenzie R B Mellon and Beiseker and Davidson in suits involving about 5000 dollars across fifteen land sections. The challenge tests constitutionality of the Wood bill, arguing it violates section 85 of the state constitution by allowing non judges to render judgments. Plaintiffs target defects in assessment and tax levies by county boards and use of percentages instead of specific amounts for several years. Non resident affiants include Calvin B McLean Hiram R Thompson Thomas A Wilson R B Mellon Alexander McKenzie Beiseker Davidson Jr Andrew W Mellon Emma C Cramm Leonidas H Lilly Broder B Moss Harry Gauger Nettie M Kelley and Samuel D Caldwell. Others act as affiants themselves Luther A Couch Richard H Thistlethwaite Isaac P Baker and Mary Thistlethwaite.
