Armstrongs Affidavit of 1891 Land Tax List Irregularities
Henry A. Armstrong asserts that in 1891 through 1894 land was described and taxed by Emmons County improperly. He charges arbitrary assessments, grossly excessive levies by county and state boards of equalization, missing itemized expense statements, and illegal school district levies. The affidavit argues the sheriff sale under a judgment is void and that the landowner has a strong defense based on county and state records.

Tax title scheme touted by attorney in 1899 letter
The document cites H A Armstrong of Williamsport North Dakota arguing that tax sale lands will yield absolute title after December 7 1899 and that purchasing at sheriff sale or county assignment is a very safe investment. He notes redeemable lands, two percent monthly charges, and urges prompt investment as market for the lands grows. The letter references county seat moves and pending litigation.

Armstrong's Complaint Against County Tax Levy Officals
The document accuses county officers of illegal tax levies from 1885 to 1894, except 1888, detailing failures by commissioners auditors and assessors. It notes school boards, the state board of equalization, and state legislature as involved. It questions why Armstrong did not inform them earlier and points to the state’s attorney as the legal adviser to officials. The text also mentions Armstrong serving as paid legal adviser for several years.
