Stewart; Dmrloted to the Chickasaw freedmen and therefore the terms of that agreement do not apply. Under an act of congress in 1902, forty acres or land were alloted to each freedman In the Chickasaw nation,.but the court holds that«congress never intended to give the freedman equal rights with the Indians.The opinion is given in the case on approximately 300 negroes who sought to enjoin the collection of taxes on their land by an order from the district court of Garvi\« county. Judge R. McMillan sustained a demurrer tothe plea of the petitioners, and his ruling Is sustained by the higher court.Another importan decision, dealing with the subject of taxation also was given by the court. It was by Justice F. E. Riddle, holding that county commissioners have lt;he authority to appoint competent persons to assist In placing omitted taxable property on the tax rolls of their counties.The opinion is given on the application of the Osage and Oklahoma company, which supplies gas to the city of Tulsa and other places in that part of the state. That concern asked for a writ of prohibition ro prevent C. H. Pittman, employed by Osage county as a tax ferret, and the county treasurer of Osage county from spreading on the tax rolls certain property alleged to be owned by the company and which has been omitted from taxation.The amount of property involved, including gas leases is estimated at more than $5,000,000.The gas company contended there was no authority of law by which a tax rferret could be employed. The court! holds that the county authorities are.charged with the responsibility ol seeing that all taxable property is assessed and taxed, and that the employment of persons to assist in plao Ing omitted property on the tax rolls can be done without conflicting wlti the constitution.40,000 Austrian* In 8ingle Grave,Amsterdam.—The Nieuwe Rotter damsche Courant quotes a letter fron a Galacian priest stating that 40,00!
