OMAHA DAILY B RUNDAY NOVEMBER DECLARES THE TAX INVALID Judge Munzer Ho'ds School Distriot Illega 1y Assessed River Bridge AWARDED PLAINTIFF IS JUDGMENT Deciston Fixes Point of Division in River Beyond Which Dakota County Cannot with Its Tax. down Judge Munger yesterday handed his opinfon In the case of the Sloux City | Bridge Company against No. 11 of Dakota county, Nebruska, which gives judgment for the plaintiff The case was argued before the United Btates circuit court about two weeks ago. The complairants sought to enjoin the col- lection of certain taxes levied by the school dlstrict on the west half of the Sfoux City bridge which spans the Missourl river be- tween South Sioux City, Neb., and Sloux City, Tn., the west end of the bridge being near to If not within the boundaries of scheol district No. 11 Ir Dakota county, Nebraska. The school district levied and attempted to enforce a collection of a tax on the west half of the bridge as its pre- sumed right to assess all property in the district. The action of the complainants Is based on the proposition that none of the bridge 18 embraced In the school district, and is not subject to taxation in behalf of the district The case is submitted on an agreement between the parties that the bridge proper 18 1,614 feet long from the east to the west end, excluding approaches, and that from the west end of the bridge to the fourth pler is 4 distance of 400 feet, and that the west half of the bridge has been assessed and taxes levied thereon for school dis- trict purposes since 1804, School Distri: Declares Taxes Invalid, In his decision Judge Munger says: “Ap- plying the rule of law as above announced, the court finds that the dividing line be- tween the states of Town and Nebraska at the point where the bridge crosses the river is at the fourth pler, 400 feet easterly from the west end of the bridge. It ap- pears from the facts that the school dis- trict has assessed the entire west half of the bridge, or 807 feel, 407 teet of the bridge 80 assessed being clearly, as shown by the facts, outside of sald school district. The assessment of the bridge and approach was made as an entirety, hence, in conformity with & previous decision of the supreme court of Nebraska, there is no method by which the portion of the bridge within and without the taxing district can be sepa- rated and the tax must be declared as in- valld. The whole must therefore be de- clared fllegal, and it follows that the com- platnant bridge company s entitled to a decree perpetually enjoining thée enforce- ment and collection of the tax com- plained of.” The decision doés not bar the school dis- trict; however, from beginning another ac- tion to levy and collect taxes on that por- tion of the bridge which may be justly con- sidered within the taxing jurisdiction of the district, Chicago Laundry—Best work.

UNABLE TO FIND THE DRIVER Officers Do Not Loecate ayer, but Coroner’s is Hel! Cruthers’ Recelving no assurance from the police that the apprehension of the man who nm down J. A. Cruthers, an aged oarpe last Bunday night, injuring him beyond re covery, would come soon, Coroner Bralley summoned & jury at 11 a. m. and proceeded to hold an Investigation on his own ac- count. All the witnesses to the accident that have been found were present, and beyond confirming the description of the horse and rig, now in the hands of the police, could offer no light on the manner of Cruthers' death. The jury returned a verdict that: “Deceased came to his death from in- Juries recelved by a collision with a horse driven by an unknown man." The police are still searching for the “unknown' driver, but entertain little hope of ascertaining his identity. Witnesses at the inquest could not describe the driver and what little evidence was adduced in the connection was vague and conflicting. WATCH SAVES MAN'S LIFE Deflects Bullet Fired at Trainman in Effort te Mol Up Express. CHICAGO, Oct. %i.—Efforts to hold up a fast outbound Chicago & Northwestern passenger train went astray last night, it 18 belleved by. the police, owing to the poor marksmanship of one of the bandits. Fireman Louis Ernest was shot, one bul- let grazed Engineer Harry Ebbets and to- day five dynamite bombs were found near the scene of the attack. Detectives of the rallroad and the police are working on the case, but no clue to the identity of the man or men who did the shooting has been un- earthed. It is admitted by the rallway officlals that the bullets must have been fired by one or more persons who were riding on the water tank or the platform of the first coach. The unknown men made their es- cape In the darkness. The life of the fireman, who was seriously wounded, was saved by his watch, which defleéted one of the bullets. R. V. COLE. W. M. MCKAY.
