Milroy Township Citizen Refuses to Work Out Tax.

Squire Gaffield, of Milroy township, is this afternoon trying a lawsuit of more than ordinary interest. Albert Fitzhugh ,an English resident of that township, refused to obey the orders of the road and work out his poll tax, amounting to $3. The road supervisor appealed to Trustee Foulks, who is required by law to bring action against any person who refuses to work out the tax. He gave Fitzhugh an opportunity to do before starting the action but again was refused. Fitzhugh has lived in Milroy township for some time and owns 40 acres at a cross roads. He is unmarried and recently erected a new house, putting it right in the center of the 40 instead of at the crossroads. The outcome of the case will be watched with interest.
