Baker, Marion tp 6 72 Same, Rensselaer 5 05 —O — Remington will probably realize quite a little out of the tax-fer-ret investigation, as the amount paid in at the county treasurer’s office does not include Remington’s tax, that corporation collecting its own taxes.

Jasper Guy, attorney for plff. —o — The omitted tax case against F. R. Curtis and family of Remington, was up yesterday.
