The prairie Arcs that are now raging' in the northwestern part of the state, lashed on by a furions wind, are traveling with almost lightning-like rapidity and consuming everything in their track. Thursday night the blaze was driven through the central portion of Sheridan arfd Cherry1- counties and iwthc^Uhek wero the big Osborne and Spade ranch- es and a number of smaller ones. Yesterday morning not a vestige of these ranches remains except the bare and scorched ground. Late yesterday afternoon the tire is reported to have reached Pullman and the whole country in that neighborhood is a raging furnace.

To tlie Question of T.inv. "If the request thus framed is to be literally construed, it is out of my power to comply with it. The course to be pursued by your department, in the event specified, may invole matters of fact of which I have no knowledge and considerations of e "diency upon which I could not pa*- lent, I as* sumo, however, th . is mennt to he inquired abo\ question of law arising or sure to arise in the administration of your department and which may he thus stated.if the officers of the state of South Carolina undertake to cuter a United States bonded Xvurehouse and do not seize distilled liquors therein under the dispensary law of 1808, simultaneously tendering to tv collector of internal revenue any tax lawfully due on such liquors, is such action to be acquiesced in as not in conflict with any laws or rights of the United States. "1. The legal status of distilled liquors in a bonded warehouse of the United States and under the control of the collector of internal revenue is definitely stated and settled by section 014 of the revised statutes of the United States, which declare that 'all property taken or detained by ariy officer or other person under authority of any and blows followed. Town Marshal J. W. Thompson tried to stop the fitfht, when the pistol of one of the combatants was discharged. The bullet pierced his heart, killing him instantly.

Can lie Taia Only By Distiller. «inii VJAxtweil-not be held, as has been lS'.t-l, the taxes due on d'stilled liquors in a United States bonded warehouse can be paid only by the distiller. Whether that bo so or not, a tender of such taxes by a sheriff or other like state ofliecr is necessarily ineffectual as against the statute above quoted, since it is beyond the power of an internal revenue collector to accept it, and thus nullify the provisions and defeat the poilicj- of a statute which aims to absolutely exempt such liquors from the operation of the process of a state court. Such tender, which, for the reason stated, the collector Is incompetent to accept, must be also ineffectual because no ofliecr of South Carolina has been given the right or power to make it.the legislation of South Carolina not authorized any such tender, nor providing any fund which can be used for that purpose. "The result is that the provisions of the South Carolinn dispensary law -of 1803 must be regarded as ineffective and inoperative as against distilled liquors held in a United States bonded warehouse under the control of the collector of internal revenue.

Can lie Taia Only By Distiller.«inii VJAxtweil-not be held, as has beenlS'.t-l, the taxes due on d'stilled liquorsin a United States bonded warehousecan be paid only by the distiller.Whether that bo so or not, a tender ofsuch taxes by a sheriff or other likestate ofliecr is necessarily ineffectualas against the statute above quoted,since it is beyond the power of an internalrevenue collector to accept it,and thus nullify the provisions and defeatthe poilicj- of a statute which aimsto absolutely exempt such liquors fromthe operation of the process of a statecourt. Such tender, which, for thereason stated, the collector Is incompetentto accept, must be also ineffectualbecause no ofliecr of South Carolinahas been given the right or power tomake it.the legislation of South Carolinanot authorized any such tender,nor providing any fund which can beused for that purpose."The result is that the provisions of
the South Carolinn dispensary law -of1803 must be regarded as ineffectiveand inoperative as against distilledliquors held in a United States bondedwarehouse under the control of thecollector of internal revenue.
