From tho Phoebe Record. June l21
At present our County Assessor and
his efficient deputies are engaged In
collecting the taxes on all teams CON-
Ing into camp, where the owner Is un-
able to show a receipt from other
points. and many are the stratagems
and devices adopted to evade the pay
mont of such taxes. We have learned
of one case, however, where the team
ster, a Mormon, In endeavoring to
"beat" the assessor, had to pay three
or four times the amount which would
have been required Of him had the tax
collector interviewed him. Having
been cautioned as to what he might ex-
pect on arriving at Phoebe, he took the
precaution, just outside Of town, TO UNI
hitch his LEADERS" and picket them
out In the sagebrush. Arriving In
town, he was interviewed by the as
SCISSOR and by him requested to "come
down." which he did, ut the same time
chuckling to himself over his shrswd-
ness in having only paid half the mo.
ney that would otherwise have been
required Of him. lie disposed of his
kaluCti SASSs OSS.s III oIStICN W IT,
turn home. Arriving at the spot where
he had picketed his two mules, what
was his surprise and CONSERVATION to
find them gone! Avery diligent search
failed to reveal their whereabouts,
and our Mormon friend was In o guam
Diary. He promptly offered a reward
OF So for the return II the animals,
and in a short time they were forth
coming. The taxes which u hero,
whom we will call johnson for short,
would have been compelled to pay
to about %, whereas he came
out Of the transaction minus $25,
through an attempt to "get away
with the assessor. Ira says In future
he will not endeavor to avoid the pay
ment Of his taxes, as he considers 1t
the better and cheaper plan, AFTER the
he has had.

cation while gambling In II Of the
deus OH Sacramento street. One Of
them was lookout" for the game,
aud the other WAS an outside operator
against the institution. The latter
claimed that he was being cheated, de-
handed his rights, and these being re-
fused, he drew q pistol aud shot the
other In the abdomen. The shootist
then ran down town. followed by n
b~oisterously ~jabbering gang Of his
countrymen, but he outItrlpped all
pursuers, darted into the ravlne and
ran up Il, under Mrs. McClellan's mil
linery store. Although fair notice
was given that tho culprlt had with
him the pistol with which he had just
shot his compatriot, u mercantile
townsinan, Nadel, armed only with u
lighted candle, a clear conscience and
q superabundancs of heroism, dashed
into the darksome, l%abyrlnthlle abyss,
whence hs SOON dragged the blood
stained and bloodthirsty desperate.
A wild, uproarlous burst Of applause,
In which the Anglo Saxon huzzah,
Mongolian hubbub and Louisdallman-
I'm were inexpllcably blended, greet
ed the successful exploit OF the heroic
Nadel. The would-be murderer was
then escorted TO the Red Lion. Wend-
ing way to the scene of the ARRAY,
We found the bullet-pisrced victim
standing la the back end of the apart
ment, surrounded by n mixed thr0ng
OF white meri, Cllnamsn and boys,
very complacently attempting to sat
isfy their natural curiosity by 0blig-
ingly exhibiting "tlie hole tho envi0us
Casca made" Alter spending fifteen
or twenty minutes In this %philanthro-
pic manner, he retired to the back
room, taking the bullet hole with him,
and curled up OH a bcdless couch, pill
lowed his head on a small box, and
calmly awaited further developments.
By-and-by surgical assistance was sug-
gested, whereupon a halt-dozen Of his
shocked and sympathetic countrymen
caught him by the head and heels, car
ried him to the front Of Welles' drug
store, dumped him on the sidewalk,
aud returned to shed their tears Of sin
cerest sympathy In the silent stiffness
Of their several homes. Thereupon a
number of Caucasian "outslde barba-
rlansr carried the wounded man over
to Megerle's drug store, where DIR.
Todd probed the wound and removed
the bullet, which was found to have
glanced from the center toward the
left side, wherefore the wound Is not
considered mortal. And that Is all
about the affair.

goods of every description, which are her
aided to the public IN A. ming advertise

who have yet to lean that true economy"
consists in buying first class article fro
an established aud first class house For
example, pianos of various makers are offer

OF really first class manufacture. Among
the latter none are more deserving Of the

manufactured by Messrs WIN. knabs l. Co.,
of Baltimore, a firm which dates over a
third OF century, ana Whose Pianos for

ted improvements, to ne found in no other
instrument, made by the very best workmcn
and of strictly first class and seasoned ma
