EVENING SESSION.
There was quite a number of heavy citi-
zens present, who thought they we're
being cinched. A lively time ensued.
Mr.. Sadler appeared and asked to have
his taxes reduced as stated in the minutes
of the afternoon session.
Chairman Campbell put the motion
whether the question should be reopened.
The motion was lost; Campbell and Smith
voting no, and Mikel yes.
Il. Sadler then said he would protest
against the reduction on the Richmond
taxes, by which the ''lead pile" WAS ex-
empted from assessment.
Mrs. Dennis wanted a reduction to
$4,000, saying she had offered it for sale at
that price, and she couldn't pay taxes on
any more. She said she was just the same
as a widow, anyway, and she could claim
a reduction of 81, 900. Mr.. Campbell sug-
gested that she would have to take oath to
her ~widowhood, which she declined to do.
P. N. Hansen wanted to be reduced on
some lots from 81 200 to $500.
Mr.. Mikel said no. The Board had re-
fused some and they would have to refuse
all.
assessor Wallace said he couldn't see
the force of this. Every mans statement
should be heard and considered.
Application rejected.
L. w. Cromer asked for reduction from
81 600 to $1,000, alleging depreciation Of
value and damage by the recent fire.
Damages rated at $500 and reduction
made accordingly.
John s. Capron appeared, he said, for
the first time before q Board Of Equaliza-
ton. Thought he was not worth $50, 1893,
and wanted a reduction to $50, Goo. He
thought Assessor Wallace had damned"
him a little.
Mr.. Wallace said he had assessed Mr..
Capron closely, but maybe he put on a
little because he was a 'Muldoon," and
these "Muldoons" have little things
around that you can't get at very readily.
No reduction allowed.
Here Mrs. Dennis reappeared on the
scene, and, being sworn by the Clerk, tes-
titled that she thought she was a widow.
She found out her mistake before the
meeting was over.
Mr.. Campbell to Mrs. Dennis-Are you
a widow?
MIo. NCtiy a 4 aIl Alotb l. oo1 I
know what you'll call me.
The Board ordered John T. Baker called.
Auditor Molinelli inquired if the Board
thought John #. Baker could tell.
Hon. Geo. w. Baker appeared for his
brother to examine Mrs. Dennis, to deter
mine if she is a widow.
Mrs. Dennis said she ought to be a
widow. She had been alone for ten years,
and without aid from her husband. Not
divorced.
''Then," said Mr.. Baker, ''you are not
a widow. Still, l believe the record will
show that you were divorced in Austin"
81 don't know about that. Bob Beatty
don't think the papers were legal"
Y. s. Douglas, reduced from S1,40O to
81, 200.
Here J. S. Wilton asked if he went out
for a moment whether his taxes would be
raised. Being smilingly assured in the
negative, he skipped out.
R. Ryland claimed a reduction Of $1,000
on the assessment of the Opera House,
bringing it down to $4,000.
Assessor Wallace thought reduction Of
3d. 600 would be right.
Commissioner Mikel thought So, 900 re-
duction would be right.
Commissioner Campbell thought the de-
probation complained Of is universal, but
the poor had to suffer in the same way.
The latter do not complain. They do not
appear before the Board. He s~ympathised
with Mr.. Sadler, Mr.. Remington, Mr..
Capron and all.
Mr.. Rylaud (excitedly) Il don't want
any Of your sympathy. l want only JUS
tice. The Assessor admits his mistake in
my case, and I demand the reduction;
but / own only one-third in the building,
and I don't care whether you give me the
reduction or not.
1t was voted, as before. that zone OF the
| cases passed upon should be reopened.
There was great feeling at this point,
and Clerk Buttlar put his high stool
among the disaffected for use as a kicking
| post. They spurned it, however, as Mr..
Ryland had rejected the sympathy OF the
| Board.
W. H. Remington claimed a reduction
stock of hardware, bringing it down to
SIT, 900.
Assessor Wallace said he had not made
a mistake, and he considered the S20, OOO
q proper assessment.
Mr.. Remington claimed an error in q
double assessment Of 50, 900 ON an invoice
of powder.
Mr.. Campbell said as he felt kindly TO
our fellow citizens he would put the
| question to q vote.
Campbell and Smith. mol Mikel' YES
Motion lost.
Mr.. Ryiand offered his sympathy" to
Mr.. Remington.
R.. Sadler introduced the following Pc
tition written OFF extempore: To the Hon.
Board of County Commissioner OF Eu-
reka County, acting as a Board of Equall-
cation of said county, l, the undersigned
