In 1880 the Assessor Of Ormsby County
assessed the Carson Savings Bank on loans
secured by mortgages on real estate. The
officers of the bank claimed that this was
double taxation, and refused to r~y the
taxes assessed against it. The Board of
Commissioners brought suit in the Dis
triot Court for the recovery of the taxes,
and the case was decided, in favor of
the State. The bank appealed to the
Supreme Court, which affirmed the judg-
ment Of the District Court, and left the
bank no further recourse in law. Now,
tho Index says, the bank offers to pay the
original tax, which was 81, S45 30, without
tho penalties and costs, which amount TO
$3.50 mora. The Board Of Commissioners
have the matter under consideration, one
OF it's members being decidedly opposed to
RENTING the penalty. while the others are
non-oommittai. Til District Attorney Is
opposed to remitting the penalty. as he
holds that the county in prosecuting the
case was subjected to as great an expense
as the bank. The question which in
terests the people Of the State at large,
however, is that the Courts have decided
that mortgages on real estate are subject
to taxation the same as other property, a
fact which Assessors will doubtless bear in
mind when making up the assessment rolls

appeal. Jan. O.


Governor Adams and Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Lsughton took the official oath in
the Governors Office yesterday morning.
Governor Kinkead made a few parting re-
marks in a we'll worded and most appro-
pirate style, which was responded to in a
brief speech by Governor Adams. The
two incoming officers were sworn in by
Chief Justice Hswley. 1t was altogether a
very pleasant ceremony.
When the caucuses broke up on Sunday
night the members had to thread their way
through a dense crowd Of youngsters, who
were applicants for the positions Of Mes
senger and Page. When about 60 boys
found they were left, they held an indigna-
ton meeting, and took measures to call a
Constitutional Convention to change the
laws so as to provide two Pages for each
| Assemblyman.
Taken az a whole, the members Of the
| Legislature are the best and most intelli-
| gent looking body Of men that have met
here in many years. Judging from their
| appearance it is not unsafe to predict that
they will not waste the States time.
The youngest members OF this Legisla-
| ture are Assemblyman Muldoon of Eureka,
| aged az gears; Assemblymen Howell Of
Lincoln, aged 80 years, and Aasemblyman
Hardin Of Humboldt, aged 26 years.
During the coming GO days numerous
irst-class companies will appear at the
| Opera House. 1t il also said that the
operate medley which was so successfully
produced and enthusiastically received at
| Miss Nellie Parkinson's benefit, will again
be given this Winter.
Richard A. Rieppe, Democratic Assem-
| blyman from Lincoln, never took an intox-
icating drink in his life, nor was ever
| addicted to the use Of tobacco. He is
disowned by the members Of his political
complexion.
Assemblyman ]. W. Smith, a gentleman
extremely popular at Eureka, is chartered
at the Ormsby House, and Senator j.
Minor Taylor has apartments at the Ar
lington.

A MAN SHOT.
The Folly of Pooling with Fire
arms Supposed to be Empty.

arms Supposed to be Empty.
Last night about 7 O'Clock an italian
named Fedele Rolanti went into George
Young's gunsmith shop to purchase some
cartridges for his pistol. Mr.. Young was
not in, but the boy James Lucey, who is
in his employ. waited upon him. There
was one chamber of the pistol empty, and
in this the boy fitted a cartridge and then
handed the weapon and the box containing
the rest Of the cartridges to the purchaser.
Asa Green was in the shop and asked to
look at the pistol with a view to proposing
a swap. He did not like the looks Of Fe-
dele's pistol, however, and laid it upon a
table at the end of the showcase, while
Fedele was paying for the cartridges. Hav-
ing received the money for the cartridges,
james Lucey came around from behind the
counter, picked up the pistol and began
t1ourishing it about and discharged it.
Green and Rolanti were standing only a
few feet from him, in front of him. The
latter received the ball in the chest, in
front OF the right arm. Green assisted
him down to the William Tell House, kept
by the Maginni brothers, where DR.. Thoma
was called, and probed for the ball unsuc-
eessfully. 1t cannot be determined yet
whether the wound is fatal, but it is GER
taln!y of a very serious sort. The Doctor
thinks the ball has not entered the lungs,
as the patient has no trouble in breathing
and splits no blood. Mr.. Young tells ua
that he has frequently warned the boy
Lucey against a practice he has Of
displaying pistols for sale by brand
ishing and swapping them. LOADED,
or unloaded,'' he would say, s'it is
better not to snap them down, for if they
are not loaded it is bad. You injure the
weapons" But he says all his talking was
OF no avail to the needless boy, who per-
sisted in disobeying orders, and now will
have more serious cause for reflection than
he has ever before had in his life. The
shooting was doubtless purely accidental,
but if the victim Of the boys folly should
prove to be fatally wounded it will be a
lesson learned by him from his Needless
ness that he will never forget. Lucey will
be arrested to-day. in order that the cir
cumstances of the shooting may be ascer-
tanned in a legal manner by examination
in the Justice Court,

1t would seem that miners have enough
perils to encounter without the added
danger Of the breaking Of the machinery
by which they are lowered into and drawn
up from the mines, yet in Prussia 90 per-
sons were killed recently by the fall Of c
cage in the shaft Of the Hsrdenberg mine,
caused by the breaking Of . chain. Ex-
plosions of gas and the caving in Of the
roofs and walls of mines may sometimes
be unavoidable accidents, though oxpe-
rience has shown that they can be pre-
vented by the exercise Of sufficient care,
but it is easy to test the strength of a chain
and to ascertain when it is wearing out.
