ASSESSMENT MATTERS.
The Railroad to be Assessed Mt $4,000
Per Mile-The l. & D. l.. /. Co.'s As.
sessed Valuation.

ScSScu sAIuallOns
County Assessor Leonard wrote to
the Oregon Short Line headquarters,
this morning, to demand state ment
OF the quantity and valuation of the
colnpany's property within the boun-
DIARIES of Alturas County. He is of
the opinion that $4,000 u mile would
not be excessive. This would of
course mean $4,000 for SIDE tracks, as
the assessment on this class of prop
erty is usually half of what it is on the
main track. In Nevada the main
track of the Central Pacific and Vir.
GINA and Truckee railways were once
assessed $4,000 per mile, while the
slde-tracks were assessed at $4,000
per mile; but, while the companies
named paid this rate, it was claimed
by them to be arbitrary and unreason-
able-a view in which the people CO.
incided later.
The new HALEY Hotel, as it stood a
week ago, was assessed at $1,000.
This, to our notion, is too high by
half; but as the Hotel Company have
signi6ed their acceptance OF the va|u.
alton, we are doubtless wrong.
The Idaho & Oregon Land I'm.
provement Company, owners of the
HALEY TOWNSHIP, have not been as
sessed yet; but Assessor Leonard in
tends to assess their lots ut from s25
to 800 per lot. AS they own some
$500 lots here, which doubtless will
be averaged at $50 each, their as.
sessment will amount to the nice little
sum of *l25,OOO.
From present appearances, the total
valuation of HALEY property, for pur-
poses of taxation, will exceed $780,.
900. This will render the payment of
the special school tax unnecessary.

SHOOTING AT BULLION.

Two Miners Engage in 4 Wrangle and
Shoot 1t Out IN tile Street-Neither Of
them Is Hit but Bystandcr Is Shet II
the Mouth.
This morning Sheriff Furey re.
ceived message from Bullion which
struck him very oddly. 1t ran thus
BULLION, July Is.
CHARLES FusEy, Sheriff. Come ut
immediately. Shooting atfray. Crimi.
nal refuses to be arrested.
BoNuAM, Deputy Sheriff.
An officer was sent up.
The shooting ARRAY referred to was
between two miners employed at Bull
lion, Rourke and Scadden by name.
Rourke had been up all Monday night,
drinking, and felt or acted ugly.
Scadden was in front of Phelan g.
Hayes's saloon, and though almost per.
feet strangers the two men got into a
wrangle ending in opprobrious cpl.
thets. Scadden was armed, and, it is
stated, told Rourke that he could 90
heel himself. Rourke ran into the
saloon, took a pistol from behind the
bar and returned to the sidewalk.
Scadden had gone into the middle OF
the street, when Rourke opened fire.
The men exchanged shots. Scadden
had but three loads in his revolver,
and when he found them ineffective
he retreated to Harrington's saloon,
where Rourke followed him, firing
still. Coming up on him Rourke
knocked Scaddcn down, and beat him
over the head with his revolver, and
said it was now life or death. The
deputy Sheriff made no arrest, nor
did the 200 men at Bullion interfere,
but allowed Rourke to skip out of
camp. The Sherif1's deputy is out
after him, but Rourke is doubtless
brush-hiding, and may escape. Scad-
den was arrested and lodged in Jail,
but this afternoon was given permits
sion to his friends and secure $4,000
bonds to appear at 10 a. m. tomorrow,
before Justice Lennon, for trial.
Scadden has brother on Deer creek
and another on Warm Spring creek
both working in the mines-and
has sent for them.
The action of Deputy Sheriff Bon
ha n at Bullion, and of the citizens,
in not arresting Rourke, is severely
criticised. especially as the Deputy
Sheriff was notified by the criminal
that he refused to be arrested. The
shooting occurred at 4:45 D. m.
yesterday.
The wounded man, Pete Hynes,
was looking from Dave McKinnev's
door. He is 45 years of age, and is
very much respected as man and
brother miner by everyone Of the
miners in Bullion, being quiet and
intelligent man. The physicians were
probing for the bali to-day, having
had Hynes removed to the County
Hospital. Hynes is native Of New
York, and has been some time in
Wood River.
sCADDEN's STATEMENT.
Samuel Scadden was taken before
Justice Lennon this afternoon to
plead, and said: 81 was standing in
Phelan & Hayes's store. Rourke
started to abuse me. Words multi
Piled, and Rourke ran to Dan. Har.
ringtons, got gun and returned.
He started shooting at me. l fired
three shots-all l had. Rourke fired
five. Rourke was standing outside Of
Harrington's saloon while shooting,
and was in the middle of the street.

The wife of Thompson who killed
Davis. in Kentucky, now claims that
she was not criminally dealt with by
the latter, and he was innocent. 1t
would seem that Thompson was alto.
gether too hot blooded.-Madelia Times.
The whole trouble seems to have been
brought about by fast and revengeful
young woman, \ female 1age, who play
ed upon the parties until Thompson
murdered Dsyis in cold blood. We say
cold blood because it was done so de-
liberately and after months Of time for
any passion to cool. Thompson will
take his seat in Congress to be honored
while his victim dies and his family s
harp: ness is blasted for life. But such
is Kentucky law, or rather Kentucky
sentiment. If there is enough to make
q man jealous, whether it be well
founded or net, whether it be melted
by fact or falsehood, that is enough in
the eyes Of Kentucky jury and Ken
tucky community, to justify one mar
in shooting down another whenever he
can get the drop on him from behind
But Congressman Phil Thompson is 9
bloody murderer nevertheless, and j.
just as dangerous a man to be at larg.
AZ any man who kills another under
provocation. =: g.

errNtic sheet Bro. Miller has ever issued.

Mistaken again. The ADVANCE has
published hundreds of better issues
than that particular one. There was q
little more railroad and building news
than usual and That was all. Tie Ap-
VANCE has written up'' every enter.
prise in this county AZ fast as it ma.
'ttriaiized, and has given more county
news regularly, winter and summer,
than any country paper on its exchange
list.
Recently when the Herald was brag.
ging 80 on itself and its news, we look.
I'd, just for curiosity, over its news.
1t had Il good number of Luverne locals
and AL outside batch of news from
Beaver Greek, we believe it was. We
then turned to the ADVANCE of the
same week and counted nearly sixty
separate news items from 4 number OF
townships, all classified under town
ship headings and packed into a little
over column of space. And this was
only one department. The others wer,
equally full.
The fact is the ADVANCE is so ex.
ceptionally good in all departments that
people look for u first-class issue every
week, and ii it falls a little balOw No.
