TERRITORY OE IDAHO,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.,
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Oficial Busiless.l
Boise City, Idaho, April Is, 'SS.
To the District Attorneys and assessors of the
Several Counties:
Gentlemen-Your attention is re.
specially called to the provisions of
Chapter Four Of Title Ten Of the
Political Code as to the assessment of
property for taxation.
Section l425 expressly requires
that all taxable property shall be as
sessed AT ITS FULL CASH VALUE, and
that Cha pier gives ample power to
the Assessor to enable him to ascer-
tain all taxable property in his county,
while Section 1870 prescribes very
stringent affidavit to be taken by
the taxpayer, and Section 1882 au-
thorzes the Assessor to subpoena and
examine witnesses, SO that in most
cases any omission must be "through
his wil!,ui failure or neglect" within
the terms of Section 1457, and sub
iect the Assessor al d his suretes to
the penalties of that and the succeed.
ing sections.
1t is notorious that Assessors in any
counties avowedly assess both real
and personal property, and in some
cases even money and public and
other securities, at for' y.6ve or fifty
per cent. of their known and &C.
kpowledged cash value. Such course
is in direct violation of the official
duty of Assessors and no such officer
can truthfully make oath to his assess
ment book as required by Section 1853
of the Revised Statutes.
If such wiltul ,iolatian Of plain of
fetal duty is persisted in and the dis
graceful evasions of law shown by
the assessments of last year are at
tempted to be repeated this
year, it will become the duty
Of the District Attorney to CON-
mence All action to remove any such
Assessor from office as provided by r..
S. 170G, and in proper case to in
st;tute criminal proceedings and an
action against the officer and his
surities under r. S. 1857 and SUISSE
quent provisions.
District Attorneys will please report
to this Office the condition Of this and
all other public business intrusted to
their charge, at twelve o'clock noon,
on the first day Of June next, as pro.
vided by subdivision 5 of Section $50
r. s.
Very respectfully,
RICHARD u. JOHNSON,
Attorney General.

When the new home was reached the

later a second child died, it was also
embalmed and kept above ground.
In these seventeen years the family
has moved q number of times, al
ways carrying their dead with them. The
bodies were carefully coffined and sacred
ly protected. Few of their neighbors
knew Of the CHASTITY treasures in their
house. Recently the SCOTS went to
Rome, when a month g a third child
died, and the body was embnlmed az
usual. The SCOTS having resolved to per.
manently reside at Rome, it was decided
to bury the three corpses, which was
done a few days ago at Sandy Springs
cemetery, an immense crowd being pres

bodies were very much like Egyptian
mummies in appearance. The SCOTS are

to the scene of the tragedy and viewed
the premises.
On returning, Ferris was examined. He
said he came to New York seventeen
years 6 from California, and is a
broker. He first met Mrs. Scofield in
1853, and knew her then as Mrs. Capt.
Stowell. Actor John Mccullough intro
duced them. He first met Hatch last
February in q business matter, the intro
duction of a patent typewriter. They
discovered the mutual acquaintance with
Mrs. Scofield, and Mr.. Hatch spoke adj
miringly of her as a witty and business
like woman. The object in asking the
detective to watch Hatch and Mrs. SEQ
field was mere curiosity.
The coroner asked several times what
motive Ferris had in the detective work.
Ferris each time insisted that there
was no motive except curiosity. He
grew uneasy and excited, and finally de-
clared that the coroner might ask ques-
tions all his life and not get any different
answer. He testified that after leaving
the restaurant he went home and was
first appraised of the trouble by a nete
from Lawyer Buck.
The jurors annoyed Mr.. Ferris very
much by their pertinent questions, such
as whether he and MIS-. Scofield took ad-
vantage of their mutual acquaintance to
inveigle wealthy men into their schemes.
He showed great indignation in shouting;
"No," to such questions.
The coroner held him in 80, 900 bail to
appear through the remaining sessions of
the inquest, and in default of it he went
to the house of detention.

DENVER, Col, May 15.-Advices from
Fountain, the scene of the Santa Fe rail
way accident, states that train No. Z,
known as the tThunderbolt,t arrived at
Fountain at BAL u. M, and had only
been standing q few minutes when a ca
boose and some cars, the brakes of which
had got loose In some way, ran down
from a side track and struck the train
with terrible force. One car was loaded
with naptha, which exploded, throwing
the oil over everything and setting the
train on fire. The trainmen showed the
nninjured cars back from the wreck and
were trying to save the depot, when it
was discovered that two cars were
standing on the main track. The
nearest one was burning and was
tagged powder. Shortly afterward
the car exploded, completely demolish-
ing the depot, several dwellings and q
number of cars. One dwelling and the
depot were consumed. Three persons,
one woman and two men, were killed by
the explosion, and some twelve or fifteen
persons were wounded, none very seri-
onsly. There is q hole in the ground
where the cars stood, about thirty feet In
diameter and fifteen feet deep. Twocars
were burned and sixteen, together with
the locomotive, were more or less
wrecked. 1t is supposed that tramps let
OH the brakes from the car.
