LEES MURDERER CONVICTED.
On Judge Stoves Charge, Allen is a Secon
Degree Assassiu,

In the Criminal Court, yesterday morning.
Judge Stowe delivered the charge to the jury
in the Allen murder case. The charge was an
impartial one. The Judge stated at one point
that the verdict could not be manslanghter be-
cause the evidence did not show that any vio-
lence had preceded the shooting. The jury
retired at 1890.
At O'Clock in the afternoon an agreement
was reached, verdict rendered guilty of muir
der in the second degree. Allen received the
verdict in very cool manner.

The Review states that "the
taking of testimony before the Sc
attic land office in the case of the
United States vs. Gov. Algcc ct al,
vas finished Friday, after running
three months. IL that time there
was only one continuance or al
IJournment OF week, and only
about six other days that the case
was not mp for hearing. The evil
dence is very v0lu5ninous, covering
as it does, about $500 closely type
written pages, each page averaging
300 words, which it will be the
duty OF Register Reed and Re
celver Hayden to pcruse and upon
THIS formulate an opini,n, which
Will be forwarded together with
the evidence to the general land
office in Washington City" A
number of people in this Vicinity
are impatient to learn the outcome
Of the contest. 1t is improbable
that lands good for the purpose Of
agriculture, can be held by the
timber act, especially under any
contest, In the event of the gov
eminent being successful, mum Der
of settlers will light upon large
body OF land back Of Shelton, which
was taken up and is held under
the timber land act.

poor, or become directly or indi-
rectly tie owner Of any stock in or
bonds of any association. The
amendment contemplated will pro-
vide that municipal corporations
may Issue bonds to the extent of a
reasonable per centum OF assessed
valuation Of their property, which
fund shall be used as the author
tics direct, with tao assent Of a
majority Of the electors.
The circular continues and says
that the present system OF collect
ing taxes is unnecessarily oncrous
upon the taxpayer without any re
deeming feature tending to lessen
the unjust burden thus created.
The sheriff or other duly author
lied collector should he required to
visit each votinr precinct for the
purpose of collecting taxes due,
after having advertised the date
of such visit, and thus save to the
taxpayer the expense and loss Of
time necessary under the present
requirements. The clerk of each
school district should be made the
treasurer also Of his district, tn rs
affording tie district the advan-
tage Of handling its own finances
instead OF extending this privilege
to the county as at present. 1t is
desired to secure such revision of
these laws as will favor taxpayers
rather than to privilege capital to
prey upon their interests through
the laXity of unwholesome statutes.
