MORMON ELDERS SHOT.
Eight Sweet Girl Converts Made
Whip Each Other.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May IA
special from Vernon, Fla, says:
Two Mormon elders have been
tramping through Washington and
Holmes counties, distributing their
religious tracts. They went by
the names of ELDERS James and
Maxwell, and hailed from Utah.
They had proselyted to a con-
siderable extent, especially among
young unmarried women. They
secured a party of eight women to
go west with them, and left with
them last week.
Abram King, living six miles
from here, had two daughters in
the party. King and his son, with
his neighbors, one of whose wife
was with the Converts" pursued
the Mormons, and on capturing
them, tied them to trees, stripped
them, logged them numerically,
then let them loose and began
firing on them. The Mormons ran
into the swamp and haven't been
seen since, and it is believed that
they persisted.
The young women were brought
home, and every one of them was
well switched, their parents max
ing each one whip the other.

Nevertheless. I'll risk it, with SO

"No."

Card From Mclean.
To the Editor OF the Ledger.
Mexico, Mo-, May 13.-Please
allow me space through the col

few matters.
If the people knew that bank
stock had, for the last II years,
been assessed at 81 IL cents on the
dollar, and knew the law governing
its assessment, I know an explana-
ton would be unnecessary. The
law is this: Sec 1888 Revised
Statutes, says: Bank stock shall
be assessed as other personal prop
erty is assessed. Now there is but
one construction to this, namely:
If the live stock is assessed for less
than its full value, bank stock
shall be-and we know it is-hence
bank stock shall be. Now the value
of live stock at its assessed value,
which is one-third its real value, is
three dollars to one, or three times
the bank stock assessed at its full
value. Now the board had to raise
all the values of live stock accord
ing to the section of law just re-
ferred to or reduce the bank stock.
If 1--we stock be raised the
raise comes off of the farmer.
Now, which was best To raise
the value of the live stock (Which
was three times the other) or re-
duce the bank3 We did the latter,
making it a raise OF 2 IL per cent.
over former assessments. Again,
the law says the Board of Equali-
cation shall equalize the assess
ments in proportion. Now, with
private money and notes at full
value, sDank stock at 65 cents on
the dollar and real estate and live
stock at one-third its value, I
would ask you if it was in proper
tion2 1t certainly is not, hence
we placed private money and notes
on an equality with the bank. The
farmers give in over $685. 600 more
money and notes than all the banks
of the county. Then what class of
people are the most benefited?
The farmers of course. The banks
have formerly been allowed this
reduction; now the farmers have
have the same. Now, in regard to
some assessments at Rush Hill.
I will say I followed the law in each
and every particular and defy any
one to show the contrary. IF q
person fails to give in his property,
from neglect or through fraud, I
am not held responsible for it.
CIT Respectfully,
J.. Y. MCLEAN.
