would like to make little eXplana-
ton for the benefit Of the readers
of the AGITAToR, and more especial
ly for the people of Welda town
ship. I understand that am
charged with having raised the
assessment of j. M. Ramsey's
horses and in order to make this
understood, | will have to begin at
the first transaction. In assessing
Mr.. Ramsey's horses, which were
ten in number, and among these
were four three-year-old colts that
did not take in at the basis, which
was $40. Mr.. Ramsey showed me
one that was at the stable, and said
it was a fair sample of the others,
and that all four had the distemper.
The three being back on the farm, |
did not 60 to see them but this
one at the stable was in bad shape;
nearly dead with distemper. So 1
thought if the other three were in
no better shape than this one, they
ought not to go in at the basi:-$4O
that being the basis for good,
sound three-year-old colts. If | re-
member right, l took them at about
$25 each, and thought was doing
him an act of kindness, just as |
would have him do to me under
similar circumstances. Mr.. Ramsey
expressed satisfaction at this. Now
for the other side of the question
| went to Mr.. VIM. Brownrigg, liv-
ing in the same neighborhood, and
assessed two or three, | disrsmem-
which, horses OF the same age and
size, only in good condition and
sound, at the basis. A few days
passed, when Mr.. Brownrigg came
to me and wanted to either raise the
assessment on Mr.. Ramsey's horses
or cut his (Brownrigg's) down. |
told him | could not do either, as his
horses were in good health and con-
dition; his neighbours were not, and
that l thought l had done about
what was right in the case. Mr..
Brownrigg told me if | did not put
his horses down, or raise Mr.. Ram
sey's horses, he would appear be-
fore the commissioners and at the
same time said he did not find fault
with the assessment of his property,
but thought they were assessed low
enough So, when the commission
ers met to equalize, Mr.. Brownrigg
was there, and made his complaint
known, and the result was, Mr.
Ramsey's horses were raised $50.
Now, then, | want it understood
that | did not raise this assessment,
as | had turned my books all over
to the county clerk some time be-
fore, and if there is any one who
doubts my word, please SO to my

BEATEN BY GAMBLER.
Ex-Policeman James Cave Tackles .
Bold SIAN and Is Done Up.

At / o'clock this morning a alteration
occurred between Ex-Policeman James Cave
and Ii. r. Bats, gambler, which
came very near terminating seriously
for Cave. Cave had been drinking freely and
was very abusive. In front of the Turf saloon,
at the corner of South Second and Washington
streets, he came across Bats, who
was standing near an electric light
pole smoking cigar. Without provocation
Cave commenced to abuse him. applying to him
the yilest of epithets. When Bats grew angry,
Cave pulled his nose. Bats attempted TO resent
it, when Cave flashed deputy United states
marshal's badge on him, and placing his hand
on the handle of his revolver. he said:
'Ifou - -, III kill your'
The words were scarcely ont of his mouth
when Bats delivered blow with his cane
striking Cave squarely between the eyes almost
knocking him senseless
Bystanders then disarmed the drunken man,
who continued abusing Bats until he WIS led
of down the street The alteration occasioned
quite a deal of excitement and for time the
thoroughfare was blocked with gamblers and
people who happened to be out late.

Farms, Homes, Mortgages in Kansas.

WASHINGTON City, Sept. 23.-Superin-
tendent Porter, of the census bureau, has
made public additional statistics as to
farms, homes and mortgages in Kansas
According to results obtained direct by
agents of the census Office from Off
cial records of MUNICIPALITIES
and counties, it appears that a re-
corded real estate mortgage debt of
$4S2, 699, 400, excluding state and railroad
land contracts, was incurred in Kansas
during the decade from 1880 to 1889, a
large portion of which has been paid. OF
this $343, 26S, 234, or s71.11 per cent of the
total, was on incumbered acres, which are
almost entirely agricultural, and the re-
malnder on incumbered lots of villages,
cities or other real estate. The total
number of mortgages recorded during
the ten years was 620,049 of which
$415,622 or 67.03 per cent. were on acreage,
and the remainder on lots The existing
debt of the state on January 1, 1890, Sc
cured by real estate mortgage aside from
state and railroadl land concracts aggregated
$235, 49, 10S-$1S7 las, 039, or TOSS per cent,
of which is on acreage and the remainder
on lots. The average amount of debt in
force per assessed acres, is $13.S7; the aver
age amount of debt in force
per mortgaged acre is $685..
OF the total debt in force per
mortgaged acres, "a per cent. is ON real es-
tate in the western half of the state, where
values are lower. This has great effect
on state averages based on values. The
debt in force per capita is S165, and per
family of five is $S25, but this ratio is not
sound because of the many non-resi-
dents who are owners of mortgaged real
estate. The recorded debt of the state has
decreased 2.49 per cent. from 1887 to 1889.
In examining the motives it is safe to say
that fully three-fourths of the debt of the
state was incurred for purchase money for
lands and improvements The property
of the state exempt from taxation aggre-
gates $35, 745, 395. Mr.. Porter concludes
that the mortgage Indebtedness of the state
is 14.36 per cent. of the true valuation of
all property in the state.

HOP-PICKING DONE.
The Indians Are Returning to the Res
eryations.

MI C. C. Thornton, the Indian agent at Tul.
alp was in the city yesterday. 1.-THE reserva-
tions have been deserted" said he,
"for the Indians have all gone
out 10 the various ranches for
the hop picking. They did not make very much
money because the hop crop was unusually
light Then too, when the Indians reached the
ranches they found that the white men were
already on hand and had secured the work. /
am told that some of the Alaska Indians turned
around and went directly back TO their homes
without doing any work.
but the Indians are all getting back TO the
reservations now and preparing for winter The
schools open at once. There is new school on
the Lummi reservation for the Indians who
formerly came from there 10 the contract school
