PORTLAND, Sept. 29.-[Special.l II. w.
Johnson, residing in Multnomah addition,
in Albina and who has been known to be
of unsound mind for some time, this after
noon cut off his right hand with an ak.
Some one came running TO the
residence of Officer Alexander Crocker,
which is only block away, and told him
that he was wanted at once at Johnson's
house. He was not informed what the
cause of the summons was, but he imme-
diately answered the call, supposing that
Johnson was having another insane fit.
He met Mr.. Boyle, and asked him to go
along.
AS they came near the house they heard
groans inside, and on the porch they were
horritied to see blood spattered around.
Policeman Crocker entered the house first
and saw Johnson lying on the bed. A
pool of blood had gathered on the floor di-
rectly under the man. He was
lying on his face, and had
both arms entwined in wire
mattress. He was moaning in a most
pitiable manner. No wounds could be
seen on him. Officer Crocker turned to
tell his companion to go for assistance,
and he was surprised to find the man was
gone and he was left alone. He
succeeded in attracting the at
tention of an expressman, who
drove to the door. Crocker then caught
hold of Johnson and pulled one of his
hands loose. He attempted to resist, and
the officer, in order to intimidate
him, pulled out pair of handouts.
At this Johnson threw out both
hands, and Croker was Mortified to
see the bloody stump of the right arm
with the hand cut off. He secured John
son and put him in the wagon with the
aid of four men. The officer went back
into the house for Johnson's coat and
while ne was gone the latter got out of the
wagon and had to be lifted in again. The
severed hand was found and placed
in a box. The express wagon was
driven to Rivers undertaking establish
ment, where Johnson was placed in a rear
room. DIR. Newcombe was called. and he
bandaged the exposed and bleeding stump
and administered stimuiants. The hand
showed that it had been hacked off with
three blows.
Johnson has been of unsound mind for
long time and has been growing
worse. Last Wednesday he was taken
into custody on complaint that
he was dangerous. He was, how
ever, turned loose, and the above
incident is the result. IIe was asked why
he cut his hand off, and he answered that
God did it," He seemed to be under the
impression that he had committed some
great sin.

STATE EQUALIZATION OF TAXES.
Great Diversity in Assessments-Oues-
ton of Horizontal deduction.

OLYMPIA, Sept 29.-tSpecial. 1.-The state board
of equalization today commenced the comparison
of the assessment returns. The great differences
in the values placed upon property in the va
rious counties are apparent The assessment of
railway roadbeds, for instance, ranges from
5000 in some counties to $4,000 in others This
is indicative of the range in the assessment of
all classes of property. The task OF egualizinp
these differences will be difficult one for the
board.
Assessor Cook, of Pierce county, made a de-
tense of his assessment today and charges that
Pierce countys valuation had been placed too
low by the county board. He cited instances of
reductions in cases where the original assess
ments were satisfactory to the owners of the
property affected He will be heard again when
the Pierce county matter is formally taken up.
Mayor Horr, of Olympia, gave the board no.
tce that a 90 per cent. reduction OF the Thurs
ton county assessment will be asked for.
NJ. III. Ellis asked that no change be made in
the Yakima county assessment, and c. NJ Calla-
han argued in favor of 25 per cent reduction
for CowiitZ.
question has been raised as to the rights of
county boards, under the revenue laws to so
equalize assessments as to make a horizontal re-
duction OF the total amount returned bv the as
sessor The provisions of the statute are some-
what in conflict on this point. The board ia
considering the question. Its importance ia
seen from the fact that total reduction of al.
most s30, 900 600 was made by the several countv
boards of equalization.
