NOT NEEDED YET.

A taxpayer writes the APPEAL sug.
costing the formation of Citizens
Defense Association. We think it
would be bad move at present.
The state of affairs pointed out by
the APPEAL can easily be remedied
by the proper officials in the courts.
A citizens association is out of place
until all other legal means are e1-
hausted.
When the District Attorney, the
Grand Jury and the courts refuse to
enforce the laws, then it will be
time enough to proclaim to the world
that Ormsby county cannot enforce
the law. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that no such unfortunate crisis will
ever be reached.

A TAX-D0DGING SCHEME.

How Storey County Skinnint'
Utilized the Widows Exemption
Act.
When in Virginia City attending
the Grand Lodge Of Odd Fellows, a
very pretty little scheme for lodging
taxation, practiced by several Of the
rich and INSCRIPTIONS residents Of
Storey County, was revealed to the
editor of this paper by one who knew
whereof he spoke. 1t is we'll
known fact that good deal of the
outside property, such as dwelling
houses, in Virginia City is owned by
two or three capitalists, one of whom
is lawyer not famous for his scrup-
ulous sense of honesty, especially if
the ducates can be made to fall into
his itching palm,
These men for several years have
beaten the City of Virginia, Storey
county and the State OF Nevada out
of thousands of dollars eff revenue by
working what we will call the
"widow scheme. As every widow
in the State escapes taxation on her
property to the extent of $1,000,
these tax-dodgers hunt up the
widows in Storey county who own
no property and place valuable prop
erty in their hands, have it assessed
in their names and by SO doing escape
taxation on it to the extent of $1,000
on every piece of property SO placed.
Our informant told US that thou
sands of dollars worth of property
escaped taxation every year in Storey
county by means of this scheme.
The State, county and city are
robbed of.their revenue every year by |
men who reckon their wealth by |
hsEa6re9A & thousands and millions. |
The attention of the Assessor and |
Board of County Commissioners of |
Storey county is called to this matter
in the hope that they will inves-
tigate It and place this property on
the assessment roll. 1t might be
well also TOR the State Board of As
SCISSORS to look into it, as the State |
is robbed of its revenue by this
scheme. Independent.

1t begins TO look as If the Southern
Alliance Farmer would prove a white
elephant on the hands Of the alliance. What
is to be done with it! Who will buy it at
the sale on Oct. "a! Is the state alliance
responsible for what it owes9 These ques-
tions are Of interest to every allIanceman,
as it is within the range of probabilities that
the creditors Of the concern may ask the
courts to rule that the alliance is responsible
for the papers debts. 1t may be said that
all Of this disagreeable muddle was caused
by the paper being taken out Of its legiti-
mate line Of endeavor and made the political
organ of selfish politicians. Another ques-
tios that arises is: II the alliance should
go to the rescue Of the paper. Voluntarily or
otherwise, would it be rehabilitated under its
late management 1t does not seem prob

A Fight With Sharkn.

The prettiest battle ever Witnessed was be-
tween Cuban and couple of sharks" said
Thomas O. RidReway. to St. Louis Globe Dem
ocrGt writer. I'VE had reached Havana from
New York, and were lying perhaps half mile
from the docks awaiting the signal to 90 in
Several fruit peddlers had boarded us and
among them swarthy, barelegged young fell
low who looked like pirate The purser was
standing by the rail. holding his 5-year-old son
IN his arms watching couple of monster sharks
hensiag about the vessel, when the chlld
slipped from his grasp and tetl into tie water.
Fne father plunged overheard and seized him,
aod the sharks at once made for the pair The
baretegged young 6uocaneer dropped the fruit
basket and went over the rail ike q fash. AS
the first shark turned on its hack the fpvaria bile
prelude 20 biting, the Cuban rose, and with a
long, keen knife fairly disembOHeled Il. The
other was not TO be disposed of so easily He
seemed to realize that In the Cuban he had
dangerous foe, and, in the language Of the ring
spared for an opening. Several Of Ms began to
blaze away at him with our revoivers. but the
Cuban appeared TO fear our bad workmanship
more than tho shark, aud begged US to dssist
The purser and his child had been pulled on
deck, and the combatanos had fair field The
Cuoan dived, but the shark did not wait for him
to come up and changed his location Finally
the latter advanced straight upon his antago-
mist his ugly fin cutting through the water like
huge jaws came together with vicious snap;
but the Cuban was not between them. He hsd
sunk Just IN time to avoid the shark and az the
latter passed shot the steel into it. The old sea
wolf made the water boil, and strove desper-
ately to strike his antagontst with his tan, but
tho latter Kept well amidships and literally cut
htp TO pieces. We made up purse for him,
and the next day the brave ragemufln could
have given Solomon pointers In the 0atter OF
gorgeous apparel.
