BOydstOn to Surrender.

FROM the roma creek Tribune.
According to the Wichita Beacon,
Frank Boydston will surrender to the
authorities and stand trial for the MUIR
der of Deputy Sheriff Hendrickson near
this city last December. After review
ing the crime which caused Frank
Boydston and Charley Neal to become
fugitives from justice, the Beacon says:
After the murder the men fed and
have not been captured, although it is
well known that they have never left
the territory. While down on the bor-
der few days ago Sheriff Royse met
Boydston's wife and learned that her
husband intended to come In and sur.
render himself to the authorities.
There are many people along the bor-
der of Kansas and Cherokee Strip who
will regret to learn of this determine
ton on the part of tie murderer. Sew
eral thousand head of cattle were stol-
ell just before the killing of Hendrick-
son and there were many implicated
in the plot that hove never appeared
before the public. 1t is feared by them
that Boydston will turn states evil
dence." 1t has been the thory of the
friends Of Boydston and Neal that
eventually they would surrender to the
authorities after the excitement atten-
dant upon the killing had died down.
Probably the recent offer of reward
for their apprehension by by the COVER
nor of the territory has gone a long
way toward bringing Boydston and
Neal to realization of the fact that to
surrender voluntarily would be a point
in their favor when the case came to
trial.

Special Meeting.

A meeting of The board Of county
commissioners was held Saturday, con
! sequent to call by the chairman, in
which the Santa Fe tax matter was to
he discussed. The proposition received
from the tax commissioner stated tina,
'inasmuch as the valuation of such
property as assessed for the year 1892
was used as basis for making most of
the levies for the year 1893 in your
county, the receivers offer hereby To
pay at once without penalty one-half of
the taxes due to your county upon the
basis of the levies as made for 1888 as
applied to the valuation of such prop
erty as assessed for the year 1888" In
short the road offered to pay upon the
1892 valuation if the penalty should be
related.
After due consideration of the matter
the commissioners made the following
answer:
In the matter OF proposition by the Santa
Fe II. K. Co. for the payment of taxes for the
year 1893 said proposition was rejected. And
the board of county commissioners submit the
following proposition: 1t is hereby ordered
by the board that the county clerk be instruct.
ed to inform the tax commissioner that they
will accept taxes OF the year 1893 on the fol-
lowing terms, viz: If the full tax is paid i'm
mediarely on the 1898 valuation the penalty
will be related. md fur her, IL the courts so
decide that the 1893 valuation is excessive they
will issue said railroad company a certificate
of error for the difference.
The taxes paid last year by the road
amounted to S6.245 05 and this year the
amount assessed against them is
S, $50 90, making difference of
s.. 405 %. In the proposition submitted
by the commissioners there seems to be
all the fairness that could be expected
under the circumstances, as it is not in
greater proportion than others must
pay to place county scrip at par. The
provIsO in the offer makes it as fair as
could be asked by the receivers unless
they object to paying at all. Other tax
payers in the county have to stand a
raise TO maintain our credit and the
road should bearits proportionate share
of the burden.
Beside attending to this matter the
board allowed several certificates of
error, appointed a. d. Singleton treas
urer of Kiowa township vice B. w. Key
resigned and q. a. Bucklin trustee in
Elro Mills to fill the vacancy caused by
resignation of Louis Frame.

The Cresset intlmates that those of

1t is an uncalled for and dirty fling.
prompted by motives that as we have
before stated have become a chronic
disease in that Office. The Cresset first
tried to make the matter political one
but the fact that the commissioners. a
majority of whom are republican, ac-
copied the very proposition it opposed.
caused display of the great wriggling
act. During the contGrtions of it's
elastic conscience it took occasion to
make the insinuations mentioned above
and which are as base in design as they
are utterly false. Not coming down so
gracefully as he imagined at the time
he took his position on the scrip ques-
ton, the Cresset editor has made an
ungalnly sprawl. Instead of giving
others the privilege of an honest opinion
he intimates that selfish motive has
biased the judgment of all who opposed
his plan, commissioners included and
that the latter sacrificed the credit of
the county in order to save few dollars
on their scrip. The imputations are re-
sented by everyone TO whom they are
directed and will serve to show the peo-
pie that instead of being the newspaper
it claims to be it is an unfair and unre-
liable sheet, holding partizanship above
the interests of its county. The fact
that majority of the board are repub-
licans did not deter us in the least from
supporting their action as the wisest,
and subsequent results have proven the
position correct. A paper that does not
credit others with honest motives, even
where they are proven to be the best in
policy, certainly has none of its own.
