Notes n Slight Increase The
Figures on the Result.

The territorial board of equalization
yesterday completed it's labors to this
extent that the following table Of re-
suits is announced In this connection
it may be well to state there are four
changes in the assessed valuation as
returned by the assessors of the var
ious counties. In Grand county there
is an increase of $50, 959 on the assessed
valuation of sheep; in Wayne 1855 on
cattle; in Tooele SAL, O91 on sheep, and
in San Juan $3.50 on sheep and $SS,594
on cattle.
Salt Lake county leads in the valua-
ton of property, both real and per-
sonal, although there is a decrease in
the latter of 1922, PIT. The increase in
the valuation of real estate is noted at
$393,972.
Weber, the second county in line,
comes in with an increase II $1,000, 179
on the value of real estate, but a de-
crease of $192, 0S6 on personal property
Utah county shows a gain on real
estate and personal property. The
number of cattle in Tooele county was
not reported and the number of sheep
in Salt Lake county is an estimated
one. Wayne county shows no sheep
on the return as regards numbers.
The following table will convey to
the reader an accurate idea of the
work of the board:

CHARGE AGAINST TURPIN.
HE ENTERED A PLEA OF GULL
TY TO PLAIN DRUNK.
The other Charge of Assault with
Intent to Rape Withdrawn-He
Is Sentenced to Sixty Days in the
County Jail.

Joseph Turpin, the man who was ar
rested on Monday evening and booked
on a charge of committing an assault
with intent to rape upon Mrs Iarga-
ret Harrison, had a hearing yester-
day before United States Commissioner
Sommer. The circumstances of the af-
fair We're published in The Herald of
yesterday. County Attorney White
more appeared to prosecute and the
prisoner was undefended.
On the witness stand he said that he
had been informed by some one that
Mrs. Harrison was a woman of the
kind who are not averse to receiving
advances from men, and that under
this mistaken idea he put his arms
around her, but nothing more, and
Immediately desisted when he found
he had made a mistake.
Mrs. Harrison testified as to the
identity of her assailant, and thought
that some other motive than that of
robbery induced Turpin to commit the
assault. The defendant said he would
be willing to enter a plea of guilty to
simple assault, and on the advice of
the county attorney the more serious
charge was withdrawn and assault
substituted. The defendant waived
time for sentence, and his honor SEN
fenced him to sixty days imprison-
ment in the county Jail and to pay the
costs of the case
