The reports from all parts Of New-Jersey In

of fatalities. This is explained by the delay Of

THE SPECIAL EDITION.

The Echo received qnite u la,gA
number Of finely gotten up holiday
newspapers from among It's state ex-
changes during the past month, and
among these we desire especially To
notice lhat Of our neight)Or, the PIO-
NEER EXPRESS. One special feature
'Ol The r. q. edition was the write up
Of many Of the cities and towns Of
the county, containing. valuable In
formation to the average reader.
Sume Of the business interests Of
DraytOn were not mentioned ut all,
but we learn this was not the fault
Of Editors Wardwell & Th0mpsU us
they depended upon paroles Ut this
place tn send In u complete report,
which did not arrive at Pemblna Qn.
I'll after the piper was issued: The
edition was nicely printed on cream
book paper, and bore many attrfG
tive TEXTURES that were credlt table TO
the publishers s.-DraytOn Ec. o. Z,
While we thank the Echo for its
kindly words there is q criticism as
to mentioning business interests
that we desire to explain. The spe-
cial edition of the PIONEER EXPRESS
was not intended to be an eXhaus-
tive mention CT business interests,
men or people, in particular detail 10
each town. Any one town in the
county in that case would have been
able to fill all the pages of the edl-
tion. All we expected to do, and all
we asked our correspondents to do,
was to give such a review of the town.
in from 600 to 1000 words limit, as
would be of interest to strangers and
be a general answer to the question,
what sort of a town is it? In most
clses our correspondents gave US just
q out what we wanted. and it was
not pretended or expected to be COM
plete in SO small u space. In some
cases no mention of individual busi-
ness men was made at all by our cor
respondents, which we think was the
case of our Drayton friend. and we
supplied the names we did mention,
from the advertising columns of the
Echo itrelf. Which by the way has
moral for Drayton business men.

WHY TAXES ARE HIGH.

A correspondent In this issue and
numerous others are asking the ques-
tion, why the increased personal ta1
es of 1895 over those Of 1894? Aside
from the fact that a slight incressa
has been.made.by the county. and pes
haps by the township and school arr
tricts, to those personal taxpayy
who pay on q valuation Of from zoo
to 800, q great difference is made by
the change in the law as to exemp.
tiOns; BY this we mean that the dlf.
ference is felt by this class ot small
taxpayers more than the larger. ones,
though 1t Affects all. The Law ia 1894
exempted 4ao0 worth Of personal pro-
perty, while this year only e25 exemp.
tions are allowed. So, q man 10 1894
could own 500 worth Of personal pro.
perty and have no tax to pay at all on
1t. This year at three cent rate he
would have to pay $500 tax, or at a
five cent rate. $1,000. Last year q
$400 assessment at a three cent rate
was taxed $500, this year at the same
rate the same assessment would be
6axed Gil. .25.
The repeal Of the 5000 exemption
law was in our opinion all right, as
in some couuttes It's effect, and abuses,
caused almost the entire personal as.
sessment to be lost. The natural con-
sequence was that the people who
own real estate had to pay the costs
of runalng tho local government.

Men On the frontier for years and
years say no gamer man ever died.
He was the coolest man in all the
great crowd.
All the while Crawford was
spectator of the scene. He began to
weaken and confessed. giving some
valuable information. He placed
the responsibility for the crime on
"The Kid" The mob pulled him
off the improvised platform next to
the bank he attempted to rob and
his head was about on level with
the dangling feet of his companion.
He asked for Captain Burnett. The
latter was a spectator in the crowd.
He went to Crawford and had long
talk. Crawford had worked on Bur-
nett's ranch for years, and long was
trusted mon. He began stealing
his employers stock, however, and
associating with Territory outlaws.
The two parted company. Crawford
confessed to the robbery yesterday,
but denied the murder. He was a
small man, poorly clad, with red face
and short clipped black mustache.
When they began to look for a
second rope he begged for whisky.
1t was given him. He talked and
then begged for more. He again
addressed the Comanche, English
and Spanish. Those who under
stood him say his utterances were
incoherent. The rope soon arrived
and it was put about his neck. He
fell either in faint or from the eff.
fects of the liquor he had drank
He was soon strung up along with
his companion, and their bodies are
still dangling IN midair.
The men were captured nine miles
from town, after fight of an hour
last night. The robbers were in {
thicket surrounded by pursuers, s,anc
surrendered only when all hope was
gone. They were taken to Wichit'
Falls and the State Rangers guar d
ed them all night. Both of the rob
bers are we'll known in the locality
having been cowboys on the range
for number of years. Dorsey. tn
