If the county board of equalization
keeps on reducing the aggregate amount
of taxable property as they did yes
terday, the members of the city coun-
| Gil will wish they had placed the tax
levy at more than mills on the dollar.
The board chopped off over 100000 yes
terday in mortgages, which were pre-
sumed TO be good, and these, with the
attachments made in q small way and
the allowances, viii make the total
come very near s225, 600. 1t is believed
ere the board has COMPLETED its work
it will have cut valuations down and
allowed enough to indigents and others
to make the matter of valuation stand
about one and one-half millions less
than il was when they began work.
Whether the city council figured on as
large a reduction as that or not is not
exactly known, but it is presumed they
did not. The margin they have allowed
themselves for the coming year is only
$44, 900 and il will shave that amount
down pretty low ere all expenses are
paid.
The work of the board yesterday is
as follows:
Belle Bahrenberg, real estate. abated
$3.50.

the assailant was, notwithstanding the
fact that Nelson had made a sworn
ante-mortem statement to the contrary.
In this statement, Nelson swOre that
Mrs Staples did not shoot him.
Mrs. Staples. according to her own
admission, is morphine user and her
conflicting stories of the affair may be
attributable to this. She is still de-
tanned at the Hyde Park police station.
Today she told the police that one
evening as she was riding her bicycle
in Washington park, near where Mel
son was shot, a tall man, wearing a
dark suit of bicycle clothes, and a dark
blue cap, tried TO persuade her to talk
to him. She says she refused and she
desisted and left her alone. The man,
whom she says was almost as dark as
a negro. then rode away, saying that he
would get even with her.

DURRANT'S EXECUTION.
1t Certainly VIII Not Take Place on
july II.

San Francisco, July BIN view of
the fact that the attorney general has
gone to Los Angeles to participate in
the celebration of the Fourth of July
at that place. and that Governor Budd
is touring the state with William Jen-
nings Bryan, while Warden Hale has
gone to the mountains on a. two weeks
vacation, it is considered as highly
improbable that any steps will be
taken by the state officials to carry
out the execution of Theodore Durrant
on July II, and there is every reason
for the belief expressed by the con-
demned mans attorneys that his life is
in no danger during the tendency of
his appeal 70 the supreme court of
