had no particular use for the outfit, but
he found not the least difficulty in dis
posing of it to man who is blessed
with family of children. The purchaser
was Mr.. Newmark, and he paid $3.50 for
the rig. Carrier pocketed his money
and went back to work on the wharf.

harnessed and ready to CO." hitched to

THE TAX LEVY
Slightly Exceeds the Pledge Of the
Democrats

Democrats
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 1s.-The new
board Of supervisors, sitting as COM
mittee of the whole, completed it's tax
levy this evening and turned it over to
a special committee to be revised so as
to bring it within the Democratic pledge
of 81 on each $100 of total valuation Of
$310 900, ,000 The roll when completed
aggregated $3.50, 700. From this sum
the supervisors deducted $1,4O0, 700,
which will be received from sources
other than taxation, and $3.50, 500, which
they declare should be considered out
side of their pledge, having been caused
largely by legislative acts passed since
the meeting of the Democratic munich
pal convention. This left a balance of
$780, 500, being an excess of $439, 500 over
their pledge. The committee was in
structed to make sufficient reductions
in the various appropria tions to bring
the aggregate within the pledge.

TRUMPS in HIS HANDS

THE JURY
Luetgert Will Take the Stand to Prove
That He Is Not as
He Might Be

CHICAGO, Sept. ia wrangle be-
tween the prosecution and defense over
the admissibility of evidence tending to
show a motive for the murder of Mrs.
Luetgert prevented the state from clos
ing It's case, as it had expected to do, to-
day Judge Tuthill took the matter un-
der advisement, and the case went over
until Tuesday next. Not only were the
attorneys of the prosecution and defense
at variance over the evid but there
was trouble in the camp of the defense,
Former Judge Vincent, the senior coun-
sci for Luetgert assuring the court that
he objected to the evidence showing a
motive, and Attorney Phalen, the Junior
counsel informing the court that ne had
no objection in the world to the introduc.
tion of the testimony. The attitude as
sumed by Attorney Phalen does not
please Luetgert at ALL and he scowled
darkly at the junior counsel when he
said he was willing that the testimony
should be admitted.
States Attorney Deenan Is confident
that the court will admit the evidence
showing motive for the alleged murder,
anu tHcu, lie Sdlu, our case Will De
perfect"
Wher asked for his opinion OF the case
made against him, Luetgert grew angry
for a moment and exclaimed:
You ought to know my opinion of the
case without asking me. There is moth
ing in it. Take away the quarrel of the
experts over the bones, and what have
you got left? Nothing. They have not
proved that the woman is dead, ard they
cannot prove it. l am not going to talk
