JUAB COUNTY VALUATION.
Figures From the Juab Rolls, Except
Net Proceeds and Corporations.

Nephi, June 10.-The county commits
sioners have been in session as n board
of equalization since Monday, but so
far, aside from a few chronic kickers,
there have been scarcely any COM
plants filed or applications made for
reduction. 1t is. pretty generally I'M
derstood among the class who have
heretofore had their taxes nbated, that
the commissioners are prohibited from
further pursuing that generous course,
consequently there have been few or
no petitions presented from that quar-
ter. No doubt there have been abuses
of the abatement provision as hereto
fore construed, but later on the COM
missioners will very likely be disposed
TO appropriate from the INDECENT fund
sums equal to the taxes in the most ur-
gent cases. 1t would be immaterial so
far as the county is concerned, whether
the INDECENT class pay their taxes and
then have the amount appropriated
back to them or not paid at all. The
hard feature is, the county will be re-
quired to pay the proportion of the tax
in each case, due the state.
The assessment roll shows the total
assessed valuation Of the county in real
and personal property-exclusive of the
net proceeds from the mines, and cor
poration taxes assessed by the state
board of equalization, to be 81, 1860
as against 81, 1885, 04 for the preceding
year, upon the same class of property,
showing a net increase of $46,S97.
A number of the mining companies
have failed to report their net proceeds
so far, mainly owing to oversight of
change in the law requiring return in
April instead of June as heretofore.
Second notices have been sent from the
assessors office to the derelicts and a
few days will be given, after which an
arbitrary assessment will be made,
from which there is no appeal under
the law

GUN PLAY AT CLEAR CREEK.
Armed Woman Closed Her Eyes
When She Pulled the Trigger.

w men Sl6 the Trigger.
Provo, June 1O-Henry Ramsey, John
Lee and Eta Lee, John Lees wife,
We're brought down from Clear Creek
by Sheriff Storrs this morning. 1t ap-
pears that Ramsey at one time was
boarder at Mrs. Lees, but left her roof.
because of some unpleaSantneSS that
arose between them. Ramsey returned
to Clear Creek yesterday afternoon,
and Mr.. Lee, who was somewhat in
toXicated, went out to interview him
in regard to some statements which it
was said were made by Ramsey in de-
rogation Of the good character of Mr..
Lees family. Lee was so drunk that
Ramsey told him to come around when
he was sober and he would talk to him.
Lee insisted upon having an interview
then and there, and was so boisterous
and persistent that Ramsey got out of
patience and knocked Lee down. A
son of Mr.. Lee saw this and ran to
tell his mother, who came down armed
with q bulldog revolver and ready to
annihilate Ramsey. She kept the pistol
under her arm until she got up to
about eight or ten feet of Ramsey, and
then presenting the pistolsat him, at
tempted to fire it. Fortunately she was
not strong enough to pull the trigger
with one finger, so she closed her eyes
and took both hands and succeeded in
firing the pistol. Ramsey, when he
saw Mrs. Lee shut her eyes, ducked
his head and the shot passed over him.
He had by this time succeeded in get
ting his own gun, whichA when Mrs.
Lee saw it, put her to flight Then Mr..
Lee got on a rampage and insisted
that nothing but the blood of Ramsey
would satisfy his anger. He stormed
around Clear Creek for an hour or SO
begging Of the residents to loan hinra
gun with which to make Ramsey bite
the dust. The people took care, how
ever, not to let him have one and so he
finally quoted down, and everything
was peaceful when the officers ar
rived there about O'Clock this morn
ing.
They appeared before Justice Booth
this afternoon, Ramsey charged with
battery, Mr.. Lee charged with disturb
ing the peace, and Mrs. Lee charged
with simple assault. Each pleaded
guilty to the charge and each was
fined SIS, after which Ramsey stepped
up to Lee, saying: 'WelI, let's be
friends, if 1 have wronged you 1 hope
you will forgive me- to which Lee re-
piled that he would, and they shook
hands and walked out of the court room
together, followed by Mrs. Lee.

BUTCH Cassidy STILL ALIVE
MAN KILLED WITH WALKER
WAS JOHN HERRING.
The Two Prisoners Insist, and Devel-
opments Corroborate the Claim
Letters From Herring's Relatives.

Castle Dale, June 9.-Whether or not
it was really Butch Cassiday who was
killed by Sheriff Allred's posse in COM
pany with Joe Walker. recently, is a
question which has been the cause of
great deal of dispute since the cor
oaer's inquest at Price decided in the
affirmative.
AT that time and since, Messrs.
Schultz and Thompson, the men who
We're arrested in company with the
dead outlaws, maintained that they
had known the man only as John Her
ring, and events transporting since the
shooting go to prove that this was the
dead mans real name.
During the time these men had been
in the company of Herring he had Of
ten spoken to them of his home and
relatives. and after having been lodged
in jail here, Mr.. Thompson wrote to
the Sheriff of the county in which he
(Herrins1 had said his folks resided,
asking if such a family was known
there. Yesterdays mail brought the
following letter in reply:
Oakville Tex, May 81.
Mr.. S. H. Thompson, Castle Dale, Utah:
Dear Sir-Your letter to the sheriff
of this county was handed me today.
You write of the death of my boy,
John Herring. on write as if you were
my boys friend. Now please write his
Borrowing father all the particulars
relative to my boys death. Did he live
any length of time after being shot?
If SO, did he talk any? Who buried
him and where was he buried? Who
was he working for at the time of his
death? Who took charge of his body
and effects after his death? Please,
my friend (for if you were my boys
friend you were mine alsO), write me
fully in answer TO my questions, es-
pecially as to how long he lived after
being shot, and if he was conscious at
the time of death, and what he said
BY doing this you will greatly oblige
your sad friend,
CURTIS HERRING.
This letter is written in good bust
hess hand on a letterhead of ''F. H.
Church, lawyer and land agent, Oak
willie, Tex
Sheriff Tuttle has also received let
ter this week from the brother of the
dead man, which reads as follows:
Cotulla, Tex, June 4.
To the Sheriff of Castle Dale:
Dear Sir-I have been informed that
my brother. John Herring, had been
killed at Castle Dale. If so, please
write me and let me know the partic-
ulars about it. Respectfully,
CURT HERRING.
Sheriff futile of this county is now
convinced that Joe Walkers compan-
ion was really John Herring, and that
the real Butch Cassiday is still at large.

GOT TIRED REAL SOON.
Two bennington Lovers Welded and
SEPARATED,

Willard Progress: For several days
past rumors have been floating about
of an elopement, said to have hap
pened at our neighboring town Of
Holden. AS near as we can get at the
facts, Mr.. George Wood and Miss
Smith, of bennington, got married in
Salt Lake City barely two months ago,
and the loving couple have since then
made their home with the young mans
parents in Holden. Some ten days ago
the lady left Holden on a visit to her
folks at bennington, and during the
trip and. after reaching bennington,
she told that she was going from there
by train to Juab and meet George, her
husband, who was going for goods, and
return to Holden with him. Her par
entS have since visited Holden and eX-
pressed surprise to learn that she was
not there and that her story about
meeting George had no foundation in
fact. She has gone, but so far as We
can learn, no one processes to know
where, and the young man, when he
learned the truth, became almost wild
with vexation and disappointment. He
is spoken of as a quiet and exemplary
young man, and as no trouble had oc-
CURED between them, the case is an
unusual and mysterious one.
1t is since learned that the lady had
her trunk checked for Eureka and then
had it checked back to Springville.

Market Has Been Manipulated, But
Sentiment Is Bullish.

New York, June 10.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
More or less irregularity has been
shown IN the movement of the market
this week. War and war news has
been less of factor, but while the line
of speculation has been generally
strong, there has been evidence of
realizing in groups of stocks which led
the recent advance, while fresh inter-
estS have come into prominence and
displayed strength The bond markets
activity has reflected the renewed
presence of investors. Governments
have declined little in consequence of
the passage of the war revenue bill by
the senate with bond clause. and the
certainty thus created that the govern
ment would soon bring out a new issue.
On the other hand. the railroad bond
list has been advancing, the scarcity of
the higher prices for gilt-edge secur-
ties creating q demand for the second
and even third grade of railroad mort
cages. London has both bought and
sold American stocks, though there still
appears to be a lack of public interest
in our securities abroad, and the adj
vances in the London quotations for
them for several days are aScribed to
purchasing orders from this side.
While the market here has been active
there has been a falling off in the
amount of public participation and the
efforts of manipulatOrs have been aD
parent in some of the more notable
movements, particularly the decline of
Sugar and the advance of various
specialties. The sentiment of the
street continues bullish. The ease OF
money is supporting factor and while
the delays in the progress of the war
and the conflicting news or absence or
any news whatever from the scene Of
hostilities has been calculated to hold
back speculation, the underlying feel
ing is one of confidence in the result
and in the strongly bullish effect OF
further success 20 our arms.
