DID NOT NEED HIM.
How a Grumbler Was Treated by the
Boys at Camp Mount.

How a Grumbler Was Treated by the
Boys at Camp Mount.
While being examined yesterday Private
Edward Meyers, of Hammond, decided he
did not want to be soldier after ALL and
while in this frame of mind took step the
consequences of which he will not forget
for some time Meyers has been a
grumbler ever since the company arrived in
camp, according to the stories Of the other
men of the company. While DIR. Gar
IRISH was examining him yesterday he acted
in sullen manner and resented every at
tempt Of the medical men to touch him.
When questions were addressed to him he
replied in monosyllables and muttering be-
tween his teeth uncomplimentary things
about soldering generally and the fare and
accommodations in particular. Dr. Gerrish
became disguised with the actions of the
man and turned him over to Lieutenant
Waterman; who wasted few words with
him. Finding out from his conversation
how Meyers feIt about serving the lieutenant
is for volunteers and we don't need YOU
AS soon as he put on his clothes again,
however, MeyerS's troubles began, for his
townSmen heard of the story and for few
minutes his life was made miserable. Hard
ly had he left the building when the men
took him in charge and behind bass drum
and surrounded by jeering former friends
parting taunts he was turned loose and
when last seen was thoughtfully vending
his way down the railroad track beyond the
reach of the remarks of his ex-comrades.

EVIDENCE in TAX CASE
PROCEEDINGS IN THE SUIT AGAINST
THE GALLUP ESTATE.
John Ludwig Fined for Illegal Voting
Suit TO Contest a WiIl-Express
Company Litigation.

Judge Allen yesterday afternoon resumed
the hearing of evidence in the suit Of the
county against the estate Of the late Ed
ward P. Gallup to collect taxes alleged to
be due the county. State and city between
the years of 1881 and 1893. About $50, 900
is involved in the suit. Attorney w. T.
Brown is representing the county, Attor-
ney General Ketcham the State and John
w. Kern the city. If judgment is recov-
cred against the estate two-thirds of the
amount will go to the county and State
and the remainder to the city.
When the case was adjourned, two weeks
ago, Judge Allen, after hearing a days
argument on the question, decided that At
torneys Miller & Elan, counsel for the ex
ecutor of the estate, must make a charge
of fraud If they desired to go into in
vestigation of the manner in which the
county auditor had arrived at certain con-
illusions concerning these back taxes. 1t
was through the county auditor that the
alleged indebtedness of the Gallup estate
to the county was discovered. When the
case opened yesterday the defense filed an
answer, to certain paragraphs of the COM
plant, alleging that the action of the audi
tor was taken arbitrarily and without
proper evidence. Mayor Taggart, who held
the office OF auditor during the period in
which it is claimed taxes were held back
and City Controller Johnson, who was Mr..
Taggart's deputy, were on the witness stand
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. johnson explained
the process by which the auditor estimated
the value of Mr.. Gallup's estate. He said
that, in order to ascertain how the prop
erty had accumulated from year to year,
the auditor took the full amount given in
the inventory made by the executor and
deducted per cent. from this amount for
each year back to 1881. This was done
after evidence had been taken which indi-
Gated that the estate yielded about 5 per
cent. on the investments of its owner At
torney Miller subjected the mayor and city
controller to some close cross-eXamination
in order to show, as alleged, that the ac-
ton was arbitrary, and that the conclusion
reached was the result of a mere mathe-
NAUTICAL proposition.
Nearly all of the evidence was finished
last night, and the argument will be heard
to-day.
