AF TER A MOLINE BANK
Alleged Supervisors Had no Legal
Right to Reduce Its
Assessment.
MANDAMUs PROCEEDINGS BEGUN

c. F. DaebeIiehn Appears Complainant
in Petition for Writ to Compel the
County Clerk to Extend the Taxation
Against the Institution in Question
Originally Determined by the Assessor.
An action recommended by the
Tri-City Labor congress ut its last
meeting, when a committee was APP
pointed to investigate the matter,
tool, form TODAY in the filing in the
circuit clerks office by Attorney j.
h. Scott of petition for writ of
mandamus compelling County Clerk
Henry Il. Hubbard to extend the as
sessment as originally made against
the capital stock of the Moline State
Savings bank. that institution having
had its assessment reduced by the
board of supervisors.
c. T. Daebelliehn, of Moline, APP
pears as complainant. lie complains
that at the July, 1898. meeting of the
board of supervisors, the committee
on abatements recommended an abate-
ment of one-fourth of the assessment
levied against the $3S, 374.96 capital
stock of the Moline State Savings bank,
which was represented as being in
vested IN real estate; that at the
September meeting of the county
board said committee submitted a
second report, which was coucurred
in, ordering the county clerk to reduce
the bank 5 assessment to an amount
aggregating $9.593, and that he dis
tribute the said amount pro rata
among the several owners OF the bank 5
stock in accordance with the number
of shares owned; and that the county
clerk is now extending the assessment
as per the board 5 orders.
Claims Boards Action is Illegal.
The petitioner shows that the action
of the board of supervisors was lille
gal; that the board was without
power or jurisdiction to so grant or
extend; that the bank did not make
application to the Moline board of re-
view, which met in July, 1898, for re-
vision of its assessment and gave no
notice of an appeal to the supervisors.
The petitioner prays that writ of
mandamus be issued commanding
County Clerk Hubbard to reextend the
assessment against the Moline Savings
bank as originally determined by the
assessor of Moline in his assessment

Jesse Smiths Hard Luck.

Jesse Smith. colored man who
recently served Il sentence in the
county Jail, says he is having more
than his share of misfortune. He is
sick and unable to work, and as his
savings have dwindled down to some
thing like a dollar, he cannot secure
4 place to board, and is consequently
huggin@ the warm side of the pine at
police headquarters these nights.
Jesse is a typical representative of
the southern colored folk. He was
huddled in a chair alongside the big
stove at the station Yesterday trying
To satisfy his appetite with Il pie that
he had bought at restaurant.
Il haven't had anything but had
luck evah since | broke Il mirrah sew
en- veahs ago said Jesse bewailing
his fate. AN dat same yeah a black
cat ran in front of me one dahk night.
Course l thought | wus wise an kept
right on walkim', when if I'd had any
the othah way. I'm tellin' YOU dat
ole bad luck is gwan to hang onto me,
too, | feah.'
a stranger, giving the name of
Louis Murphy, SAYS the Davenport
Republican, and claiming Rock Island
as his home, came across the river
yesterday afternoon and landed in the
police station. He was picked up
near Third and Rock Island streets,
while headed for the bridge with two
big fat turkeys in his possession, and
the natural supposition was that he
did not buy them. In fact Murphy
did not even pretend that he did, but
explained that "some other fellow
gave 'em to me- This story did not
go with the cops, and when a pair of
socks were found slowed away in the
mans pockets, they naturally con-
cluded that they had an exceedingly
light-tngered gentleman in their tolls.
Murphy took his arrest coolly, joked
with the desk sergeant, while he was
being searched. and finally marched
of to his cell with the air of 4 man who
was sure of Christmas dinner, even
if it is likely to be served by Sheriff
Macarthur at the county Jail.
