People Hustling for Chance to Work
Out Poll Taxes.
= Great Falls, May 25.-The action of
the city council in permitting those cit
liens who 80 desire to work out their
poll tax or employ other persons to do
so is very beneficial not only to the city
itself, but to many men who through
this channel find employment for a
month or more at a slack season OF the
year. The scheme was initiated last
year. and that was practically he first
year In which the city realised anything
from that form of taxation. Former
ly 1t had beer a sort OF pass-the-hat
arrangement, those who desired paying,
and the rest laughing at b collector.
Now the city realizes a very substantial
sum from the poll tax. Inc IL the fund
is properly managed il will result in
much Improvement on the streets.
This morning there are a dozen men
soliciting the business houses on CEN
trail avenue for permission to work out
the taxes Of those employed therein.

work the tax out for others do II for

A number OF trunk lines and coalers

which IT was sought to impart by this
lifting OF special STOCKS. Inc demand
proved very light and prices dropped. The
bears were thus encouraged to more Wig

ranged from one to four POINTS and in

APecuIIar "Pauper" Case

The case of Willard Stoddard VS.. the
town of Vernon was heard last Monday by
j. H. Mortified referee. This was an ac-
tion brought by plaintiff to recover pay
of the town for time spent last winter in
caring for his son, who was i'll with a fever
in Guiford. Mr.. Stoddard is an able
bodied man and this son is also physical
ly strong young man % years old. When
the son was taken ill, Mr.. Stoddard i'm
mediately notified the town of Guilford
that he needed hell and the overseer of the
poor, Mr.. Alexander, notified the overseer
of the poor of Vernon, j. A. Brown, who
at once took action and furnished medical
attendance, food and fuel, but declined to
furnish trained nurse, or any other help,
as he deemed Mr.. Stoddard amply able to
take care of his son. The testimony of
Mr.. Stoddard himself showed that he was
possessed of more than human physical
ability, as he swore that she did not sleep
wink for II days and nights" and could
saw two cords of wood twice in two in a
Gay. The testimony of the town showed
that Mr. Stoddard had received from the
overseer of the poor since 1881 more than
$1,000, and he has probably received as
much more from the charity of individuals.
The people of the town felt that this was
an action of gross ingratitude and injustice,
and that no statute, correctly interpreted,
would support such a cause. j. Z. Gale
of Guilford was the attorney for the plain
tiff and A. F. Schwenk of Haskins &
Schwenk, attorney for defendant. The
case was in charge of NJ. l. Reed, agent
for the town.
