COLUSA'S OFFICIALS
BEFORE THE EQUALIZERS

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 29.-Repre-
sentatives of Colusa County appeared
before the State Board of Equalization
this morning, in answer to citation
asking them to explain a falling off Of
over half a million dollars in last year. 5
real estate values. The county was
represented by its Assessor, County
Clerk and full Board of Supervisors
The explanation made of the decrease
in values was that lands in Colusa had
long been assessed for more than their
full value, owing to the fear of preced-
ing Assessors to appear before the
State board with reduction. 1t was
also ccntended that there had been a
succession of crop failures in Colusa
County and land values had been af-
fected thereby.
The period of depression was explain
ed to have commenced in 1893 and it
was claimed that since then there had
been a steady decline of values. AS
SCISSOR Hardin contended that Colusa
County's roll was still $500, 900 too
Assessor P. o. Eibes. of Glenn
County, who had been cited to explain
a falling off in his roll of S436. 900: stated
it was due TO the fact that a large
quantity of land lying along the Butte
County line had heretofore been over
assessed and that this had been reduced

Improvement in his county during the
past year, but the outlook for improve
ments and an increased roll next year

near Telegraph avenue, IS the latest NC NC
have been sacrificed through the STUD
bornness of a street railway company In
refusing to equip its cars with nfe-savlns
tenders. Shortly after $50 o clock this
afternoon the child was run over and
killed by a car of the Alcatraz-avenue
branch of the Telegraph-avenue electric
mangled little body was found between
the rails on AlCatraz avenue, near SHAT
tuck. by Motorman c. ]. Anderson. who
had charge Of the car. on his return trip
from Lorin, and he presumes that the
little one was struck on the previous up
trip. but he claims to be at a loss to
account for the death.
The only passengers on the car at the
time of the discovery of the body were
E. c. Kimble Of Adeline station and E
Matson of Mariposa street. The trio
them aboard the car conveyed them TO
Cornelius Donovan's saloon, corner OF
AIcatraz and Telegraph avenues. There
they were placed on table IN a rear
room. and the Coroner being notified later
he removed them to the MOrgue. A hur-
ried examination OF the body showed that
crushed. The inquest will be held to-
morrow evening.
Alcatraz avenue for several blocks near
the scene of the occurrence is very sparse

could have escaped the motorman,s notice
on his up trip is beyond comprehension:
Tonight Anderson surrendered himself
at the City Prison, where he was booked
for manslaughter. However, he was i'm
mediately released on his own recOgntz-
ance To a reporter he admitted that on
the up trip or the one previous he had a
front end lady passenger, but he says he
held no conversation with her. for he did
not know her. The first knew Of the
accident" said Motorman Anderson, was
when I was coming from Lortn and l saw
the dead body on the track about 800 feet
west OF Shattuck avenue. 1t Is all a mys-
terry to me. l have looked at my car
wheels and the board that IS used as a
fender, but could find no blood"
It was afterward learned that a little
brother Of the deceased was riding on the
same car at the time the body was found,
but he did not recognize the remains as
those of his sister until they were finally
identified by the grief-stricken father.
The motorman says he had paid the boy's
fare out OF his own pocket. He says, too.
that near Lorin station he has had great
difficulty, in the absence Of any conduc-
tor, in keeping the children from jumping
on and off his car.
