The decree in the case of the United

PROTESTED ASSESSMENTS.
Corporation Representatives Before
the Tax Board.

The Board of State Tax Commissioners
heard the appeal yesterday afternoon of
the Indianapolis Manufacturing Company.
Attorney c.. o. Bradford. representing the
company, maintained that it should not
be assessed for more than the value of Its
tangible property, which he said was worth
about $1,000. The company has heretofore
been assessed at 100000, the assessment be-
ing based on it's capital stock. In his argu-
Dient Mr.. Bradford insisted that all of the
capital stock of the company was vested
in patent rights, which were granted to
the company by the United States and
therefore the State board had no right TO
tax it. The Indiana Manufacturing Com
pany has carried it's case into the courts.
but no decision has ever been rendered In
the matter.
The Indiana Illuminating and Natural
Gas Company was also represented before
the board In an appeal from the assess
ments as fixed by the county boards of re-
view in Upton. Montgomery and Boone
counties. The company was represented by
its general manager. j.. r. Dilks. Mr.. Dilks
said that the assessment on the wells in
Upton county was entirely too high. All
Of the wells. he said, were assessed at $500
each, when some of them should not have
been valued at more than $3.50. In the other
counties Mr.. Dilks protested against the
assessment on pipe lines.
At the morning session the board heard
the appeal of the Bank of Corydon from
the assessment fixed on it by the Harrison
County Board of Review. The board fixed
the assessment of the bank at 10000 higher
than the bank had returned as it's value IN
its report to the board.

JOHN S. KEELY'S DEATH
HE WAS EIGHTY YEARS l. AND
WELL KNOWN.
In Early Days MIR. Kelly Was in the
Contracting Bssiness-Other
Local Deaths.

John S. Keely, one of the oldest residents
of indianapolis, died yesterday at his home,
20s North East street. after a long illness
caused by an attack of the grip, followed
by a general decline.
Mr.. Keely was born in 1910 at Harrisburg,
Pa, and removed when very young with
his parents to Cincinnati, going later TO
Butler county. Ohio. and then removing,
when about eighteen years of age, to Shell
by county, Indiana. When about twenty
years of age he went to Cincinnati to learn
his trade, which was brick masonry.
He removed to indianapolis in 1888, and was
one of the first workmen TO take employ
ment ON the old Statehouse. He returned
to Cincinnati the year following, and was
married to Eliza Cleaver. He then came
to indianapolis, and made this his perma-
nent residence, at once entering with his
brother into the contracting business. Inc
firm did a large business. and built many
OF the first large buildings in the city. The
Madison depot was one of their first con-
tracts. a number of the old WOODEN mills
were constructed by them.
Shortly after he came here he purchased
the square in which his home, at the time
of his death, was located. n always
lived some place in the square atterward'
The property then cost him $500. The mouse
in which he died was taken as a residence
about twenty-five years ago. Mr.. Keely
was formerly a Mason, but severed his
connection with the society some years ago.
He retired from active work about hfteen
years ago.
He leaves three children. all of them hv-
ing i'm this city. They are Mrs Mary
Brown. Mrs. Ella Thomas and Mrs. Matte
Stirk.

WOMAN D HURT.
John Turner, CoIored, Arrested for
Injurfng Her i'm a Fight.

John Turner, colored, living at the Frank
lin House. just west of the canal. objected
to remarks which he had heard made about
him. He accused Mary Smith, a coloreu
woman living at the same place, of circulat-
ing the reports and proceeded to strike her
with his fist. He knocked her down and
then kicked her. The police and other
occupants of the building stopped the fight.
after the woman's face and body had been
badly bruised. Or. McGaughey. of the
City Dispensary, who took her to the City
Hospital, said she was probably injured
internally as the result of being beaten
with a board. The woman was unconscious
for a time. She said Turner tried 10 throw
her into a cistern there. but was prevented
by other women. Turner was arrested and
charged with assault with intent to Kill.

INDIANA & OHIO LINE
Is BEING PROMOTED BY o.. j. NJ.
GORE AND LOCAL MEN.
He Outlines the Scheme Proposed
While I'm New York He Saw
the Shirt Waist Men.

Colonel J. NJ. Gore, one of the chief pro-
moters of the Indiana G. Ohio Electric Rail-
road. has returned to the Bates. after an
absence of several days i'm New York.
where he went in the interests of the road.
Colonel Gore is president of the company
which c~ontemplates building the road, and
John w. Kern and c.. w. Moores, of this
city, are directors. 1t is understood that a
sufficient amount of money has been raised
with which to construct the road and that
work on the grade will begin within a
short time.
Colonel Gore says the road will first be
constructed between Muncie and the towns
of Bluffton and Portland, and ultimately
will be built into Ohio. AT Muncie the road
will connect with the lines of the Union
Traction Company. Colonel Gore says the
company's franchise will permit the use of
either electric or steam power. 1t is the
intention, however, to equip 1t with electric
cars. forty-ive feet in length and with ZOO
horse power motors. These cars, Colonel
Gore says. will cost in the neighborhood of
5000 each.
