Mrs. Sue II. Johnston, wife of the
late L. W. johnson, and administra-
trix of his estate, has fled her first
account in the probate court as ad-
minlstratrix. The account shows
that there are accounts outside of
Arizona due the estate which she is
trying to collect, and if she is sue
cessful it will enable her to meet all
demands and pay all claims against
the estate. The funds so far col
lected have been applied in the pay
ment of preferred claims, being ex-
penses of last sickness, family al
lowauce and expenses of administra-
ters. The solvency of the estate
depends upon the collection of the
claims referred to above, outside of
Arizona.
TIE assessors office is having
some trouble settling up with the
Jerome justices in the matter of col
Letting poll taxes. 1t appears that
Justices McKinnon and Barton are
so unreasonable as to hold out fee
for doing such work. ]. P. Dillon,
the assessor, says that there would
be nothing in it for him if he paid
them for their trouble. OF course
it is to be regretted that no money
can be turned into the county treas
ury without a portion of it sticking
to his bands. but in this instance
there was no help for it. Both
Barton and McKinnon say that they
are not in Jerome for their health
and that the beautiful scenery off in
the direction Of the red rocks does
} not satisfy all the cravings Of their
inner man.-Reporter.
