per before they returned to their homes
in this city. He acted very gentle
manly but didn't offer to pay them for
the time which they lost from their du-
ties here. The officers didn't object,
naturally, but they wanted something
genuine to chase after and expected to
do so when they were called to Wooster.
The dogs already have proven their
sagacity to trail and it is claimed could
easily have taken up the scent If they
had only few tracks to follow or a
slight scent to start from, but it ap-
pears these were despoiled, and all
chances to track the prisoners were lost
thereby.
The officers state that they talked
with numerous citizens who stated that
they didn't know why the dogs were
sent for, and that they were not at all
in favor of having such money spent to
return the poor tramps to the prison,
If they could leave Wooster. A promi-
nent doctor residing there stated that
the fellows ought to have been liberated
long ago. ...

SALE OF THE PROPERTIES
Will Be Held on Different Basis
Than Formerly.
WILL GET VALID TAX TITLES
Plan That VIII he Operated Upon SO That
the Properties win Not BE Wholly
Sacrificed For Want of Pay
ment OF Small Tax

County Auditor Reed on Thursday
completed the delinquent tax list and
advertised the properties for sale, The
list this year is much smaller than
usual. The footings have not yet been
made but it is not expected that the
delinquents will run over $4,000 or
$15, 900 at the outside. Last year they
amounted to $4,000. Treasurer 7. H.
Smith says that for the past week the
delinquents have been rushing in and
settling up at great rate. From
Sc, 900 to $4,000 has been coming in every
day.
The sale of delinquent properties for
taxes will be held at the court house
on January 16. The sale this year
will be conducted differently from the
past. The decision in the court last
term which practically invalidated all
the tax sales heretofore made in the
county because of the irregularity in
to provide against such contingency
in the future and the coming sale will
be made strictly according to law.
The law provides that when prop
critics are offered for sale for taxes
bidders must come in and bid, each man
of the property he will take and pay
the taxes. The one who agrees to take
the smallest part will get the taxes to
pay. This is the plan it is proposed to
pursue at the coming sale. Naturally
it would be difficult to divide up the
properties in many cases and there is
still a way to get around the division
if the purchasers stand together when
the time of the sale occurs. In case
the buyers all refrained from. making
bids on fractional parts of the proper
ties but should agree among them
selves as to the bidding beforehand
it will be easy to control matters so
that bidders will bid that the smallest
part Of each property they will take
and pay the taxes will be the whole
thing. If a buyer offers to take the
whole property and pay the tax and
no one offers to take any less of it he
will get it as a matter of course. And
the sale in that event will be legal and
the purchaser can go into court after
ward and collect his penalties or get a
deed for the land.
Most of the delinQuents this year,
ers as a rule pay their taxes up prompt
ly and very little farm property is on
the list.

The poor powder would cost

Royal Baking Powder may cost little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
