TAX FOR HERDING SHEEP.
order Not Yet Made. But Small Tax
Probable.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
TACOMA, March 14-D. B. Shelter, state
forest superintendent. I'm referring to the
dispatches sent out regarding the collec-
ton Of a small tax from sheep men for
herding sheep on the Rainier reserve, says
he hardly thinks any order has yet been
made although It is probable an order
will be made requiring the payment OF s
cents per head for the season for all
sheep pastured on the reserve.
Mr. Shelter recommended this on the
ground that the payment OF so small a
sum Of cents per head for the season
would no more than reimburse the gov
eminent for the services of the forest
rangers. who In a measure assisted in
caring for the stock by protecting II from
Wild beasts. preventing nres, opening
trails and like service.

BODY FLOATING
 IN MILL POND
Mrs. Ella Hodges Murdered 12 Miles South of 0peIika-
 Men Under Arrest.

Columbus, Ga, March 19.-A special to the EnquirerSun from Opelika, Ala, says:
 News has reached here that Mrs. Ella Hodges, a white woman living about twelve miles south of here, was found dead float ing in Tripling's mill pond yesterday morn ing. Her brother-in-law, Frank Littleton, and a negro named Henry Thomas are now in jail at this place accused of the crime of murdering the woman.
 MT. Robert Freeman found the woman's body floating in the water. The report is that the woman was in delicate condition, and that she was murdered to conceal the responsibility The evidence so far is purely circumstantial. The officers having charge of Littleton saw a crowd of men approaching from behind on horseback and took to the woods with the prisoner. They came ten miles to Opelika on foot and mostly through the woods and fields'
 Lee county Is greatly excited over the case. It is thought that the murder was committed Saturday or Sunday night, and that the body of the woman was thrown in- to the pond to hide the crime. The woman, it is said, was last seen with Frank Lit tleton about 1 o'clock Saturday. Later when the woman was missing Littleton in- stituted search and found her clothing on the banks of the mill stream.
