but he lived to kill Albert Furr,
an old cattleman westo of Checotah.
He shot Furr in the back, and
Stiles, another cattleman, took
shot at Glass and got one of his

made up somehow and his crime

got ten years at hard labor and

portance is attached to the announce
ment from Taku that the expedition to
Pao-Ting-Fu will leave on Friday. 1t
is thought strange that no German
troops are mentioned as participating
in the expedition. Apart from the
belief that the Chinese emperor's

is said that General Yung Lu, former
viceroy of Pe-Chi-Li, and commander
in-chief Of the northern armies Of
China, who is one of those held re-
sponsible for the outrages at Pekin, If
not for the Boxer outbreak. is also at

ais Frey and Linewitch, to take meas
ures to withdraw the legations and

stances permit.
Diplomatic circles in London are in
clined to believe that this step VIII lead
to similar action upon the part of the
United States and Japan, and that
while Germany may hold out until
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee
arrives in China, she will ultimately
acquiesce, leaving Great Britain little
choice but to follow suit.

In Its Argument as to Assessment
Review With the Tax

JUDGE SAYS 1T CANNOT BE DONE.
Faiied Banker Hanged in Emgy and

CrOp Is Poor

Crop Is Poor.
Fort Huron, Mich, Sept. 12.-Judge
Whipple has denied the mandamus
asked by the state tax commission to
compel the city officials to allow them
the privilege of revising the city as
sessment rolls at this time. The court
holds that the commissioners have no
right to make changes in the rolls aft
er they passed out of the hands of
the city assessors which was July 49,
Judge Whipple says: '"The contention
Is made that the statute governing
acts of the commission Is not applica-
bic to Port Huron. I think it Is and
see no difficulty in the reviewing of
the several rolls If it is done in season,
but 1t seems obvious that the applica-
ton comes too late"
Why Grand Rapids Was Different.
The tax commission claimed that the
situation here was the same as at
Grand Rapids, where the supreme
court had given it full power to re-
view the rolls. Judge Whipple points
to the fact that Grand Rapids has
two rolls, one for city assessments and
another for state and county, while
Port Huron has one for both. Thus
one part Of the roll could not be re-
viewed separate from the other, and
therefore there is no comparison. In
conclusion the judge says he denies
the mandamus, but without prejudice
should later application be made,
which is to say that if the commits
sioners come to Port Huron and ask
for the rolls at the proper time, he
would issue mandamus if refused.

And Used the Efigy for Shotgun and Rifle
Practice.
Cedar Springs, Mich, Sept. 1.-THE
feeling caused by the failure of f. l..
Fuller's bank here three months ago
Is apparently growing more bitter. One
morning last week when the townspeo-
pie began to stir about their attention
was attracted to what appeared to be
a man suspended in midair from a
wire that stretched across Main street
1t was quickly discovered that the fig
ure was an effigy which had been
placed in position during the night
The figure bore placards bearing in
scriptions among which were: II stole
from the poor widows, but now
smile;" 81 filed my pockets well" 1.-The
poor widows revenge" and Have
faith"
Shortly after the effigy was discov-
cred men appeared in Main street with
shotguns and rifles and amused them
selves by shooting at the figure, COM
pletely Kidding it. Then the small boys
took a shy at it with sling-shots. The
figure was firmly fastened, however,
and in its riddled condition still sways
In the breeze. When Fuller's bank
failed it had on deposit about $50, 900,
most Of which being the savings Of
widows and farmers.
