in the tax assessment cases of the
boards of review OF the towns of Ellis
worth and Jewell against the board Of
supervisors of Hamilton county.
Tax assessment values in these-as In
many Iowa towns-was very unequal.
The town lot values were equitable, but
values placed upon farm lands, within
the incorporated town limits for assess
ment purposes. were exceedingly low.
In order to equalize these values the
board of supervisors sought to raise the
farm valuations. Upon this question
the Iowa law is peculiar. Assessment
valuations upon one class Of lands with
lin an Incorporation can not be either
raised or lowered without similarly eff
fecting all classes of lands The board
of supervisors at its June meeting of

per acre-an increase of SO 1-3 per cent

tant one and the officers feel they have
ut last secured the prime mover in one
OF the smoothest gangs of burglars that
has infested the state in years.
Several successful robberies of post
Offices and banks have taken place in
northern Iowa within the past month
and the authorities all over the country
have been bending every energy to ap-
prehend the guilty persons. The United
States Express Company in Chicago
was notified to be on the watch for any
suspicious packages that might come to
their office from the locality of the rob-
berries. A short time ago package ar
rived from this city addressed to James
Moore, in care of one Conley. Moore's
r!ace OF business IS on South clark
street in Chicago and both persons
whose names appeared on the wrapper
were known to have unsavory reputa-
tions. The express authorities took the
liberty to open the package and found
inside one of the finest sets of burglar
tools they had ever seen. In addition
there were a quantity of one and two
cent postage stamps and quantity OF
due stamps" besides two small sacks
OF pennies. When Conley called for the
package he was arrested and on his per-
son was letter from the prisoner tell
ing him to send his mail to Williams,
Iowa.
An officer was dispatched to Williams
ard the local authorities told to keep a
watch for him in Fort Dodge. He was
located in this city, but got away be-
fore the authorities could get out war
rant. When he called for his mail at
Williams he was promptly arrested and
brought to this city for trial. In his
grip was found a complete set of bur-
Clar tools, a bottle of nitro-glycerin la
beled hair tonics," skeleton keys and
every facility for turning trick" at
Williams. When searched at the police
station two small saws were located in
the waistband of his trousers.
This morning the prisoner was given
|,hearing before Commissioner Johnstone
and taken to Sioux City for safe keep
ing until the next term of the federal
court, which is on the 18th Of next

ruled upon new legal question in this

The suit is that Of the First National

as to whether petition which had not
been signed by the plaintiff and counsel
had any standing in court. Judge
Hutchinson held that 1T did have stand
ing, and overruled fhe motion made by
the defense to dismiss. The court per-
mitted the plaintiff to amend, and in this
they may correct their petition. The at
torneyss for both sides were very posi-
tive in their positions concerning this
.technicality, and tits likely the supreme
court, may be called upon to decide the
question.
