CARL WALLACE ON TAXES.
Suggests New System to the State
Tax Commission


Carl Wallace, of Minneapolis, who
was chairman of the tax committee Of
the last house of representatives appear
ed before the tax commission yesterday
morning to advocate a change in the
method of bidding in property sold for
delinquent taxes. His plan is to have
the prospective purchasers of the prop
erty bid down the rate of interest instead
of bidding up the purchase price. AS an
argument in favor of that method he
cited an instance Of a valuable piece Of
business property in Minneapolis, against
which there were delinquent taxes to the
aggregate of S1,50O. The property was
bid in for $1,000, and that entire amount
placed III the county treasury, whereas
only half of that amount really belonged
to the county The remainder was held
until such time as the owner should re-
deem the property or lose it through
failure to pay the taxes In the mean
time, under the present law and custom,
he is charged y per cent on his indebted
ness. Mr.. Wallace argued that if the
purchaser in that case had bid the in
terest down to 9, or per cent, instead
of bidding the property up, it would have
aided the owner to redeem it, in4tsad Of
making it harder for him to do So

 Opinon !n School Case.
HEARD LAST EsaAT
The Case cf Brace Against SOlrer, Wherein the Former at the instance of the School Board, Seeks to Com
 pei City Treasurer to Pay Warrant.

The case of Brace against SOlner, the action brought at the instance of the school board to compel the city treas urer to pay school warrant, was ar gued in the district court last night and at the close of the arguments Judge Wickersham announced that he would deliver an opinion in the case on Mon day next.
 City Attorney HogGatt and P. C. Sullivan represented the city treasurer and Judge EaWsOn the school board. City Attorney Hoggatt and Mir. Sulli- van made exhaustive arguments, citing numerous authorities in support of their contention that the school funds should be disbursed under the direction of the council. Mir. HO4gatt claimed that the school board being only d quasi public corporation, was merely auxiliary to the city council and not independent of it. Two or three times he made the statement that a school board certainly should not be permitted to open a school over a saloon, a5 the laws of many states stated that q school should not be open ed within 400 feet of a saloon; neither could a school board pay $900 for a piece of the unappropriated public do- main.
 Judge Eawson, for the school board, presented his case ina clearand succinct statement. He held that among the duties of the city council was to pro- vide funds for the maintenance of schools. the funds raised by taxation to be placed in the school funds: but the schools had another source of revenue

 The opinion handed down by JU'ge Wickersham recently in the case C. the school board against the city treasurer to en .oin him nom applying any portion of the school funds to the pay ment of salaries of city officials was referred to and Judge Wickersham remarked that the lawyers of this bar disagreed as to his opinion: that the court after all, was also a lawyer, and ia Instances,

MAY SUE "A
 JUSTICE OF PEACE
An interesting Opinion in the Dam age Suit of Mitchell Against For-
 rier U. s. Commissioner Oalen.

Last Saturday afternoon Judge Wick ersham, of the district court, handed down an opinion in the case of Archie Mitchell vs. James l.. Galen, E. w.. Backus and others, overruing the de- murrers of Galen and Backus. Mitchell was layman on No. :, and Galen was formerly United States commissioner at Teller. It was also alleged that Galen acted in collusion with the other defendants and caused the arrest of Mitchell on a charge of stealing gold from the claim. Mitchell was placed under bonds. Subsequently he brought suit against Galen and Backus, and the former demurred on the ground that being g civil officer a suit for damages would not lie against him. Judge Wickersham takes different view. He says: ''If every litigious and dis appointed suitor conld go into another tribunal and maintain an action against him upon any form of allegation what ever for having performed d judicial duty, however erroneously, the office of judge could be filled with safety only by bankrupt knave." Judge Wickersham finds that Galen was without jurisdiction to issue the war- rant for Mitchell's arrest, he being eX- tracting gold from his own ground, and Galen's judicial character cannot be invoked as cloak of his alleged wrong-doing.
 In the case of Foss ct al. vs. Dam, in- volving the possession of a lot, Judge Wickersham also handed down an opinion, holding that possession under the act of March ,, 1891, is founded upon sufficient title to maintain pos sessory action under the code either by ejectment proceedings or suit to quiet title.

"BunCh Grass" "BiII Mertaulh
 SAips Out.
AFRAID OF THE LAW
His Trial for Shooting William Arthurs Was to Have Taken Place on rlOn- day Believed to Have Headed for kuskokwim- Conspiracy Hinted

w. J. Mertaugh, sometimes called "Bunch Grass Bill" is missing. He was indicted by the grand jury last | May for shooting William Arthnrs in the leg on April 2l at Mary's Igloo. Mertaugh, it is alleged, shot from ambush being in his saloon at Mary's IglOo at the time.
 Mertaughs case was set for trial on Monday last, but when it was called Mertaugh was not present. A Solomon City man, who was in Nome-lsst week, told NUGGET representative that Mertaugh had disappeared. The state ment is freely made in some quarters that there was s conspiracy to get Mertaugh out of the way. The details of the alleged conspiracy are not gen. erally known, nor, if one existed, per- haps never will be. His attorneys. J. F. Fenton and Volney T. Hoggatt, scout the idea, and state that Bunch Grass " simply skipped while he had an oppor- tunity.
 Indicted jointly with Mertaugh for the shooting of Arthurs was Ida G. Weymouth, or Mrs Butts, as she now calls herself. She was removing or attempting to remove fence around a lot owned by Arthurs at Mary's Igloo when Arthurs was shot from the saloon Mertaugh is said to have been the only occupant of the place at the time. Mrs. Butts and Mertaugh were brought to Nome, where they gave bail, Commis- sioner Tewkesbury having bound them over to the grand jury and hurried them to Nome, as he feared violence, so great was the indignation over the shooting of Arthurs. Bail was fur nished in Nome in the sum of &, GOO, Roxey Reber, M. Campbell and Mrs. Weymouth being Mertaugh's sureties. The bonds have been declared forfeited.
 Mrs. Weymouth, or Butts, was pretty well "tixed' at one time, but it is said that she has spent most of her money and lost her property. She is said to have put up a thousand dollars in cash for some purpose or otherin Mertaugh's s behalf in this case.
 Mertaugh was indicted by grand jury in September, 1900, for assaulting shoemaker named D. Linehan with a shoehammer in the previous February. This case was never brought to trial, and it has been broadly stated that it

Tugs Reception ard Criole
 and Barge Nome City
ar CAPE ESPENbEnG
They Are in Good Shape, However, and the People on Board Are Wei; --Latest News From the Candle Creek Country.

Authentic news of the whereabouts of the tugs Reception and Oriole which left Nome the latter part of De- tober, in tow of the barge Nome City, for the Keewalik, has been received in Nome.
 Captain Harry Story, of the Oriole and M. F. Moran reached town Satur- day night from the keewalik. The barge and tugs are frozen in the ice about l5 miles southwest of Cape Es- penberg. Capt. Story,left Cape Espen- berg, which marks the entrance to Good Hope bay, on Nov. 13, in com pany with j. Barton, Capt. Danaher Engineer J. Saunders, E. Thomas, J. w. Anamles, NJ. Finkelstein and Matt Hunter. Deering City, at the mouth the Inmachuck, was reached on Nov. 2. The party had hard trip down, falling through the ice in one place, two of the men being barely rescued from drowning. The men were stripped of their clothes and wrapped in fur robes and were hauled on sleds for nearly two days until point on the beach was reached where wood could be found. then tent was put up, q fire started, the clothes dried and a meal cooked. For two days the men lived on raw bacon and suffered great hardships.
 Capt. Story when seen by a NUGGET was experienced all the way up from Nome to Cape Espenberg, no ice what ever being encountered. After round ~ ing the cape a heavy gale sprang up and the tugs and barges drifted out in the straits distance of 75 miles. The ice rolled out of KotZebue sound at a terrific rate carrying the.vessels before it. When the storm abated, the tugs and barge were again headed for the cape, where they were beachel and where they now lie.
 The goods and merchandise taken from Nome were still on the barge when Captain Story left.
 Stanchtield, Holden and Young, who had saloon and gambling outfit on board were figuring on freightlng their stuff over to Candle City, which is distant from Cape Espenberg some 90 miles. Whether they would do so was not determined, but Capt. Story thinks that the scheme is not feasible. There are two women on the barge. These are Miss Stanchfeld and Mrs. Charles Mcdonald. All the party were in good health.

On Candle Creek.

M. r. Moran left Candle City on Nov. P. He confirms the story of o. A. Lund berg as told in the last issue of the NUGGET. Fahey Bros. were still rocking on No. 9 above on Candle with good results: so was Kid O'Brien, the prize fighter, but he stated that he was coming to Nome about Christmas in order to fight Curly Carr or anybody else who wants a scrap.
 The men on the creek have been so busy getting into winter quarters that little prospecting has been done. Ex- tensive prospecting, however, will commence with the new year or before, and by next spring much more will be known about the paystreaks of the various creeks.
 There are between POO and 300 people in that section, and there is plenty of grub, unless there should be a great influx of stampeders. Prices are req sonable, according to the statements made by Mr. Moran. Bacon is B cents pound, flour B a sack, and milk SIP per case. D
 Speaking of the timber on the Kee- walik. MT. Moran says that the timber is ''spotted and scrubby.". as rule, and mo decent timber is met until one 'ascends the river some 9 miles above Candle" The largest trees that he has seen were about 12 inches in di- ameter. But larger trees are said to be found. Over on the ,Buckland, especially in the Bear creek country, the timber.is said to be larger and more abundant.
 A pleasant dance was given by Mir. and Mrs. Baker at Candle City on the evening Of Nov. 2l. It was n most en- joyable affair, the ladies present being Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Pepper, Mrs. F. c.

 Mertaugh came to Nome in 1899 from Dawson, and formerly ran the Beach saloon in the building now owned by Kelly, the druggist.
 Mertaugh was in Nome two weeks ago, and it is believed that on leaving Nome he headed straight for the Kus- kolzwim. It is not at all likely that acy attempt will be made to capture him.
 Arthurs, Mertaugh's alleged victim, recently began suit to recover $2j, ,000 damages from Mertaugh.

The quartz claim located by Sieffert ,& Gibson on Nc. Alder creek, last summer, is being developed. A shaft has already been sunk to a depth of B feet and it will be continued 40 feet further: then the vein will be crosscut in order to determine its extent. The assays made of the ore are excellent, and the owners are extremely happy. The ledge at the surface is 63 feet wide, and the hanging wall at the depth of 8 feet shows eight feet of tale. The ledge is in place, and all the indications are most favorable for the development of a paying mine. It is, therefore altogether likely that the mine will be opened up in an extensive manner next spring with the necessary machinery for it's successful operation.
