VIVASKI ASKS HIS RELEASE.
Says He Is unjustly Detained in the
County Jail

John NiNOski was committed to the
county jail Wednesday by Justice of
the Peace r.. j. Delevan on complaint
of James Thompson in default of hail
on charges of larceny by bailce and
malicious mischief.
Yesterday through Attorney r. l..
Levy he made application for his re-
lease on Il writ of habeas corpus. He
alleges that he owes Thompson 81 for
rent which was the inspiring cause of
the charges against him. There is no
foundation whatever to the charge of
larceny by bailee and the malicious
mischief charge. he says. grows out of
the fact that while Ninoski was mov-
ing out of Thompson'S house Il window
was broken,
There will be Il hearing in the case
Monday noon.

Assessors Instructions.

The field deputy assessors re-
ported last Saturday and received
their instructions and supplies.
Assessor Duff instructed each dep
uty very carefully in substance as
follows
To be sure to see every taxpayer
in his district personally and Sc
cure a list of his property, not to
ma Ike the assessment on statements
of neighbors. He urged them to
do faithful work, to put in full time
every day. To assess all alike and
not to show any favors. He par
ticularly charged them on no con
sideration to alter the detail list
after having made an assessment
and given the taxpayer a duplicate
stub. lie instructed them to make
a uniform assessment of live stock
on the following basis:
Horses, cayuse, one year old,
from 50 to $40. American horses,
two years old, $40 to $25; three
years old, $25 to $50; work horses,
three years old and over, 500 to
500.
Stations and breeding stock to
be valued by The assessor.
Mules to be assessed at the same
value as horses.
Calves from s to II months old
are to be assessed at So per head !;
two years old and under, $40 per
head; cows, three years old and
over, $40 per head other cattle at
from SIS to $40 per head, accord
ing to grade
Sheep from $175 to SO per head
according to grade. Hogs from 81
to $40 per head according to age
and weight.
Each deputy will send in every
Saturday the detail list completed
during the week, so that the asses
sor can keep tab on what they are
doing and also make sure that the
footings are correct.-Commoner.

did not defend its quality, but said
positively that the Ben Davis is
the business apple of the United

ment of the meeting as representa-

raise an apple higher in quality

with most wide spread favor
