ASSESSOR SELLS SHEEP.
And Sheriff Newman Offers An
other Bunch to Highest Bidder.

| Under the provisions OF the State law
Assessor J. B. Williamson on Thurs
day last sold 173 of the Loo sheep lev
led upon by him a few DAYS previous in
Snake Valley to satisfy the taxes due
on the bunch OF 1000 or more for the
year 1901. As stated last week The
sheep were the property Of the Deep
Creek Farm & Live Stock Company of
Utah, and for some time past they have
been ranging in the vicinity of Snake
Valley, the owners neglectine TO pay
either taxes or license in this State as
required by law
When Assessor Williamson and Sher-
if Newman learned of the violation of
the law they Immediately started out
and, locating the herds, made demand
for the amounts due, and as the money
was not forthcoming, the levy and sale
followed. The sheep were bid in by
Geo. W. Baker at 81 30 per head, and
out of the proceeds, amounting to
$3.50. so, the taxes and costs were paid.
This satisfies the taxes only, and
Sheriff Newman, as license collector
holds 300 more of the animals on an
attachment to enforce the payment of
the sum of 300 due for license, to which
will be added the accrued costs
and expenses of sale. The Sheriff will
offer these sheep to the highest bidder
as soon as five days notice of the sale
has been given, and when this amount
has been secured, the Deep Creek Com
pany will be at liberty to range their
sheep In Nevada for the remainder of
the year.
Sheriff Newman and Assessor Will
hanson returned to town on Saturday,
leaving q keeper to guard the f1ocks,
and the Sheriff left again yesterday
morning to conduct the sale.
The White Pine officials are making
a reputation for themselves as tax and
license collectors, and it may as well be
understood that transient sheep receiv-
ing the benefit of White Pines salubri-
Gus climate will invariably be required
to pay their board in advance.
