MAKING FINAL COLLECTIONS
Of Taxes-Sheriff Burnett is Again in
/ the Field for Cash,

Elsewhere is a notice that Sheriff
Burnett gives to those who have
not completed payment of their tax
es. About 200 persons in the coun-
ty paid half their assessment last
spring and thereby secured the op-
ton of paying the remaining hall
On or before Monday, October 9th.
Only a limited time remains for the
remainder to be paid Such as do
not pay, will be under necessity, as
the sheriff says in his notice, OF
paying not only 10 per cent pen
atty, but in addition II per cent
interest on the remaining half from
the.frs Monday in April to the
time of payment.
Of course, those who square up
the remaining half by October 9th,
will have neither penalty nor in
terest to pay.
The aggregate of the unpaid bal
ance of taxes affected as above is
about $4,000 The date for pay
ment without cost expires two
weeks from next Monday.

Taxpayers Visit the Court House

private Office of the clerk, but the
door opening into the corridor is
kept open for the convenience of
callers.
A number of taxpayers have call
ed to look after their assessments.
The purpose of many was merely
to ascertain the amount of their
valuations, and in most instances,
they went away satisfied. John
son Porter, however lodged a COM
plant with the board. The asses
sor's valuation on the Sorbin pro-
perty is s., 200. Recently Mr.
Porter bought the property at
$2,375. He claimed that much of
the property in the county is as
sessed at about half its cash value,
and he thought that there should
be a reduction in the valuation on
the property in question. The
matter was taken under advise
ment by the board.

GOT DRINKS MIXED
His Oath and How He Took it-Didn It
Have the Hang of Things.

He was making final proof On a
homestead in the clerks Office. In
the process, it became necessary for
him to take an oath. He had nev-
er done that sort of thing before,
and didn't have the hang of things.
He held up his right hand when
told to, and then stood dazed-like
while the clerk ratified perfunctor-
lily through the oath. Finally the
official closed with the well known
words, so help me Cod" and
then paused for the reply.
But the youth didn't reply. The
truth was, he didn't know just
what was wanted. With a per-
turbed countenance, and his fng-
ers working nervously at his panta-
looms, he stood, dumb as an oyster.
Suddenly, however, his face
frightened. He remembered the
words, So-he1p me God," and
feeling sure that he had the right
answer, sung out boldly, Amen" )"

OLD TITLES TO DENVER roTs.
People Who Abandoned Them in 1880
Now Set Up Claim,

People Who Abandoned Them in 1850
Now Set Up Claim.
A number of claims have been made
IN the last few days to portions of the
city OF Denver now exceedingly valu.
able, and it seems to be the intention
/ OF those who hold the old titles 10
property to endeavor to enforce their
rights Abstract companies have re.
ce1Ved many inquiries in the past few
weeks. The claims made include some
OF the most valuable portions of the
city in all localities, including Capitol
! hill.
| One lady has seven deeds from the
Old Auraria Town COMPANY to tracts
OF land on Sixteenth and Seventeenth
avenues, up the hill from Broadway
she Will never need to worry any
more about finances if she can nrove
her claim. The property is worth high
into the millions. She also has deeds
to tracts of land in West Denver which
are exceedingly valuable, although not
as high priced as the land on Capitol
; hill.
Representatives Of a trust company
nave also been making inquiries
I recently concerning old titles to prom
erty on which the city of Denver is
now located. They have been endeay-
orlng to secure information as to the
difference in value between lots in 1860
and lots now. They have been figur-
Ing Oh the amounts Of taxes that have
been paid all these years by those in
possession of the property.
A man in Dakota writes that he owns
three or four blocks in the neignbor.
hood of the city hall. He says that
several hundred lots on the most
; valuable parts of 1arimer street and
Market street belong to him He is
not backward in stating his claims and
insists that he has the real right and
will make the strongest possible con.
| test to establish the truth of his asser.
ton
| About the year 1860 hundreds OF
| people left Denver and abandoned the
! lots they had bought from the Auraria
Town company. They left Denver not
expecting to return and caring nothing
for the property they held as it was
then practically worthless and Guild
not be traded even for a pair of boots
Along about 1870 the legislature
took notice of this abandoned property
and passed an act that it should be
confscated and sold. Under the pro
visions of this act the sheriff put ur
some of the best property in Denver
today and it was bought in for the
taxes that had accumulated upon it
West Denver secured enough money
from the sale of property thus aban
doned to erect its first school buildins
and other parts of the town had as
much or more.
This would seem to be a pretty good
title and to silence the claims to these
old lots, but one can never tell wha
the courts will do when real estate
titles are involved.
One of the claims made is that in :
flood of Cherry creek the records a
the city hall were carried away AM
the titles of property holders recorded
in the records were destroyed.

MUSCULAR TRAINING.
Students of Today Not Pale Like
Those of the Past.

Of late years extraordinary clever
ness has been expended at all our
leading educational establishments in
devising moss thorough systems for
bringing out the physical as we'll as the
mental powers proportionately. A
far greater degree of care has been
exercised in the judicious pruning
away of those sports and features of
games fruitful of serious injury. That
proficiency which first alarmed the
old-time professor and aroused grave
fears lest due attention to learning be
lost sight of has proved of the ut
most advantage both to students them
selves and to those outsiders able to
profit from the lessons taught by their
example. The front row of scholars
today presents an exceedingly pleas.
ing contrast to the pale, weak and
emaciated specimens of earlier
periods.
