INFANTS WERE MIXED
AT GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE
Trouble Experienced in Identifying
Five Day Old Babies Settled
by Mothers Instinct.

WEST MADISON, ILL.,, Sept. 9Th.
power of women to discover in five
day-old babe resemblance to it's fashol
has solved the problem of confuset
identity which had threatened to mai
the peace OF two homes, and had onl,
temporarily been settled by 10: after
the grandmother. Mrs. Katherine Lang
deau Shelton. of this city. had lost lracl
of two infants, which were BORN in hel
home about the same time.
The two babies were born within 2
few minutes of each other. in the home
of Mrs. Shelton, their grandmother, who
welcomed them into the world
The house was in furry. Mrs. Shell
ton became bewildered. One baDe was
a boy and the other was girl. All the
her younger daughter. Mrs. Taylor, had
first become mother. But she could
not remember whether the child was a
boy or girl The mothers just at the
moment were unable to help her.
Mrs. Shelton was afraid at first to de-
clare her perplexity. When her daugh-
ter Halle asked for her child she gave
her the girl. because Hallie's first chill /,
born two years ago, had been boy.
Mrs. Shelton's conscience was not
easy after her arbitrary ruling. She
called the fathers into consultation, with
the result that they both declared the
mothers must be informed and left to
decide.
The disclosure was made. and neither
mother wanted a child that was not
hers. but neither was able to say which
was her child. until the step -grandfath-
er. Frank Shelton. proposed that lots
be cast. This was agreed upon.
Mrs. Taylor, who has boy two years
old, prayed to win the girl. Mrs. Morse,
who has a girl eight years old. pray
ed to win the boy. Cards were pre-
pared. and put in hat. one being mark
ed boy" and the other Girl" Their
prayers were answered.
Afterward, while nursing the girl sne
to be hers. Mrs. Taylor dis
covered the resemblance between The
other child, then in her sisters arms.
and her own husband. She dropped
he little girl instantly. calling out:
Laura, give me my child, you lave
ny child
Soon afterward all the women in the
confirmed the young
mother in her conjecture. and with lit
lie girl No. Mrs. Morse departed with
ler husband for Flora. ILL., Mrs. Taylor

SLAIN BY WIFE HE
INTENDED TO KILL
MINISTER LOOMS SCOUTS
AFRICAN MASSACRE TALES
Portuguese Government Has Received
No Word of Alleged Killing of
American Missionaries,

The State Department has been in
formed by Minister Loomis, at Lisbon.
Portugal, that the Portuguese govern
ment has received no official report OF
the alleged killing of American mis-
sionaries in Portuguese East Africa.
Minister Loomis doubts the report. and
so states in his message to the State
Department.
Several letters received by Mr..
Loomis would seem to indicate that the
sensational newspaper reports to the
effect that American and other mis-
sionaries had been killed by natives in
the recent uprising near Biho. Baru.
and other points in the African colonial
possessions have caused much uneasi-
ness in this country.

the parties.
In People v. Morse, Idaho, 662, re-
LIED upon by appellant, the assessment
was made under a statute authorizing
the officer when the taxpayer does not
own sufficient real estate within the
county to secure the payment of the
tax to seize and sell sufficient of the
assessed property to satisfy the tax
es and costs. In cases of this nature
where the remedy is special and sum-
mary statutes are strictly construed
and the owner has right to insist up
on strict performance of all the ma
terial requirements of the statute and
especially those which are designed
for his security and the non perform
ance Of which may operate to his pre-
judice.

Opinion by Belknap, J.

This is an action for taxes assessed
against defendant for the year 1900.
Plaintiff recovered judgment for the
full amount claimed, together with
penalties, etc. Defendant appeals.
Error is assigned upon the introduc-
ton in evidence of the delinquent list
upon the ground that it was not certi-
fed to by the Auditor.
Section 1906 Comp. Laws, provides:
ION the first Monday in December
the ex-OfficiO Tax Receiver, at the close
of his official business on that day,
shall enter upon the assessment roll
q statement that he has made levy
upon all the property therein assess
ed, the taxes upon which have not
been paid, and shall Immediately as
certain the total amount of taxes then
delinquent, and file in the Office Of the
Auditor the list of all persons and
property then owing taxes, verified by
the oath OF himself or deputy, which
shall be completed by the second Mon
day in December, and shall be known
as the delinquent list; ~
BY Section 1118 the delinquent list
is made prima facie evidence in any
court to prove the assessment, prop
erty assessed, the delinquency, the
amount of taxes due and unpaid, and
that all the forms of law in relation to
the assessment and levy of such tax
es nave been complied with.
This was the mode of proof adopted
in this case and was in strict conform
ity with the provisions of Section 11O6
and Section 111S, Comp. Laws, and
did not require certification by the
Apditor.
Under the provisions of Section Ills
a copy of the delinquent list may be
used for the same purpose, and in that
case the statute provides the Auditor
in whose custody the original is, may
certify to the copy.
In connection with this assignment
it is urged that the delinquent list
does not comply with the requirements
of Section 1898 of the revenue law, in
that it does not follow the form pres
cribed by the statute for the assess
ment roll in numerous particulars
and nat the rate of taxation was high
er than allowed by law.
All these matters were prima facia
established by the delinquent list, an(
no attempt in evidence made to i'm
peach it, nor to show that any sub
stantial right of defendant was affect
ed by the failure of the officers to fol
low the statutory form.
Section 1885, Comp. Laws, provide
that no exception shall be regarded ul
