CLEARING TAX TITLES.

The county commissioners have for
some time past been engaged in clearing
up the confusion which has arisen In
the matter Of tax sales Of property in
the county for the past 10 or y years
In 1891 and 1892 the assessment rolls of
the county were padded TO great ex-
tent for some cause or other. A great
deal Of property was assessed TO two
different owners urpatente0 lands we're
assessed, and In all It is estimated that
there were about 200 pieces OF land err
roneously assessed In some Instances
one owner would pay the taxes on the
property and the other alleged owner
would be in default and the property
would be sold for taxes Such action
has caused endless confusion In the
matter Of tax titles In 1900 II is esu-
mated that about $40, 900 worth Of prop.
erty was sold at tax sale which was
enormously assessed. Complaints are
coming in every day Of some wrongful
sales under o tax levy and the commits
sioners are clearing them up as fast
as possible

ANOTHER CLAYf00L JAILED
Arrested Because He Worked the In
dlgnant Racket at Headquarters,

Frank Claypool, brother to Charles
Claypool who was arrested the other
day for grand larceny made bold
bad bluff at police headquarters this
afternoon, had his bluff called and Is
now languishing behind the bars with
his lllustrlous brother
The trouble really began last night
when Frank left a package TO be de-
livered to Charley. The officers on the
night shift were indiscreet enough 10
examine the package, and they found
secreted therein quantity Of opium.
Claypool came back TO the hall today
10 see IL his orders" had been obeyed,
and was Mortified to find that they had
not.
Giving vent to expressions more vio-
lent than elegant or polite, he wanted
20 know why In the blue blaEcs, etc,
the "enchee' was not delivered to
Charles. He waxed warmer and warm
err until the thermometer In the police
station registered several degrees
above fever heat, and that por-
ton OF anatomy Immediately beneath
Sergt. Burbldges collar also got "het
up" and he ordered the rash young
Iuhl SedICntu anu lOchfu up.
Even this did not satisfy the young
man and he continued his rawlings,
claiming that he was arrested un-
.awfully. The officers, however, had
read the following in some book on
ordinances and they knew they were
doing right:
ANY person who shall take INTO the
city prison, or deliver to any prisoner
therein confined, or in custody Of any
officer OF such person, any weapon,
tool, or attempt so TO do. without the
consent OF the officer in charge, shall
upon conviction, be liable to a fine OF
not TO exceed y25"
While opium is not exactly an "in-
toxicating drink" still II will make
drunk come and will at times act worse
than prohibition whisky. claypool will
be tried on Monday. His brother will
be defended by Atty. G. b. Stewart.
Claypools mother called at the po-
lice station late this afternoon and
deposited S25 bonds for him.
