BY paying into the county treasury
over $4,000 the First National and
Baker, Boyer National banks of this
city have practically put an end to the
litigation now pending in theS United
States circuit court, between the banks
and Walla Walla county, over the taxes
on the stock of the banks.
Saturday afternoon the First Nation
al bank paid to Treasurer HaWley the
sum of $4,660.20 in full for the assess
ment Of 1902 on shares of stock of that
institution. OF the amount $345.21 was
for penalty and interest which has been
added to the principal tax since June
80, when the tax became delinquent.
Today the Baker, Boyer National
bank paid $3,4S5.36 tax and $27S.S2 in
terest and penalty a total for that III
stitution of $3,764.1S
The total amount paid in the treas
ury by the two banks is $S.4243S.
When the county board OF equaliZa-
ton met in August, 1902, the banks
through their attorneys, Sharpstein &
Sharpstein, appeared before the boarc
and asked that the assessment on the
bank stock be reduced, for the reason
that they deemed the figures returned
by the county assessor excessive. Act

Meteor Train Flies the
Track in Kansas.
MANY WERE KILLED OR INJURED
Cars TeIescoped and DemoIished-Ac~
cident Was Caused by Mis-
placed Switch.

FORT SCOTT, Kas.. Dec. 21-The
st. Louis and San Francisco meteor
train was ditched by spreading rails
near Godfrey, Kas., at $50 this morn
ing. The train consisted of seven
coaches including two sleeping cars.
The dead are numbered variously. One
report says six and another nine. 1t
is also reported that scarcely a pas
senger aboard the train escaped in
Jury. A relief train of surgeons and
nurses has been sent from here
y later report from the scene of the
wreck says the accident took place at
a switch which was either spread or
misplaced while the train was at full
speed. The engine was demolished,
the baggage car was hurled 100 feet
from the track, the mail car was
smashed into kindling wood, and the
smoker was telescOped on top of the
engine The chair car with every
seat full slid 200 feet after the wreck.
The engineer and conductor were kill
ed. Nine dead We're taken out befol
relief arrived. The injured fireman
lay beneath the trucks of the smoker
and was taken out by digging a
trench.
The nine dead are as follows:
CONDUCTOR GEORGE HOYT.
ENGINEER CHARLES DEWEESE.
FIREMAN THEODORE BISHARD.
T. WYNER, of Fleming. Kas.
ASA MORELAND, of Lenexa, Kas.
LON CARBIN, of Besse, Okla.

SHERMAN NOBLE, of Cooperton.
Okla.
JOHN BRUBAKER of Kansas City,
MAIL CLERK ADAMSON.
An unknown man is fatally hurt.
Sixty passengers We're injured, Of
whom four are hurt seriously. The
latest theory is that the switch was
broken. The train was running so
miles an hour when derailed. A
freight crew turned the switch in pass
ing the train The fiagman has not
been seen since the wreck. The en-
gineer of the wrecked train was found
in the debris of his engine dead, his
hand tightly clinched on the airbrake.
The fire which followed the wreck was
extinguished by the passengers.

banks again went before the commits
sioners with a proposition to compro-
mise on a basis of q 40 per cent reduc-
ton on the value of each share of
stock as given in by the assessor. The
board declined to compromise and they
banks allowed the tax to become de-
linquent. A similar proposition was
taken to the city council, in July when
sitting as a board of equalization, and
after considering the matter, it was
decided to compromise, which was
done and the taxes We're paid by the
bank.
Several months ago the banks COM
menced an action in the United States
court to enjoin County Treasurer HaW-
Ley from collecting the tax and the
case was about ready for hearing, the
taking of evidence being set for the
next term of the court to be held in
WalIa Valla. This practically settles
all further litigation and the two
cases viii probably be dismissed by
the banks this week.
This year the board of equalization

above what was returned by the as
