RUCKER GIVEN FREEDOM.
He Had shot n Man in Defense of
His Wffe's Honor.

Washington, Ca, March l9.-The
most interesting commitment trial
known to Wilkes county was cOnclud-
ed late last night. when Frank Ruck-
er was given his freedom.
On Feb. 13 Rucker met DR.. ]. L.
Tharpe in the road, demanded that he
throw up his hands. and without wait
ing for a reply, cmptied the contents
of single-barrel musket into Tharpes 8
body; then broke the empty gun over
the head of his victim. The day be-
fore Tharpe had made an attempt to
drug and wrong Fuckers wife, II is
alleged.
A week after the killing Rucker went
before a justices court for commit
ment or freedom. The state was not
ready for the trial, and asked for
continuance, which was refused by the
court. In order to get the continuance,
any way, the prosecution dismissed the
warrant putting all on notice that
new warrant would be issued.
When the second warrant was issued
and trial ordered, the counsel for de-
fense Contended that a court of COM
petent and similar jurisdiction had al
ready passed on the case, and the new
justice had no power to try the case
second time. To this the counsel for
the state objected and were sustained
by the court. The case was stubborn
ly contested for two days, and the ver-
dict was received with applause. The
prosecution will take the matter be-
fore the grand jury in May.

PAVING OF ROSABEL
Refers Final Order to the Com.
mittee on Streets for
Discussion.

Unlike the board of aldermen, the
assembly, at it's meeting Thursday
night, refused to give immediate con-
sideration to an order calling for the
paving of Rosabel street, and sent 1t
to the committee on streets instead.
Representatives of the Schurmeier
Wagon company We're present and Sc
cured the postponement on the ground
that there was a difference of opinion
as to the kind of paving material to be
used, and it was desired to discuss the
matter in committee.
Assemblyman Schurmeier says he
intends, if possible, to have the paving
Of the street held over until next year,
as several new buildings are planned
for the street, and to pave it now would
greatly interfere with their construc-
ton. One of the buildings is to be To-
Gated at Seventh and Rosabel streets,
for the use of the Sharood & Crooks
Shoe company, and two others are to
be built at Fifth and Rosabel streets,
for Crane & Ordway and D. G. Shep-
ard.
At the meeting Thursday night, Aid.
Dahlquist was present and made a
lengthy appeal for the approval of the
order, but his plea did not prevail. Mr..
Dahlquist thereupon gave notice that
he would ask to have the street closed
to traffic, as it was in a dangerous con-
dition.

MAY BUY LAMP POSTS
Board of Public Works Would
Save Cost of Lighting.

If the approval of the council can be
obtained the board of public works will
this year invest about $4,000 in iron
lamp posts.
BY close economy the board has
saved that amount from it's lighting
appropriation of $185,00O, and it now
wants to use the money in providing
!. the city with something it has been
needing for years.
Every time the contract for the light
ing Of the streets with gas and gaso-
line has changed hands new posts have
had to be installed by the contractor,
and the result has been delay, often of
months, with an increase in cost of the
lighting supplied.
So keen and strenuous has been the
competition for st. Paul street light
ing that the outgoing contractor each
year has invariably refused to either
sell or rent his posts to the succeeding
contractor, and districts have been in
darkness for weeks as a result.
1t is expected that the rivalry for the
lighting contract for next year will be
unusually keen. The Cleveland Vapor
Light company at present holds the
contract for gasoline lighting.
The American Development company.
former rival, has given notice of it's
intention to enter the race, and num-
Der of other firms are also expected to
compete.
If the city owned it's own poles, the
total cost of which would be about
$4,000, the board says much trouble
would be obviated and the cost of the
light greatly reduced. 1t has been agi-
, tating the question for the past two
years and hopes to gain it's point this
time.

rum down on May1 and he befreved ne
mad made an ample assessment OF all
of the housesI5Iin that line.
He then said he had talked personally
with all of the merchants and big tax
payers and believed he had gained
turns of theirq property. In assessing
goods and merchandise he had, in most
cases, been able to gain access to the
merchants inventories. He reiterated
that he was after totals, and so long as
he could get results. he was not pune
tilieus as to the classification of prop
erty in the schedules.
Couldn't Assess Dan Patch,
Dan Patch was referred to, and Mr..
Minor said that he would have been
very glad to have added the horse to
his lists, but he could not do so, as the
owner, Mr.. Savage, had proved to his
SdClSIdctlOQ THAT the HOfiiS OIL Ian
Patch was not in Minneapolis but on
the stock farm out in the state. In
response to an inquiry, he said that he
had assessed Mr.. Savage $4,000 on the
Information Stock Food company and
he believed that to be ample.
Mr.. Greiner asked Mr.. Minor to ex-
plain why the Minneapolis assessment
on wagons. carriages, ETC., for this year,
including street cars and automobiles,
is only 1,256, 521, while the assessment
on the same class last year without the
addition of those classes of property
was $1,206,604, or within $4,000 of that
amount.
Mr. Minor said that last year agri-
cultural implements were to a great
extent included under wagons, car
riages, ETC., and this year they had
gone in as goods and merchandise. He
was then asked why the goods and
merchandise did not show the effects
of the transfer, and again he took
refuge in generalities, and said he was
chiefly concerned in getting results in
proof of which he cited the board to
