SATURDAY. JAN. ,, 1903
cos,osAr,os TAXES.

The treasurer OF Otero county
is between the devil and the deep
sea as regards efecting a settle
ment with the corporations for
taxes due the county. According
to the assessment roll the corpor-
ations are indebted to the county
for 1901 taxes in the sum Of about
SIoo, 900, and at the present mo-
mcnt there are about $40, 900 worth
OF county warrants outstanding,
bearing six per cent interest,
something unusual and unprece-
dented ip the history OF the county.
The treasurer is anxious to sub
serve the best interests OF the
people of the county, but is IN
doubt as to whether he can make
a compromise with the corpora
tions that would be legal and ex-
onerate his bondstnen from all
liability.
The county commissioners pass
eda a resolution at the last meeting
authorizing and directing the
county treasurer to accept S36. 900
from the Santa Fe in full payment
OF all taxes due, except state
taxes. The county commissioners
however, have no power. to Eau
thorize and direct" the county
treasurer to do anything. not in
strict accordance with law. In
case of an adverse suit al law in
regard to the matter, the county
treasurer and his bondmen, and
not the county commissioners.
would be solely responsible and
liable for the amount of taxes
abated. There IS no law on the
statute books of this or any other
state that gives the county com-
missioners or the county treasurer
power to abate taxes for state.
school or municipal purposes, at
least that is the opinion OF some
OF the best lawyers in Colorado.
One day this week representa-
tives Of the Santa Fe made an
"official tender" of a New York
draft for $50. 600 TO County Treas
urer Beerbohm, in consideration
of which they requested receipt
in full for all taxes due the county
by the railroad company. The
''official tender" was respectfully
declined. The Santa Fe is in
debted to Otero county for the
taxes of 1901 to the amount OF
sos. 600, in round numbers for
state, county, municipal and
school purposes. They offered to
pay $50, 900 for a receipt in full.
and in proportion it is the best
otter that has yet been made by
the railroad company in efecting
q settlement with the various
counties IN the state.
The assessment OF the Santa Fe
for the yeas 1901 Was made under
the new revenue Law, an offspring
Of the famous fusion legislature
aggregation Of that year. II was
made by the Estate board Of as
SCISSORS" created by that la~.
This board vas subsequently de.
clafed illegal by the courts.
Afterwards the state board of
equalization met. by order of the
court, and made . new assess

same as that made by the illegal

board Of equalization vas NOT

FIRED
4 BULLET m WALL OF HIS HOME
BARELY MISSING HIS WIFE
AND CHILD.
An Italian Miner. Working at P. <, l.
Arrested for Beating and
Abusing Her.

Agatha oreheck, came 70 Justice Ri
Keys court Friday evening from her
home at the Pinnickinnick camp, and
swore out warrant against her hus-
band, Anthony orcheck. She claimed
that he had been beating, assaulting and
mistreating her.
The warrant was placed In the hands
Of Constable Herbert Davis, who went
over to their home ut the mining camp
to arrest Anthony, the same evening.
The constable found Anthony in the
house all right, but Anthony rebelled
when it came to going over to the. mag
istrate's court. In trying to make the
arrest Constable Davis had some little
trouble with him. It seems that An
thony pulled a gun ON the constable, but
the latter jerled 1t away from him be-
fore he could snap the trigger. The man
was finally brought over to the city
lookup and incarcerated for the night.
Saturday morning the man was given
a hearing by Squire Riley. In the tes-
timony offered it appears that orcheck
tried several times to beat and abuse
his wife. He got drunk at times and
would fire his pistol in his house, one
time firing a bullet in the wall over the
bed IN which his wife and little child
lay. Anthony was fined $50 and the
costs and was required to furnish q bond
OF 800 TO keep the peace for the period
Of one year.

This action on the part of Rev. Fuller
ton Is the result of reported conversa-
ton Mr.. Hurst engaged in ON the street.

Book of the Royal Blue.

The Book of the Royal Blue for
August is a midsummer numb Der, and
does homage to that lazy month
through several clever contributions
from some of the most prominent
Newspaper Humorists OF the United
States-W d. Nesbit, of Chicago,
Lowell Otus Reese, of San Francisco,
and S. w, Gillian, of Baltimore, the
Finnigin-F Flanagan Man.
Mr.. Reese also has an article in
prose, entitled, "The Wandering
Shade" most clever story on New
York. Mr. e. A. Oliver, OF Yonkers,
the father of the paragraph joke, has
a breezy sketch ia verse entitled 1.-THE
Fragrant Memory" Mr.. Willis Leon
ard Clanahan, OF St. Louis, writes one
on 'Sappho." Mr.. Eyard Jack APP
pleton, OF Cincinnati, tells good
story about "The Accommodating
Man"
The book opens with that most pop
ular August theme for this year, "The
International Cup Races" giving a
full length portrait of Mr.. Upton as
the frontispiece. The article is also
illustrated with photographs of Sham
rock III, Reliance and Constitution.
Another interesting article is that on
"The Making OF Pope, by Mr.. G.
w. Paini, Of Baltimore. The infor-
nation contained in this article is
authentic, from official sources, and is
complete in deUail.
The Book of the Royal Blue, when
it came out last May with contribu-
lions from all of the well known HUI
morists of the United States, reached
the pinnacle OF good magazine litera.

highest standard, but it is one of the
most beautiful little magazines pub
lished. 1t set the pace for railroad
magazine literature in September,
1897, and has been followed by var
ious similar publications. A unique
feature of It's advertising pages is, that
its entire space CT fly leaves used for
that purpose, is devoted entirely to
one subject, l. e., The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad AMI the Royal Blue

has rapidly increased day by day, and

Bar Harbor, Me-, Aug. 14.-Divers
who had been examining the United
States battleship Massachusetts, which
he'd her forward plates crack while
leaving the harbor in fog, found she
was more seriously damaged than was
at first thought to be the case, as the
ship was settling aft as well as for
ward. The ship will be moved into
more shallow water, SO that if any
thing gives way she will not sink deep
enough to cause excessive damages.
The divers Were unable to locate the
crack in the after part of the ship.
