The Barker Trial.

District court sits mex Monday, and
in all probability the trial of Frank
Barker for the murder Of his bi other
and sister. n.law, Daniel and Alice
Barker, will be the first case called.
There is little probability Of testi.
mOny in the case being taken before
Wednesday, as it is thought the secur.
ing Of a jury and other preliminary
work will occupy at least two days
The wide publicity given the case and
the almost universal belief in the gull,
of the accused will make it difficult to
secure a Jury.
Frank Barker had, during The sum.
mer OF 1909, worked on his brothers
place a mile west of Inavale, and had q
financial interest in the stock on the
place. Frank was counting a young
lady living near %Inavale, and it was
known that he was anxious to have q
home of his own to which he could
take his prospective bride.
Early in the week beginning February
| neigh bors noticed that the home OF
Dan b ,rker was deserted except for
the presence of Frank Barker, who
was occasionally accompanied By his
younger brother, Guy.
Inquiries were instituted as to the
whereabouts Of Dan Barker and his
wife, and the story told bv Frau
Barker aroused suspicion aud led u
his arrest in Red Cloud on Thursday,
February I, charged with having
murdered his brother and sister.in-law
and disposed of their bodies.
The story told by Frank Barker was,
substantially, that Dan and his wife
had for a long time been making ar
rangemenents to 60 to Colorado to live
Frank claimed that on Monday, Feb
ruary /, he had paid Dan 81 900 for his
interest in the stock and household
goods, and that Dan and his wife had
come TO Red Cloud that same day tc
take the train for Denver, to make
that place their future home.

More About the Assessment.

Some officious person has been re.
porting to the state board of assessors
that deputy assessors in this county
are failing to list grain, etc. County
Assessor Turner denies this, and has
issued the following address:
To the Deputy Assessors and Tax
payers Of Webster County:
The law provides that all property
must be valued at its actual value;
that local assessors shall actually view
the property listed and assessed by
them. But the law must not be con.
strued to mean that the assessor must
waste his time in hunting up and view
ing property that is away from the
home place at any unreasonable dis
lance. The owners of such property
will find, by careful reading of the
obligations IN the personal property
schedule, that they make oath that
they have given a true description of
all such property and that they have
not misrepresented anything to the
assessor.
Local assessors should take under
consideration all property that has
been sold and the prices paid in their
locality of late, and be goverend by
the general trend OF the prices paid:
then consider the quality of the pro-
perty you are assessing and that which
has been sold, the distance from mar
ket, etc For instance, hay in a city
is worth $3.50 per ton; it is generally
considered to be worth 81 per ton for
delivering hay three or four miles dis
tant from the market 1t would not
be right to assess hay on the farm at
the same price as hay on the market.
You will find damaged property of
all kinds; value accordingly. The true
actual value is what the law requires;
it is what | want the local assessors to
