DEMURRER IN PENSION FRAUD
CASE OVERRULED BY UNITED
STATES COURT.
Two Men Charged With Conspiracy
to Defraud the Government
Issued False Affidavits.

PORTLAND. Or. April %. = After
nearly two hours of vehement argu-
ment on both sides, Judge Bellinger
overruled the demurrer to the indlct-
ment against T. A. Wood and Hosea
Wood, charging them with conspiracy
to defraud the government. The at
torney for the defense. John NJ. Gear
in. of the firm of Dolph, Mallory, 81
mon & Gearin. based his argument on
two points which he claimed would
justify sustaining the demurrer
One of these points was what he
characterized the general weakness
and vagueness of the Indictment. and
the other the fact that T. Atwood and
Hosea Wood were charged with form
ing a conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent June 10, 1902, by filing Aft
davits for pensions when the pension
act was not passed by congress until
June 81, 1902.
The attorney said: "IherefOfe, you
cannot accuse or convict a man of a
crime of this character when there
was no law dealing with it until after
the conspiracy was formed. The law
providing for pensions for the Veter-
ans and widows of veterans was not
passed until after this alleged con-
spracy was formed. Therefore, when
it was formed. according to the pros
ecutiOn. there was not an act in exist
ence providing pensions for veterans
OF the Indian wars of Oregon. How
then, were these defendants going to
defraud the government
The first contention of the defense
that the Indictment was not strong

MURDERED MAN UNDER A BARN.
Tragedy Brought to Light by Citizens
When the Officers Refused
to Act.

LAKOTA. y. d, April 22.-The body
of William 2. shannon. who has been
missing since the LIST of December.
was discovered today buried several
feet under the floor of \. J. Posey's
barn.
one Sunday evening last December
Posey, who lived about five miles
south and west of LaWton. in Ramsey
county, and his hired man, w. T
Shannon, started for the formers
farm. after indulging freely in drink.
1t was known that Posey owed. Shan
non about $500 for wages. and that
they had had a dispute over the mat
ter. A few days later Posey left sud-
denly for Bemidji to work in the
woods. Before going he said that he
had settled with Shannon and that
the latter had gone to Canada.
Officers Would Do Nothing.
There was a strong suspicion that
Shannon had not left voluntarily, but
that he had met with foul play. but
nothing came of it. although the
county officials were asked to investi-
gate. Arnold Diestman, a farmer of
the same vicinity, met Posey driving
his team toward home and saw a
like a man rolled up. When officers

Attorney Hall commenced his state

stated that he was satisfied the indict-

said he would listen to argument on

defendants knew the act providing
pensions for the veterans of the In

STATE SUPREME COURT RULES
ON THE STATUTE TAXING
ITINERANT MERCHANTS.
Major Portion of the Law Is Sustain
ed-They Must Pay Tax on
Stock.

OLYMPIA, April 22.-In deciding an
action presented for the purpose of
testing the validity of the law provid-
ing for the taxation of the stocks of
itinerant merchants, the supreme
court has handed down an opinion de
claring unconstitutional the proviso
in the act relating to rebates on the
second years assessment. but uphold
ing the major portion of the law.
The decision squarely upholds the
power of the proper authorities in this
state to levy and collect taxes upon
the property of merchants who bring
stocks of merchandise into this state
without the intention of remaining.
provides that upon the second assess
ment of the property the county as
SCISSOR shall make a propOrtionate re-
ductiOn for the number of days OF the
previous assessment year that the
merchant was not in such county.
AS the section is still complete after
the elimination of the objectionable
proviso, the assessment. the levy and
| collection of the tax in question is
| fully authorized.
The action was instituted in the SUI
perior court of Spokane county by y.
Z, Nathan, appellant. and plaintiff be-
| low. against Spokane county. Nathan
sought to enioin the collection of $50
| taxes levied for the year 1901 against
| an $4,000 stock of goods brought into
Spokane county from Montana No
venber 10. 1901. The lower court sus-
! tanned a general demurrer to the com
, plant and as Nathan elected to stand
| on his complaint the action was dis
missed.
The constitutionality of the section
| (Sec. l. Session Laws 90, page 295).
was attacked on the following
| grounds:
The enactment provides different
| mode and manner of the assessment
| levied against the property of appel
| liant than is provided for other persons
and property similarly situated.
