One of the letters written by Nan Pat
terson 10 Young shows that the actress
was much. distressed at the prospect
OF separating from the man, Of whom
she seems to have been as fond as he
was OF her.
Other letters of the same tenor are
now In the hands OF Assistant District
Attorney Caravan. and will prove TO be
Of Importance when the woman has her
examination.
Nan Patterson was to have sailed
for Europe early last month Passage
for her was engaged and paid for by
Young. but at the last moment she re-
fused to go unless he would go with
her.
Had Arranged Passage.
1t has become known that when she
learned that Young, with his wife, in
tended sailing for Europe last Saturday,
Nan Patterson prepared to follow
them. 1t is said that she even went so
far as TO arrange for passage on one of
the steamers sailing from New York to-
day.
In various ways this woman demon
strated that she was as much infatuat-
ed with Young as ne was with her In
her letter to him she said that she
would not let him leave her. Again she
spoke of being desperate enough for any
act when she thought of their being
separated. In that same letter reference

Her letters TO Young were generally
written with lead pencil. Mrs. Pat
terson writes a round, legible hand. She
invariably addressed Young as Dear

love for him.
Weapon Is Traced.
Mr.. Caravan refuses to say how much
or how exact is the information OBJ
tanned relating to the revolver. though
he admitted that he is satisfied with
the progress made.
Joseph Gales, a member of the firm OF
ShOvering. DAILY & Gales, said TO a re-

The Railroad Tax.

The Dawson oampaigners are
still protesting that the next tax
laws will increase the amount of
taxes to be paid by the railroads.
How is it to be done? The assess
ment will be made, as heretofore,
by Board of Public Works, and
the history of Republican Boards
of Public Works in this state is
not encouraging to the man who
would like to see the railroads pay
their just proportion of state taxa
ton.
During the last four years OF
Democratic administration in West
Virginia, at time when. accord.
ing to the Republican newspapers,
the state and the nation was going
to wreck, when every industry was
suspended, the Democratic Board
of Public Works increased the as
sessment of the railroads of the
state nearly four million dollars,
During four years of Republican
administration when the state has
been growing and developing as
never before, when the railroads
were more prosperous than ever
before, when their gross and net
income was greater than ever be-
fore, when new lines were constant
ly being constructed, the total
valuation of the railroads of the
state actually. decreased some
twenty five thousand dollars.
Yet they tell You that the Re-
publican rarty stands for an in
creased tax upon the railroads and
corporations.
Examine the personality of the
candidates for positions upon the
Board of Public Works on the Re-
publican ticket. Ascertain if they
are not more favorable to the cor
porations than the people, trace
their records back, and then the
honest voter will see that. to secure
an equitable assessment of the rail.

Are you aware of the fact. voters

bill that you will have to tell the
assessor how much you owe other
peopleP You must tell him the
amount You owe and TO whom you
are indebted. This will give any
who dislike for you to go to the
assessors books and find out how
much you owe your neighbors and
then go around over town and dis.
cuss it from the store boxes. Oh,
the new tax BILLS a dandy when you
acquaint yourself with it.

ter State Commerce Commission
just issued shows that during last
