 He states that it is a good weeks work. ! Considerable dissat atisfactio has been 1 noticed here in regard to the alssess7d valuations of last year, and the work
 of the same assessor for this year will be watched with interest. Last year the valuations were in several cases re- garded as excessively high, and the
 county was threatened with lawsuits
 for a time on that account. The board
 of supervisors. however in several in-
 stances corrected the figures to the
 temporary satisfaction of the property owners, asserting that the cause of the
 excessive figures was clerical errors |" Too much curiosity is said to be th' cause of the hold-up of Herbert Bower

HELD FOR FELONY.

The postponed trial of Rafael Valen- suela took place yesterday morning ana by it the fact that Rafael is a bad hombre was again impressed upon the mind of the justice. Felony was the charge and the trial brought out suffi- cient evidence of his guilt to convince Justice Nelson that something had to be done. He was accordingly bound over to the grand jury with a $500 bond. This was equal, so far as his chances of getting it were concerned, to a thousand dollar one and he now has time to repent at leisure in jail.
