Attempted Hold-Up

An attempt was made on Sunday
night last to hold up and rob one of
the many harvest hands now being
paid off from ranches in this vicini-
ty. The victim "a young German,
stranger here) stated that he was
coming to town that evening about
$50, and when near the |. O. O. L.
cemetery was met by a tall man
the lower portion of whose face ap-
peared to be masked with hand
chief. The latter stopped suddenly
as he was passing the German and
thrusting a revolver at him called
for hands up" The German, as
he told it, was SO taken by surprise
that he threw out both hands in
stantly, and his left hand struck the
gun from the highwayman's grasp.
1t fell to the roadway, and as the
fellow stopped to recover it, "I gif
him a goot swift kick nit de side of
his het, said the German, "and l
runs for town like de teffle, you bet
you-yes. The harvester had 500
in his pocket. 1t is probable that
some hobo hereabouts had pretty
sore head the next morning, for the
German wore No. II shoes and they
were proportionately heavy.

MORE BUTTERIME TROUBLE.
Purchaser Of NlbIo Company Stock Unable
10 Take Possession Of Goods.

The butterine and other pcrishabls
property Of the Niblo company was sold
at auction Monday noon by United States
Deputy Marshal Richmond j. Stone to
George r. Iamson. The latter has made
payment TO the deputy marshal but in
transferring the property tSoubie has
arisen. The question now pending decs-
ion concerns the rebate allowed upon the
tax on export butterine. The property
remains In the custody OF the United
States marshal until the matter shall bs
settled and necessary stamps afixed
There Is no internal revenue tax on
export butterine. or. properly speaking.
the tax Is charged and when proof Is
filed that the goods have been landed
In foreign port the full amount OF the
tax is rebated. Accordingly the manufac-
turer files bond. against which the ex-
port goods are charged at the time Of
shipment Then when the returns ara
fled, showing the receipt OF the goods by
the foreign consignee. the entry Is can
celled. The manufacturers bond keeps
the goods covered at all times and guar-
antees the payment Of the tax In cass
OF any failure Of an export shipment IA
reach its destination. Mr.. Lamson was
ready to pay the tax and secure the nee
essary stamps. II is understood, but the
question OF rebate after the export goods
were received abroad caused a compiica-
ton. The export butterine In the LOT
amounted to about $4,000 pounds, on
which the internal revenue tax is 10 cents
a pound for the colored product.
Mr.. Lamson Is not legally a manufac-
turer and cannot file a manufa cturer's
bond Therefore the butterine cannot be-
shipped under the usual protection. and
the question of rebate requires special
solution.
The commissioner Of internal revenue
will probably be called upon to decide
the matter.
