In one case before the county
court in reference to the re-assess-
ment there was a protest against
$40 an acre on coal, on the grounds
that at Gypsy coal was assessed to
the coal company at $40 an acre.
The books showed that $40 was the
assessment on surface there and that
the coal was assessed at $40 an acre.
The petition was then quickly with
drawn, but not until 1-2 acres had
been deducted as belonging to the
railroad, which would not have been
on the books against the farmer, if
he had told the assessor at the time
the assessment was made that it be-
.longed to the railroad company.

Now would be a good time for a
new development company to or
ganize at Shinnston, according to
the contention of the News to buy a
farm that offers what is said to be
almost perfect site for a city. The
company could get the land
at less than $4,000 an acre
and make all sorts of money
on it. Maybe a Buckhannon man
or two, where they are said to be 4
little sleepy, will take hold and make
fortune out of it, while some others
are standing around grumbling at
the terribly high |Factual value" of
the city site.

A few of those who are engaging
the time of the county court in the
re-assessment of lands could have
spared the court the labor and the
time, if they had but been willing to
give the information sought by the
tax commissioners, but as they would
not and the property was there the
commissioners concluded they would
have to give that information some
time and sure enough they are-to
the county court.

The Fleming farm at Shinnston
is pronounced by some who know it
is worth not much more than half as
much as the Monroe farm there
which some have the ignorance to
say ought not to be assessed any
higher figure than the Fleming
form. The fact is, if they are assess
ed out of proportion, it is that the
Fleming farm is assessed too high
as compared with the other.

WESLEY
NOT 4 GUNNER

With the almost universal custom
of carrying concealed weapons es-
pecially the pistol, it is worthy OF
note that our own ex-governor
George Wesley Atkinson can proud
" boast of having never cucumber
ed his person by any such practice.
1t will be remembered that he
served a number of years as United
States Marshal for West Virginia
and that too at time when the dis
charge of the duties of the position
meant danger on every hand on ac-
count of the hundreds of moonshln-
ers and outlaws who infested the
mountain businesses of the state ana
from the arrest of whom Mr.. At
kinson, in person never hesTtated for
a moment when duty demanded It.
one can scarcely believe that he could
have been persuaded to go unarmed
upon the hundreds of hazardous mis-
sions which his duties required.
He had to deal with desperate
mon. men in whose hands ones life
would be regarded as naught should
what they termed their liberties be
disturbed, and if it requires brave
men armed to the teeth of combat
such characters and effect their cap
tivity how much drawer must be the
men who would dare to attempt their
arrest unarmed-
Yet Governor Atkinson probably
has to his credit the arrest of as
many desperate men, in person, as
any man who ever filled the Office OF
u. s. Marshal in the state, all of
which he accomplished through his
splendid gifts of diplomacy.
This he did, however, not without
numerous encounters and hair
breadth escapes from tragic death
At one time he encountered gang
of moonshiners at close quarters, one
of whom assaulted him with huge
dagger. which he attempted to thrust
to his heart. In the Governors in
side pocket was bunch of letters
from his wife. including her photo.
The dagger rent his clothing and
passed through the bundle of let
ters and photo, but in so doing Its
force was so spent that only com
parativelv slight wound was inflicted
directly over his heart.
Governor Atkinson never achiev.
ed much distinction as a political
kicker and had he chosen to indulge
in that method of passing the time
it would have been woe to the Re.
publican party long ago, had he
possessed the gifts in that avocation
that he seems to have had in the real
use of his nhvsical pedal extremities
At one time during one of his
moonshine raids he encountered a
vicious bull dog, and it was on this
he felt the need of a gun as much as
at any time in his life. But he had
none when the desperate canine as
saulted him and squaring himself
for what one advantage which might
came to dealt him kick which
landed under his paws with such
force as to completely reverse his
course and sent him to the ground
trembling, and in an instant there
was dead dog and a totally unin
iured United States Marshal.

That Monroe petition may be
"scathing" but that does not con
vince the public that a farm that is
valuable for town lots is not worth
any more than a farm that can not
very we'll be plowed, much less used
for town lots, and would hardly be
safe for dug-outs. Something moro
tangible than that will have to be
advanced before an enlightened pub
lie takes any stock in such argu-
ment.

Serious Experience of a Pioneer


 An old man named Nathaniel Lane,
 who has d homestead adjoining C.,m- eron Lake about three miles west of Calexico, has had a very disastrous ex- perience ilI staying with his claim, and one which may cost him his life, and will, at best, cost hin leg. His claim lays partly in Cameron Lake and with the great rise in New river the lake overhowed and flooded his house. At this junctnre his neighbors tried to get him to leave his pace and go todry lands. in fact, they vent with boats to take him out To this the old man demurred, insisting that lie would come out when he got ready and was well able to take care of himself. The rapid rise of the water and the consequent necessity of looking after their own affairs naturally engrossAd the attention of the people who had called on Mir. Lane and it was eight days before he was thought of again. Then an expeti tion was quickly organized and went to his aid.
 The water had raised several feet in the meantime and they found Mr Lane in terrible condition. The rise of the water had made it necessary to raise his bed, which he had done by flashing it to the top of the house The rising waters had drowned his horse, and the exposure to which he was subjected brought on ali attack of rheumatism. The food drove the snakes and insects to seek shelter in the house and Mir. Lane had terrible experience in keep ing them off his bed He had been three days without food and had given mp to die when his rescuers came to his aid. He was taken to CaleXico and a collection taken up to pay his way to San Diego to the county hospital. Dr. Griffith gave him such medical aid as he could and on last Saturday he went out on his way to the hospital. His condition is serious indeed He is a man eighty years of age and the terrible experience through which he has passed has been sufficient to overcome the stur'lest. From some cause, either rheumatism or else the bite of venom ous insect or snake, Mr. Lanes left foot and leg to his knee was badly swollen and blood poisoned, so that it will be il possible to save his life with out amputating it. This he stoutly refuses to permit, declaring that he would rather die than only have one leg
 He arrived at Los Angeles Saturday too late to catch the train for San Di- ego so was cared for there until Sunday when. h9 proceeded on his. journey This experience shows that 6ne needs to use the ordinary precautions and take rdilary care of themselves in this country as well as anywhere else And above everything else, don't try to "play horse' with the food waters. W hen they intimate that it is time to move 1t is better to take it for granted and get ont Mir. Lane could have saved himself all this suffering, and prnba blv loss of his life had he been willing to trust his neiyhbors and take ordinary care of himself.
