Fixed by State Board
At the meeting of the county audit

board of equalization, a schedule of
valuations was adopted as basis for
this years assessment But the asses.

held in Vermillion, voted to adopt a
new schedule. In most cases they
made reduction in the equalized val

ed on lands and minimu moi Sc; the
state board recommended $3.50. AS
sessment values on horses, cattle,
hogs. sheep, mules and asses, house
mold goods. etc, were reduced mate
vially.
The general belief here is that the
taxpayers will gain nothing by dev!at-

turns the assessors make, the state

In one way the action Of the asses

make IN order to equaliZe taxes.

duced through the disqualification of
Sheriff B. Williams from Farther CON

Earth county official was disqualified
through the filing of an affidavit by
Attorney SomerviIe. VINO represented
the defense. Attorney Somerville. in
his affidavit. charges that the sheriff
is prejudiced and partial in the selec-
ton of jurors.
Causes Bitter Feeling.
The affair evidently has caused hit
ter feeling on the part of the friends
of the sheriff. but Williams himself is
reticent regarding the act, IN. 1t is a
common rumor that the attorneys for
the defense have attempted to have
tested the sheriff's convictions relat-
ing to the guilt or innocence of DR..
Koch.
Wednc sday night. shortly after the
adjournment of court and before the

friend of DR.. Koch presented TO the
sheriff list of fifty residents of the
county, and expressed the desire that
at least few of the persons named in
the list appear in court the following
morning.

morning, according to the account,

the sheriff was prejudiced or biased

Sheriff Williams, in speaking of the
incident only would say that he has
performed his duties to the best of his
ability, and that if anything existed
which would lead the defendants to
believe he was acting against their in
tereSts, he was glad to be In a position
TO relieve them from any apprehen-
sion on that score. The attorneys for
the defense stated positively that in
their opinion the sherffs actions led
them to believe, he was prejudiced.
