his roll. and, the court not having
delivered itself of an opinion. in
serted the item once more this time
adding $4,000 for natural increase in
the value of the franchise during the
interim Of time since 1903.
This same item this year has been
stricken by the board of equalization,
that body taking no cognizance of the
matter before the court Had they
left the item on the rolls and the
court said that ii was legally there,
the tax could have been collected and
the revenues of the county increased
by so much more. With the item
stricken out, in case the court de-
cides that the franchise is taxable,
can the assessment be legally entered
at this time for the current year?
Some lawyers hold that the arbitrary
action of the equali2ers has SO placed
the county that in case the courts
hold that the property is assessable
the tax for this year can not be col
lected, and the county will be minus
this much of its rightfui revenue for
1905 because of the stand taken by
the board of equalization in antago-
nism to the advice of its legally CON
situated advisor.

The operation for the removal of

men of Alice Durkee, shot by Harry
Stanley two days ago, was performed
at noon today. DR.. George A. Gray,
who performed the operation, stated
this afternoon that he did not enter
tain much hope for the girls recov-
cry. The bullet was found in the
abdomenal cavity. After striking the
right limb of the girl it ranged up
ward, perforating her in.estines five
times before stopping.
The operation was a difficult one
and consumed over an hour. DR.. Gray,
when discussing the matter this
afternoon, said: II doubt very much
if the girl will recover. The strain
on her system has been severe and
it is doubtful if her vitality will be
able to withstand the shock. l found
the bullet in the abdomenal cavity
as / expected. 1t passed through her

muddled condition of mind has re-
suited from half-statements and mat
ters published in part from the pro-
ceedings of the late board of equali-

1t is known that after the attorney
for Mr.. Cowles had advanced the plea
that the franchise should not be as
sessed because no other similar fran
chise was assessed, County Commits
sioner Dean moved to strike the mat

carried. What puzzles many is how
tho commissioners reconcile their de-
cision In that transaction with the
