ASSESSMENTS DISCUSSED
o. p, JAYcox AND ASSESSOR BER-
RYMAN ENGAGE IN A PRO-
LoNGED DISCUSSION.
City Board Of Equalization Had Siren
uous Time Last Night-Many
Increases Proposed.

The city council last night devoted
most of it's session to the consideration
of tax matters and during the evening
City Assessor Bergman and Q. +. Jay
cox of the Chicago store, INDUCED I'D
quite a controversy as to the manner
of assessing the stock carried by Mr.
Jaycox and his associates. Mr.. JaycoS
had asked for a reduction from $16,OOt
to $1,000, and limited that the assessor
had raised the valuation for the rea-
son that he and Mr.. Bergman had diff
fered politically. Mr.. Bergman con-
tended that when he called at the store
to list the property Mr.. Jaycox refused
to furnish him with his inventory and
also refused to sign the blank that
Bergman had filled out. Mr.. Berry
man then made an arbitrary assess
ment placing the value of the stock at
$4,000.
Prior to the converting of the council
Mr.. Jaycox gave figures to the mem
bers of the council. They showed that
in 1904 the stock totaled s29,254.S4
while this year it was $29,669.S5.
The council after listening to the
arguments of the assessor ana Mr.
Jaycox placed the valuation at s13 O0O
Mr.. Jaycox also asked for reduc-
ton on his real estate from $4,000 to
$4,000 Finally action on the request
was left until the next meeting.
Other Tax Matters.
L. Smiths valuation was reduced In
the sum of $500 and a correction was
made in the assessment of the First
National bank. it having been shown
that an error mad been made.
Herbert Jones was granted reduc-
ton in the valuation of his property In
the sum of $500.
The petitions Of Jacob Betz and Anna
B. Elliott for reductions were denied
large number of persons will be
notified by the city clerk that the
council will increase their valuations
on personal property. The finance
committee submitted a long list OF
names which they recommended be
given notice to appear before the board
of equalization and show cause if there
be any reasons why the valuations
should not be raised.

MAN KILLED At WFE's GRAVE.
Murderer Leaps Upon Him As He
Bears Floral Tribute.

LA CROSSE, Wis, July 22.-Fran-
els Jevulie, farmer of Holman, near
here, was murdered on his wifes
grave in the local Catholic cemetery
last night. His wife died few weeks
ago, and every Sunday he has been in
the habit of going to the grave to dec
crate it with flowers. Yesterday he
did not go to the grave as early as
usual. 1t was about dark when he
went.
According to his antemortem state
ment, as he approached the grave a
man, masked with handkerchief
shot out from behind a tree and dealt
MIN stunning blow on the head. He
became unconscious and it was not
until this morning that he revived suf-
ficiently to tell the doctor at the emer-
gency hospital of the attack. Until
then it was supposed that he had
adopted some inexplicable manner of
was dubbed almost to death. His
skull was fractured, but he revived for
few minutes, long enough to tell of
the attack, then expired.
His throat was cut, but the juglar
vein was not severed. No knife was
found nearby which the would-be muir
derer could have used. The police
say they have no clue as to the iden-
tity of the murderer and nothing
which would seem to provide a motive.

Returning to Omaha.

A gasoline motor car, Union Pacific
No. 1, was an object of interest at the
o. R. & N. yards today. The car.
which is the same one which passed
through here going west some time ago,
is now being taken back to Omaha, ap-
parently in disgust. 1t is in charge Of
a crew of several men, and was held
here for several hours during the mid
die of the day. In size the motor is
about half as long as a passenger coach
and is fitted with a cowcatcher and
headlight in 'front.' However, the front
end. is pointed, making the car some
what resemble the prov of a battle
ship While a very formidable look
ing affair, it is evidently not of mucn
force, as a member of the crew said it
could hardly keep itself going, without
any car attached.-East Oregonian.
