 An officer was telephOned for, ana it was reported down town that mur- der had been committed, but when Marshal Stambaugh arrived he ascer- tained that one of the residents Of that section of the city had arrived home a triae earlier than expected and had interrupted a supposed rehearsal of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet'-Romeo having taken of his shoes apparently to climb the balcony The husband did the usual thing in the case and took trio of shots al the

FLEETWOOD GOES INTO DETAIL
 SHOWS ILLEGALITY OF TERRITORIAL
 BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MINE ACTION District Attorney Ci YaVapafs Opinion VeIy fGFGnt from

law creating the Territorial Boar1 Of Equalization was taken, Mir. Ellinwooi concluded as follows:
 Tt is undoubtedly the duty Of the board of supervisors of a county to at all times be certain of the legality of its action, if the same is within the realm of possibility; and. likewise, the taxpayer is entitled to know that the tax demanded is legal before he parts with his money. It Is my opinion that
 you extend the tax as ordered by the Territorial Board of Equalization you will involve the county in pro tracted litigation with nearly every ir diyidual owner of patented mines in the county and thus suspend the collec- ton of taxes for an indefinite period on this class of property Nor do think this burden to litigate should be put upon the taxpayer until the le- gaiity of the act is established. It is possible to secure an adjudication of this question in advance of your ex- tending the tax upon the roll by your refusal to recognize as legal the ac- ton of the Territorial Board of Equal ization, whereupon l assume that the attorney-general will cause to be in stituted a suit in mandamus to compel the extension. when the matter may be speedily settled as a clear-cut legal proposition in one suit, and this ac- lcomplished without any great expense and no expense to the taxpayers.
 Further on this subject: The stat ute provides that all taxable property must be assessed at its full cash value
 The term cash value wherever used | in the statute means the amount al
 w.ich the property would be taken in payment of a just debt from a solvent ldebtor. The statute further provides that the board of supervisors shaI lhave the power to determine whether the assessed value of any Irqperty !; too smaI- or too large and # may change and correct any valuation b3 adding thereto or by tl-ng -heretrom and the decision Of the bolrj as {, whether the asseszef value ct an Iproperty shall be increased is final. m less an appeal is taken as provide, by statute.
 Tt is probably needless for me t' lsay that this power s5L duty sh0u!'
 be exercised by the board honestly an fearlessly and free from any undu
 influence. through tie sham. rretals'
 or crocodile tears Of any per-ol, Ern
 or corporation If you find that an,
 property, regardless of kind or class
 is assessed too low and the proper nc
 tice has been given, it is your duty t
 raise the same, not because the TeTri

Julius WelgehauSen Wants Corner ktWspapGfRuSineSS

Douglas, Arlz., Aug. 31.-(Speeial9 -
 Julius Welgehausen has commenced two suits for S50O0 each, one against the International-American and one against the Daly Dispatch claiming that his reputation and that of his family was damaged to that extent by articles published in this paper and the Dispatch.
 Mr. Welgehausen evidently imagines that this paper and the Dispatch are millionaires in disguise and are ac- customed to carry small sums like s50O0 in their inside vest pockets, or else he wants to get Q corner on the newspaper business in Douglas. But what does a cipher more or less matter anyhow?
 Maybe he thinks Horace Greeley Dorr is- getting too much easy money out of the franchise ordinances and wants some of it.
 The article in the International American, which MT. Welgehauser complains of, as set up in his com plaint, is as follows:

FRIENDS ARE WORRIED
 OYER SILENCE OF GRINDELL
NOTHING HAS BEEN HEARD FROM PRINCIPAL OF DOUGLAS
 SCHOOL.
Left Douglas June 1st for Trip to Tiburon Island, Since Which Time Nothing Has Been Heard From Him School Begins September 11th-

Nothing has been heard from Tom GrindeIl. principal of the public schools in Douglas, and there is now a grow ing feeling of uneasiness about hlg safety. though it is hoped that he will ye-. make his appearance and that no harm has befallen him.
 MT. Grindell left Douglas about June 1st for the purpose of making an ex- ploration trip to Tiburon island, near the Mexican coast and due west ot Hernosillo. He was accompanied by five men from Bisbee and represent ative of the government geological de- partment. MT Grindell delivered an address at Bisbee on Memorial day, May 3Otb, and he and his party started the next day for Nogales. where they secured their outfit required for the trip-arms. ammunition, provisions etc. Since they left Nogales nothing definite has been learned concerning the party, though it was given out that they would go via Guaymas to the island to be explored.
 EIr. Grindell was on the island a year ago, and became interested in the study of the formation of the coun- try and it's inhabitants. Last spring he began the organization of his eX- ploration party and had all things Tn readiness when his school term ex- pired during the last days of May Before leaving Douglas he was re-en- eaged for another term. and left here with the understanding with the board of trustees that he would return to Douglas not later than August 18th.
 H. s. Kenyon, clerk of the school hoard. stated that he felt uneasy as to the welfare of MT. Grindell, but hoped that no harm had befsllen him Asked if the school board had yet con sidered what would be done in case Mir. Grindell did not arrive before the time for the beginning of school, one week from next Monday, MT. Kenyon said nothing yet had been done in that line. as all have been hoping to heal from MT Grindell.
 A number of applications are on hlt for the principalship of the school, and though MT. Grindeil is not heard from there will be no delay in opening the school on Monday, September 11th, a: heretofore announced The new schoo buildings are now practically com pleted and most of the furniture Ii here ready to be put in place Int new blackboards, which were ordered from Vermont, have not yet arrived but they are daily ex0ected.

Hon. E. E. Ellinwood gave a lengthy opinion to the board of supervisors of Yavapai county. when called upon to advise the board as to whether the action of the Territorial Board of Equalization in raising the assessed valuation of the patented mines of the Territory was legal or illegal.
 Mir. Eninwood filed an opinion GOV ering fourteen typewriter pages, go- ing at great length into the legal ques' tion under discussion.
 Following are some extracts taken from the opinion given by Mir Blln- wood to the Yayapai board of super visOrs:
 ..Replying to your request for my opinion as to whether the Territorlai Board of Equalization has authority under the statutes to order that a raise be made in the valuation of pat ented mines in the County of IaYapal and also to order that the value oi range. work and other horses be m creased: and whether said board can compel a compliance with such orders I think I have to state that have examined very carefully the statutes and authorities bearing upon the queS tion and am of the opinion that tho Territorial Board of Equalization has clearly exceeded it's authority and un dertaken to perform acts which ar' wholly without it's jurisdiction. Ina the board cannot compel compliance with orders which it appears afhrma lively from it's own proceedings arr beyond its authority and therefor' void.
 "The Territorial Board of Equaliza tion may, for the purpose of adjustini and equalizing, increase the asgregat valuation of one county and decress that of another, but it has no powe to increase the aggregate valuation O property above the valuations returnet by the boards of supervisors of the se' eral counties.
 II.
 "Tbe Territorial Board of Equaliza tion in equaliZing and adjusting proI erty valuations between the severa counties has no power to increase 0 diminish the valuation of certain kinds classes or grades of property withi any county. The Territorial boar must deal with the respective Falua tions as returned by the counties entireties by making such changes Il each county valuation as whole will relatively equaliZe the entire proI erty values in the different counties.

IRATE HUSBAND

interrupts an Evening Call at Hi'
 Home and Fires Three Shots.

The upper end of Thirteenth street | was the scene Saturday evening of a brilliant sprinting spurt, which, ac- cording to residents along the way, broke all previous records hereabouts for fast going and a total disregard for the manner of the same.
 The starter in this single-handed dash was an irate husband. Julius Welgehausen, who resides at the u2- per end of Thirteenth street The sprinter has not yet been identified, and the only person who could do so satisfactorily is Mrs. Welgehausea. and she has not seen it to diyulge her callers name.
 About s o'clock Saturday evening NIT.

 A brigade of peace officers from town were soon on the scene, and Mrs. ! Welgehausen gave out the official lstatement that the man had attempted
 to gain admittance to the house and
 that Mir Welgehausen had been com lpelled to shoot at him. r is alleged lthat the man" had already gained ad-
 mittance and the lady Of the house did mot appear to be at all frightened until the husband appeared on the scene and broke up the little tea party that
 was being held in the twilight.
 The officers have made no attempt Ito trace the burglar and evidently put no credence in the story to that effect
 The husband was prevented from continuing his fusillade by his wife lwho succeeded in getting him inside the house before he had done any dam lage. Explanations came thick and fas' land neighbors in that locality state
