Tenn, near Fulton, is reported to have
blown up from the combustion of lime
and the body and casket thrown some
distance out of the grave.
DR.. E. l.. DeMeyer. whose death was
mentioned several days ago in the
Messenger. was brought from Pierce,
Tenn, and buried about TWO miles
from Fulton. The remains were ac-
companied by two negro immunef.
who buried the body about midnight
on account of the death being caused
by smallpox none but the two negroes
were allowed to accompany the re-
mains and this led much TO the adj
ness of the affair
Three barrels Of unslacked lime
were placed in the grave. The rains
which have fallen 80 heavily this
week caused the lime TO come in con
tact with the water causing steam
end gas to form in such quantitie- that
the 4 n which covered the grave was
unable to withstand The pres are and
gave way TO the chemical explosion.

Bridge Company and c. & {. RaH'
road Refuse to Pay
Thebes Taxes.

The Southern Illinois and Missouri
Bridge company has refused to pay
the Village of Thebes Incorporation
tax. amounting to s1,4SO. They have
paid all other taxes, amounting to
s4.t4l. but refuse to pay the ThebeS
taxes. why payment of the village tax
is refused cannot be learned, and will
probably not be known until June,
when the heriff make. a demand for
the money. What legal complications
may arise cannot be foretold.
The total tax LEVIED in this county
on the bridge is s6,62l OF this
amount S2.293.50 is district, CThebesl
school tax, s1,237.50 is county tax.
1925 state tax, sass is district road
tax $500 is county registered bond in
teret tax. and s1,4Se is Thebes cor
poraton tax.
The Illinois half Of the bridge was
assessed by Assessor Davis last spring
at s1.25O.OO0. This asses ment va9
objected to by the bridge company
whose lawyers appeared before the
county commissioners and induced
them 10 lower the assessment to $685.
OO0-nearly one-half. II Is now
claimed that the county commission
ers had adjourned a. board OF re-
view before the adjustment OF the
bridge valuation was considered, and
that their acton in lowering the as
sessment was Illegal and without
Jurisdiction.
The bridge company was not salts
fed with The concessions Of over hail
r million valuation on their property,
and asked that the Thebes. corporation
tax be reduced from $685.. 600 to $780,
00j-loss than one half Of the already
iiliputian assessment. This was finally
agreed to by the Thebes board OF
trustees. which reduced the tax from
s453j on the FIST assessment to $l4S0
