 Sheriff Romen Ina. returned from Ire mentina in possession of facts that make 1t appear certain that the burning of the home of Benito Sanchez in that village with two women and child was merely an attempt to conceal Q most heinous crime There is the strongest evidence that the two women, Mrs. Sanchez and a young school teacher. were crminally as- saulted, murdered and the house burned to conceal the crime.
 Two men who were rooming at the house were drunk during the afternoon. The b/ adobe house was on fire for more than an hour before the floor of the soc ond story where the women and the chi- dren sleep, fell. The forms of the women were found in the burned buildings, still lying on the he'd. strong evidences of the crime being numerous

William H. Crane.

The sale of seats for William II. Cranes engagement in "The American Lord" at the Jefferson theatre Friday night be- gins this morning. Interest has been awakened in the play owing to the good reports which have preceded it and to the fact that it is the style of comedy in which Mir Crane is seen at his best. If report is correct, the play is the most satisfying that MT. Crane has had in years. The play is essentially American in spirit even though some of it's scenes and characters are English.

Cumming Offers Objection.

When the decree was about to be signed Maj. Joseph B. Cumming, attorney for the Georgia railroad. objected to includ- ing the year 1905 on the ground that the Georgia Railroad and Banking com pany had sold it's 15,00O shares of stock in the Western of Alabama, prior to time for making returns for that year, and could not be held liable for taxes,
 It IS supposed that it was sold to the lessees of the Georgia road and the Louis vile and Nashville. and the Atlantic Coast Line. These are nonresident cor porations and will not have to pay taxes on stock.

GEORGIA WINS IH
 RAILROAD CASES Road Liable for Taxes on Shares
 of Stock CASE WILL BE APPEALED Attorney for Company Objects to Hav- ing 1905 Assessments Included on the Ground That Shares
 Have Been Sold.
CASE WILL BE APPEALED

Atlanta. January S0--(Special) 1.-The trial of the Georgia railroad and the Central of Georgia tax cases on their merits was concluded before Judge John T. Pendle- ton in the superior court today by the rendering of a decree in favor of the state in both cases, in accordance with the recent decision of the supreme court upon the points involved.
 The trial of these cases on their merits began yesterday. the states counsel hav- ing consented to an early hearing in order that the railroads might have no delay in getting their appeal to the supreme court of the United States which they will do just as soon as the supreme court passes on and sustains the deerees grant ed today by Judge Pendleton.
 The points of contention now raised by the railroads are that the state is seeking to take their property without due process of law, in that they were not given the right to arbitrate the assessments placed on the Western of Alabama stock byt the comptroller gen. eral; and also that they are being de- nied the equal protection of the laws, which is guaranteed under the Fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, in that they have been singled out to be taxed on this class of property.
 Claim Assessments Are Excessive.
 The principal feature of the trial before Judge Pendleton today was the effort on the part of the railroads to show that the assessments of this Western of Ala bama stock sought to be taxed, placed upon it by Comptroller General Wright was excessive. It was sought to show that the general practice In Georgia is to accept returns of property for taxation at two-thirds value.
 Comptroller General Wright was sworn as a witness on this point, but stated positively that he had never given any instructions to the effect that any returns should be accepted at thls valuation. It might have been true, as claimed by the railroads, that certain boards of arbitra- ton had put their assessments at two- thirds value and given as reason that other property was usually returned at this valuation. But if this were true, then it was held that the comptroller generals assessments were for full valua- ton and in accordance with law.
 Following the argument which was very brief Judge Pendleton granted decrees in favor of the state holding that the assess ments were in accordance with law and that the state had legal right to levy on the property In question for the taxes claimed.

rne Hair and Scalp.

Shampoolng the hair too often is
injurious to the hair and scalp. Once
month is as often as the hair and
scalp should be washed. It can be
kept perfectly clean by brushing thor
oughly with a coarse brush, and the
brushing is much better for the hair.
Water. must be used upon the hair
only when it is washed. Used any 9th
or time it fades the hair. Massage
the scalp with the cushion tips Of
the fingers, being very careful not to
scratch the scalp with the nails. Irfi-
tating the scalp in any way will
cause dandruff. Occasionally, after
the massage, apply lotion of borax
and glycerin, two drains of each to
eight ounces of distilled water. This
is cooling, and allays dryness of the
skin.

Debating to the Press
How ii Works When Met
by Comlllon Sense Tactics


Near the Twin Cities in Minnesota
some storekeepers wanted to run
newspaper, not from the inside, but
from the outside. When their dictation
was turned down they proceeded to
withhold their patronage. There was
another newspaper there-a servile
one. 1t was padded with. business and
the other was given the "will bring
your to time" look 1t was funny for
while but fun, like other things,
has an end, two ends in fact.
After long wait in hopes that
the boycott would come to an end,
the newspaper in question began
running mail order advertisements.
They paid better than the home aaver-
Using had paid. Shortly there was a
scramble to get ind cover. The home
merchant was anxious to get back into
the erstwhile boycotted newspaper
The laugh, the funny feature, was on
the other fellows. Then got back in by
paying twice as much as they had paid
before. This was eight years ago and a
recent letter from the publisher says
that the boycott has Melted him 81, 900
in the eight years figuring interest at
eight per cent.
Perhaps after all paid the merchants,
too, for they learned something they
didn't know before and that is that the
people can live without any particular
ones. The story about taxes and cred
it's, the little red school house and that
dollar that came back ninety-nine
times in ninty-nine days reads nicely,
but we are living in fast age and peo-
pie forget the first part of many a talk
ere the last is told. The News has
treated the subject of local trade upon
what it bellows to be rational lines.
There is ample reason for standing by
home merchants and it devolves upon
home merchants the duty of assisting in
presenting these reasons to the public.
If the home merchant fails to do this
he has only himself to blame if business
goes to those who do. The News is
not going to apologize for the merchant
WHO is too Indifferent to keep in touch
with the people, or, perhaps like those
mentioned above, who purposed running
a newspaper from the outside-by the
boycott plan.
News readers generally know that
the News is the premier of Rusk county
papers in circulation. They know that
merchants wanting their trade advertise
in the News and by reverse reasoning
will conclude that those who withhold
their advertising don't want their trade.
The common sense of the people is an
appnoachable quantity.
The News is a Rusk county paper
first, last and all the time. You don't
read in it how much better the great
west or far south is than the clover
land Of Wisconsin. You don't read
about dangerous wild animals roaming
the woods. Y on don't read in it about
terrific cyclones and roaring forest fires
in big black type. But you do read
about industry, and progress and OPP
portunity and how fortunate you are
that you are here instead of the storm
and wind swept areas elsewhere. And
we say: S'patronize the merchants
who advertise in your paper.
