MOB FREES GOODS
SEIZED FOR TAXES
Kentuckians Raid a Collector S
Home in Protest Against
Levy on Old Bonds.

Journal Special Service.
Olive Hill, KY, Dec. 27.-Heavily
armed and marching with the precision
of trained troops, a mob Of 1000 men
took possession of Olive Hill and forced
Levi White, collector of taxes, to sur
he had levied for taxes.
The stock was removed from the col
lector 8 home and returned to the store
of Levi Oppenheimer, from which it
! had been taken. The armed band then
paraded the streets firing volley after
volley in celebration Of the work.
John Armstrong, deputy sheriff,
was shot in the foot. An unknown
man was slightly wounded by two bull
| lets, which grazed his side.
The trouble is Of old standing. Six
Carter, Elliott and Boyd counties to
| pay for the construction of the Lex
ington g. Big Sandy railroad. which
was never built. The bonds passed
! into the hands of innocent purchasers
and suit was brought to require special
| levies of taxes to pay interest and
principal. The levy was made and for
many years citizens of Carter and FL
! lott counties have been bearing the
| burden of the increased taxation.
The generation which voted the bonds
is now dead. The original purchasers
are also dead, and the second genera
tion is now attempting to collect the
money from the second generation Of
those who voted for the bonds.
Recently a test was made of the
power to collect taxes imposed to pay
the railroad claims. Judgment was OBJ
tanned against Mr.. oppenheimer. His
stock Of goods was seized to be sold
to satisfy the Judgment.
Realizing this would be test case,
men of the two counties decided to
meet the test with arms. - "

GUT LITTLE BELL

Important Developments We're
Made in DAILY West Mine
This Week.
BAMsEReER's STATEMENT.
Ore Body Encountered Is Large One
Means Much for Future Of
Park City Property.

For several days there has been a
stiffening In the price of DAILY West
stock, and local brokers have had nu-
merous orders for 1t from the east AL
though transfers on the exchange have
not been many the interest aroused led
TO the suspicion that possibly some i'm
portant developments had been made
at the mine, which was confirmed to-
day by President Jacob II. Bamberger.
For some time past the manage
ment has been devotlng all Its energy
towards extending the 300 level to tho
Little Bell contact vein, and President
Bamberger says this has been accom-
plished, owing 10 a fault In the for
nation the objective point was not
reached as soon as was expected, but
the ore was broken into few days
ago In an upralse.
President Bamberger declared today
that the extent Of the ore body has
not been definitely ascertained, but has
reasons TO believe II will prove every
bit as important as the management
has hoped for, which practically means
the making Of a new mine out Of the
DAILY West.
