The insurance of women is becoming
quite as general as of men, and the ma :
jority of American companies now make
no distinction in premium rates. They
formerly charged more for women than
for men, but the statistics of the COM
panies covering a period of years shows
that the risk on the lives of women is
less than on the lives of men.

TIES LIVES ARE THREATENED
BY FRIENDS OF WILDCATS"

Gadsden, September 14-Three revenue
officers, Deputy Collector w. w. Battles
and Deputy Marshals Hill and Arnold, de-
stroyed a large Illicit distillery yesterday
afternoon between Mountainboro and
Boaz. The still was in full operation when
the officers arrived on the scene, but the
operators had evidently been informed of
the approach of the officers for they were
no where to be found.
The still and all the fixtures were de-
stroyed by the officers. After finishing
their work ~ = ceeded on to
Boaz. a dis q dls- =. five miles. Hers
they were warned that trouble was brew
ing, and that they had better be on their
guard. as threats of vengeance had been
made against them and their lives were
in danger.
At Mountainboro two masked men car
rying shotguns walked the full length OF
the train and inspected the passengers
from the outside, and it was evident that
they did not recognize the officers, as
they left without creating and disturb
ance.
The passengers were panic-stricken and
crawled under the seats and concealed
themselves. Many people here think that
these are the same men who murdered
Davis, and the reason given is that they
may have suspected Davis of informing
the officers of the location of the still.

SALOON KEEPER is
ROBBED AND KILLED
MOUNTAIN BoRO, ALA, MAN MUIR
DERED AND HIS BODY HORRl-
BLY, MUTILATED BY ROBBERS.
ABOUT $500 MISSING.

Gadsden, September 14.-Reports of one
of the most bloody murders in the history
of this section reached here this morning
from near Mountainboro, about twelve
miles northwest of Gadsden on the Nash
Vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis rail-
road, which took place at saloon. The
evident object was robbery and probably
revenge.
John Davis, who operated a saloon near
Mountainboro for the Gadsden Distillery
company, was found dead early ais aorr-
ing In the saloon, horribly mutilated and
slashed, evidently with knife. Between
$500 and $500. the money from the sales
for the past several days, was missing.
No trace was left by the murderers and
robbers, and at what hour the murder
and robbery occurred is not known From
the position of the body and the sur
roundings, 1t is supposed that Davis was
aroused in the middle of the night on the
pretext that some one wanted whisky and
when he went to the door was attacked.
There were evidences of a terrible strug-
gle, and thSt the men who committed
the crime were familiar with the habits
of Davis and the surroundings Of the
place.
Davis was about so years of age and
was well known in this city, where he re-
sided for several years. His remains were
brought here for burial tonight
The murder and robbery created intense
excitement here and a number of deputy
sheriffs left Immediately for the scene Of
the crime. The section where the crime
was committed is known as one OF the
most lawless in this part of the state. and
has given the officers no end of trouble
for several years.

Etowah County Assessment.

Gadsden, September 14-(Special) Tax
Assessor Hurst finished the tax ASSESS
ment of Etowah county for 1906 today.
According to the report there is now
$6s4s, 7O6 of taxable property in the coun-
ty. This assessment is flnal as both the
circuit and commissioners courts have
passed upon all suits filed against the
assessor and they have all been settled.
The assessment for 1905 were $685., 604,
showing a gain of $45s,3 for the present
year.
The gain is more remarkable from the
fact that $171.000 of mortgages are not
included in this years assessments, the
supreme court having recently declared
the mortgage tax unconstitutional. There
fore, the real gain over last year is 1929, :
1902, as the mortgage tax was deducted
from the total. The largest tax payer In
the county is the Alabama Great South
ern railroad, which will pay something
over $4,000
