SAY ENGINEER IS
MISCHIEF MAKER
LESSEE OF MINIATURE RAIL
ROAD ARRESTED
Said to Have Taken Important Parts
of the Machinery In Order to
Prevent the Roads
Operation

The war between the rival miniature
railroads of Catalina island and Venice
of America came to head yesterday
when Deputy Sheriff Holman arrest
ed John Colt, engineer of the little
road at Venice, on charge of malici-
GUS mischief in that he is alleged to
have decamped, taking with him cer-
tain vital parts of the miniature en-
gines.
For some time the small engines
which draws the miniature train about
the Venice canals and has proven one
of the chief features of amusement of
that beach. have been resting peace
fully in their stalls while Colt, the en-
gineer, has been taking pleasure trips
about the country.
Incidentally, it is alleged that before
Colt decamped he took the spark plugs
and several other small but vital por-
tions from the engines so that they
have been out of commission.
AS a result the crowds of the past
week have been disappointed and the
Kinney company has seen several full
grown dollars go elsewhere when they
might as well have been landed by the
Kinney people.
Looking for Brother
In the meantime search has been
made for Colt and yesterday tn dputy
managed to serve his warrant and Colt
was brought to Los Angeles and ar
raigned before Justice Young, his trial
set for November and his bail fixed
at $10O. Peter Colt, wanted on sim
liar charge, is said to be in Nevada
with a few more spark plugs, and he
also may be brought back.
The situation at present is peculiar
The Colt boys claim the engines as
their property by contract and that
therefore they had a right to take any
portion of the engines away with them,
They further allege that they have a
to manage the miniature rail-
way now in course of construction
about Avalon harbor, following the
coast line to Pebbly beach and the
lsthmus.
AS the Colt boys are said II be prac-
tically the only men on the coast who
can properly operate miniature rail-
road it is said that II they go to Cata-
lima 1t will take great portion of the
from Venice and place 1t
with the already popular island resort.
AS result lively fight is promised
when the case comes up in the lower
court, when John Colt will be charged
with malicious mischief in decamping
with sundry vital portions of the en-
CINE which cannot be duplicated on the
coast.
Although Colt is under arrest the
missing portions of the engine are still
1T large and the engines are still at
eisure In the Venice round house.

Richmond attorney and Wayne
county taxing officials were yesterday
discussing with display Of interest
the Supreme Court decision that
banks and trust companies must dis
close tire accounts. of. depositors when
called upon to do so by the asses

The case arose at Washington,
Ind, when the county assessor made
an affidavit that he had reason to be-
lieve one of the depositors' in the
Washington National bank had not
listed all of his money, and asked for
ain oder of court that the bank should
'produce it's cash register, draft regis
ter and personl account and indi-
vidual ledger, so far as they related
to the personal account of the de-
position named, with all drafts, checks
receipts and memoranda pertaining
to his account.
i The court issued such an order, I'M
fIcI the dutuOIlty VI ,Illc dClS VI I0OI
,page109, and the bank appealed, as
sorting that this act was unconstitu-
tional.
The court said there was nothing
unreasonable in providing for a
seafch for omitted property by the
taxing officers. eff the omission
was accidental, - said. the court,
"the owner ought not to. complain,
and if intentional he ought not to be
heard except as to the truth, Of the
supposed discovery. aI
s"Any one who avoids the payment
of his ratable share Of taxes violates
the law, and, when such vasion is be-
ing attempted, it is the public duty
of banks as well as of all other cor
porations having knowledge, when
called upon by proper authority to
disclose it. There is no more moral
excuse or legal justification for con-
cealing the delinquency of the tax
dodger' than for any other class of

The negotiations for the plant of
the defunct Richmond Canning Com
pany by the agents of the 7. J. Polk
Company of Greenwood, Ind, have
fallen through and Henry Bullerdick,
who purchased the plant at public
sale, has taken possession of the
property, making payment of
$4,000 to George r. Bullerdick, the
assignee for the company.
The report of the sale of the prop
erty was fled yesterday morning in
the circuit court by Attorney w. III.
Kelley and there is no doubt but
that the sale will be approved and
Mr.. Bullerdick given an assignee IS
deed.
Mr.. Bullerdick will operate the
plant this summer and fall and al
ready he has secured guarantees for
nearly two acres of tomatoes md ex-
poets to secure options on at least
two more acres. With a favorable
crop the capacity of the plant will
be taxed. A large amount of corn
will also be canned.

The carriers evening distribution
of mail matter at the postoffice has
been discontinued upon the order of
the postoffice department. at Wash
ington and in. accordance with the
recommendation of Postoffice Inspec-
tor. Fletcher, who recently paid Rich
mond a, visit and who made. some IN
quiries concerning the service here.
The evening distribution of mail
matter has been time honored fea-
ture Of the Richmond postofice, but
it is held that it is not of general
public benefit; that only very
small proportion of the patrons of
the Office make use Of it and further
more that the carriers time is too
greatly needed during the day on the
regular deliveries.
1t has been a fact generally observ-
ed that the Richmond postoffice is
really i'll need of larger carrier
force to properly cover'the city. The
demands upon the force as it now
exists are, tits asserted, too great,
and it is because of this condition
that on some of the routes 1t has
make ala the deliveries scheduled. z
make all the dliveries. scheduled.
With a ,redistricting of the city
and the addition Of a new carrier or
two, the service which already is ex-
cellent, could be improved to the BEN
eft of the public. According to in
formation from Washington the mat
ter of ineeasing the carriers force
in the Richmond postoffice has not
been pressed, though it is under
stood there that additions will be
made to the force of clerks who ham
die the inside business of the office.
When this will be don, however,
has not been given out. The in
crease of the carrier force at the
Richmond postoffice has not kept
apace with the growth of the city
and the increase of postal business
here, and while it is said that inspec-
tors who have investigated conditions
here will readily admit this to be the
fact, they are not the ones to rec
ommend an increase.
1t is their duty to keep expenses
down and unless there is vigorous
demand for larger carrier force
from the patrons and the postmaster,
10 action in this direction will be ta-
ken.

Collection of Dog Tax Being Careful

{ Harry Meek, newly installed as
SCISSOR for Wayne township, is dis
playing marked ability in the manner
in which he is handling the affair of
his. office and his corps of deputies
are piling up the finished work in
good shape. In addition to the rou-
tine of the assessors who are in the
field the Office task of compiling and
arranging the assessment blanks as
they are brought in is one of pains
taking character.
There is every likelihood that this
years assessment will compare ia
vorably with the total value of
Wayne township taxable property in
the past few years. There is, OF
course, hope that it will show an
increase and if the diligent work of
the assessor has anything to do with
this, such will be the result.
The collection of the dog tax is the
"stickler," but as rule the asses
sors are experiencing little trouble.
They have no time to make more than
one call on dog owner for the fee
and under the law have the right to
return the name of the delinquent
Immediately. If he does not settle
before the period of assessing is
concluded, the name goes to the
township trustee, and after a short
period is turned over to the county
prosecutor, who has but one course
to prosecute.
