THE Attorney-General has drawn
public attention to a point of law
which relates to the collection OF
school taxes, and it will be well for
school committees, as well as tax
collectors, to give it close attention.
The school law makes it obligatory
for the tax collector to collect and
settle with the school committees
within thirty days from receipt Of
his warrant to collect taxes. Few
are aware of this law but it is a
wise provision. We publish in this
paper an article under the heading,
"School Money Short, - which
brings out several points on this
question, as well as gives the At
torney-General's S opinion on the law.

BUTTE, Sept. 6.--William +. Far,
re!l, chief deputy clerk of the court,
and Geo. +. Dancer, formerly Justice
OF the peace, were taken into custody
last night or the allegation that they
have defrauded the court by padding
jury lists. Immediately following his
arrest, Farrell made the statement
that Clerk of the Court w. +. Davies
knew nothing at all of what had been
done. 1t was at Mr.. Davies instiga.
ton that the arrests were made. Ac.
cording TO Mr.. Davies statement his
attention was called to the condition
Of the books in his Office by Assistant
State Examiner Ray, of Helena.
Examiner Ray noticed ia particular
that the amount paid out for iuries
during August was more than usual.
Mr.. Davies at once made investiga.
ton, and, according to his statement,
found that warrants had been issued
for jurors pay at u time ia August
when no jury had been used in any of
the courts. Further investig alton,
he stated. showed that the warrants
had been assigned to Dancer, and that

highwayman Fooled BY Messenger.

BUTTE, Sept. GA bold attempt
was made shortly after 1 O'Clock this
morning to rob the safe OF the North
ern Pacific Express company at the
depot. The presences of mind, cool.
ness and courage Of Messenger John
L. Dunkel was the only thing that
prevented the highwayman from &C.
completing his work. When con.
fronted by the robber and ordered to
put up his hands," an ugly looking
gun was staring him 10 the face.
Dunkel gave a sudden sidestep aud,
whipping his big revolver from his
hip pocket, met the robber face to face
and fired.
He was apparently nervous and his
bullet missed the object. AT about
the same time the highwayman pulled
the trigger of his gun and his aim was
truer than that of Dunkel, with the re.
suit that the bullet entered his left
shoulder. SCATTERING the bone pretty
badly, and ~ylancing down, lodged in
the breast.
Dunkel rushed ou, Of the door Of
the company's Office at the depot to
secure assistance, and. meeting u car
inspector who had heard the shots,
gave him his gun 70 take a shot at the
highwaymen, who was still ia the
building when Dunkel went out. How.
ever. he was too late. AS Dunkel left
the room the robber made his disap-
pearance through a side door and got
away down the track before he could
be reached.

with the approval of the engineers,
bn. in the course OF a close analytical
scrutiny several alleged defects were
pointed out. For instance, section II
was criticised as imposing too great a
burden of expense in costs on private

The point was raised by State In.
gineer Stephenson of Idaho that sec.
ton "a, providing for appropriation

men., gives 100 much favoritism to

the word photographic and the lat.
ter as being entirely impracticable,

tiers should be paid by the county
commissioners direct.
Owing to a lack of time t o discuss
the matter before them ia detail, the
engineers finally decided tina. each
state official should take up the que.-
