QUEER ACTING NAN

SUSPICION

A big man of strange actions was
taken into custody by City Police
men Simms and McCloud on Pike
street Tuesday evening and placed
in the lookup on suspicion. He
was apparently full of dope and
when examined by City Health Of
ficer Warner in the city pen called a
lookup, was declared to be mentally
unbalanced. A box of cocaine was
found in one of the mans pockets.
To the police he said his name was
Cavanaugh.
1t is said that cayanaugi has
been camping out on PinnickinnicS
bill for the past week or 50 and that
he has large number of pistols.

some bushes on the hill. A police
man was detailed to search for these
weapons this afternoon and also to
work upon an attendant circum-
stance in connection with the mans
appearance in the community He
will be held a prisoner until the
police complete their investigation.

The SlaY, howeSer, was so glad to

and the officers for OBTAINING him
under mistaken identity, he thank

believed he was serving sentence for

To the People Of Harrison Comfy
As shown By the Actual
Figures.
BIG AMOUNT SAVED.
In the Matter Of Both State and
Country Taxes, To the Tax
payers In Tie County.
BIG AMOUNT SAVED.

In his speech here Tuesday night
Governor Dawson gave some inter
esting and convincing figures about
Harrison county relative to the new
tax laws. He showed that the real
estate assessment IN 1904 under the
old laws was $7,926,l6S. and in
1906 under the new laws s?s, 1884,
375, an increase Of S.72 times. The
personal property in 1904 was ST.
1190S5 and in 1908 it is s1i,-
46S,l45. an increase less than 2 81
times. The total for 1904 was Sl2-
o45l9S and in 1906 it is $4o,957.-
$50.
In 1904 the assessment of COR
porations amounted 10 s9S9. 043,
and in 1906 it is s.. 345, 295, an IN
crease of nearly ten times.
The total assessment Of the coun-
tv in 1901 was sl3.034.241 and this
vearit Is $50. 3Os,s15, less than four
times increase.
The total state tax for the county
under the old laws was 81, Isl, md
Under the new laws but S34,Slt- a
saving of Dab for The county. The
school fund paid back to the county
by the state in 1906 is $2l,36s.50
and in 1904 it was but $14,9sS. 0s. a
saving to the county of $3.50.
This added to the other savings not
| ed makes a total saving Of $13;74O'
for the real estate and personal
property owners, not including cor=
porations. With these included the
state tax in 1904 in this county was
$46.622 and in 1906 is s4s, 756,
which with corporations included;
makes the total saving for the coun-s
|itv on state moneys amount to abous
$4,000. ~
In county matters he called at
tention to the fact that the levy
was 60 cents under the old law and
but 10 cents under the new. The
tax in 1904 for county purposes was
S7S,S10 and this year it 81 but s;'e s
3O3, saving of $s7 .907. or a total
saving Of nearly $40, 600 for the
year.
Governor Dawson gave two far
examples of the benefits Of taxa
ton in this county The first was
that Of Lee Maxwell, Democratic
nominee for the Legislature, whose
tax this year is 1858 less than n
1904 and on another farm Of ms
$16.S7 less than in 1904. he also
showed his auditors that ". Brent
llaxwell's taxes on one farm .
$32.67 less than under the old laws.
These are fair examples
