County Tax Muddie
 Is Again Up

The annual tax wrangle has again 1 come to the front and will again be threshed out in the courts as to whether the territorial board of equal ization has the right to raise the val- uation of the patented mining prop critics in some of the counties in the territory and allow others to remain as they were turned in.
 Suit was filed in the district court here yesterday by Attorneys Herring, Sorin X Ellinwood for the Copper Queen company against Cochise coun- ty and J x Gaines as ex.officio tax collector of the county to prevent the county from collecting the taxes levied upon the patented mining claims of the company on account of the 100 per cent raise that was made by the territorial board of equaliza- tion and subsequently, placed upon the duplicate assessment roll of Co., chise county by the board of super. visors
 A temporary injunction has been granted by the court, preventing the tax collector from levying taxes on the raise until after the case has been tried in the courts. The company has paid it's taxes, amounting to 69,6l0.02 or the original assessment as fixed by ths county board of equalization before
 the raise was made by the territorial
 board, and has been given receipt or account, ss that will not affect th' : bringing of a suit to collect the bal
 ance of the taxes The suit wa
 brought at this time to proven | the taxes becoming delinquent or = Monday next and allowing the pen |, alties and costs to accumulate as the,
 become due under the present back
 tax law
 . The Copper Queen company ha Q heretofore taken a general view of tn
 tax matters and has fought it out il
 the courts, SO that the results of thei . suits has been a benefit to all. Thi year the suit is brought only agains the county and its tax collector t n prevent the collection only of the a e legged illegal raise made on it's patente
 mining claims, and does rot cove
 that of any other company. Asa COT :, sequence tine other companies are ge N ting ready to file their suits as againt u the raise made by the territorial boar ). It is understood that during the ne1 a few days and before the taxes becom
 delinquent on Monday next suits wi e be brought in behalf of the Tombston
 Consolidated Mining company, tn
 Black Diamond Mining company, an - the Calumet X Arizona Mining con Il pany, as well as number of othe
 Bisbee companies.
 The complaint as filed in the Cor
 per Queen case is a lengthy affair an n covers some twenty-one pages of type | written matter. the complaint rt q cites that the company was assesse
 with l30 patented mining claims, ( Il which the county board of equalizs
 tion raised the valuation on l23 (
 them from B per acre to $I5 per acr = or from S7,203 20 to s2l, ,9O9.6o an that thereafter this this amount wa A further increased by tine "unlawfr ( acts of the territorial board of equal q ization and by the unlawful act of tn
 board ofsupervisors o: Cochise county.
 Many legal points Iare raised as
 the legality of the territorial board :, action, and ask that the county be rt
 strained from collecting $6l ,993.13 ac =, ditional tax above the original amour
 already rendered.

HAS HEARING THIS P. M.

Dude" Smith, hack driver, we'll
known in the city on account of the
many times he has figured in police
court stories, was arrested Saturday
night in East Grand Forks on charge
of criminal assault, and this AFTER
noon is having preliminary exam
ination before Judge T. A. Sullivan on
that charge.
Mrs. A. Bierdsmore of Rugby juno
ton is the complaining witness. She
claims that she got into his hack on
Saturday morning at about o'clock,
and that man named Tweet, living in
Grand Forks, also got into the hack.
Tweet was taken home first, and
Smith is then alleged to have taken
Mrs. Bierdsmore to point east of the
Central school house in East Grand
Forks-there stopped the horses, got
into the hack and, Mrs. Bierdsmore
claims, assaulted her. She fought
hard, however, and put him out of the
cab He then got onto the drivers
box again, took her to within half
block of the NJ. Morarity home in
East Grand Forks to which place she
was going. He asked her to- keep the
matter quiet, she claims This morn
ing she identified Smith as the driver,
and is appearing against him in the
municipal court.
