Gated in crimes at Globeville, Cripple
Greek and Denver, on the oath of
Harry Orchard, were called as wit
nesses today in the Haywood trial
and denied Orchards testimony
Malich swore that Orchard. and not
he, suggested the plot of dynamiting
the non-union men in q boarding
house at Gloveville, and originated the
idea of killing William Mcdonald,
one of Malicns business rivals.
He admitted being burned by some
mysterious acid thrown into his room,
but denied the acid was Partibone
dope" left there by Steve and Annie
Adams, or that his store was burned
by 'Pettibone dope while he was alb
sent.
Cross examination of all three
showed a purpose on the part Of the
state to further deal with them when
rebuttal is reached.

That the County Commissioners of
Escambia county intend furthering
the movement for good roads is shown
by the tax levy placed for road and
bridge purposes. The levy FOR the
coming year is 31s mills, against .
Iuills the past year, and from this
amount it is estimated that about
$4,000 will be received A small in
crease was made in the total tax levy
amounting to less than a mill, the
big increase in the road and bridge
levy being secured by reducing the
levy for some other purposes. The
levies for both general and fine ard
forfeiture purposes were reduced.
This action was taken at a special
meet of the commissioners held Mon
day night, with Chairman Merritt
presiding and all members present
At that time the assessment books OF
Tax Assessor Richards were received.
Increase in Valuation.
The assessment books showed that
there had been big increase IL the
valuation of property in Escambia
county. The books showed the total
valuation of all properties TO be 49,
100000 an increase of nearly $S00.00n.
The principal increase is in real es-
LdIO. he assessments LOT TIE past
three years show the valuations as
follows:

1907 :. $500, 900
There has also been an increase
made by the state, due to the pension
act. In 1906, the total state and
county levy was 10 mills. This year
it will be 81 mills.
Bridges and Roads.
The commissioners of Escambia In
tend to continue the movement for
good roads throughout the county.
Some increase in the levy tOr reads
and bridges was necessary, owing to
the fact that one or more steel or
concrete bridges are to be construct
ed during the coming year, necessi-
tating the outlay of considerable
amount One of these bridges is to
be over Little Bayou, and bids have
already been invited for its construc-
ton, and it is considered that Escarn-
bia and Santa Rosa counties Will
Jointly construct a bridge over the

granted to the United Confederate
Veterans during the month OF October
when the state reunion is to be held

1t has heretofore been the policy Of
the board not TO grant the use of the
armory hall to anyone, but the mem

ferent view of the matter. When the
applications were heard, Chairman
Merritt stated that inasmuch as the

The men have been instructed each day, before they were sent on duty, to disregard preferment in any way. and take no personal interest in the af- fair other than that of officers on duty.
 Because Officer Roberts did not follow these instructions he was sus- pended" continued the Chief. Accord ing to the report received by me- Can- ty and Cloud, bicycle oficers, inter- fered with some boys who were trying to cause a disturbance at the Square, when Qficer Roberts intefered. say ing:
