the hEDQEA CASE
The Oenfense Hold that Under tho
Law the Road Need not Make
Statement

The defense in the Hedden case
hold that under the act providing for
an annual meeting Of the State
Board OF Assessors no railroad can
be assessed. q greater or less valua-
ton, than the valuation fixed by the
assessors at that meeting.
The law is very explicit and in
terms, states that the valuation fixed
by, the state board cannot be changed
by the County Boards of Equalization
What then difference would Hedden's
statement to the assessor make as
the valuation had already been fixed.
Taking this legal view of the case
il is unfair to charge Mr.. Hedden
with perjury in neglecting to mention
the roads full assets. If the road
had a million more assets the
county of Esmeralda could not as
sess it a cent higher than on the
valuation fixed by the state.
The Appeal does not believe that
the present law enables the state to
secure the full amount of taxes the
road should be made to pay, but it
is the law of the state, it had been
so recognized for eight years and
under the strict legal Interpretation
the prosecution of Hedden looks tt
be a useless expenditure of public
money.
If there is desire to make The
roads pay more taxes, and thu,
} should be made to pay more, th'
: state law should be amended first s
as to cover the case

Carson Business Men Who Condemn
THE Anarchist Of EoIdNetd

The Anarchist Of GoIdNetd
Whereas The merchants and bust
ness men OF this city have found it |
necessary to organize the Carson
City Board of Trade for the pro.ec-
tion OF their mutual interests, as well
as for the active cooperation with
the merchants and business men Of
Goldfeld and other places on ac
count of the existing inter-labor DIFF
ferences in the town of GOldfeld,
stimulated by the so-called Industrial
Workers of the World, which organi-
zation threatens to paralyze the mer-
camille and mining interests through
out the State of Nevada, and
Whereas 1t is apparent that the
attitude of the said Industrial Work
ers of the World is not founded upon
principles of justice, equity and fair
dealing between employer and en-
ployee and is condemned by the best
recognized labor unions throughout
the country, and
Whereas The Carson City Board
of Trade has passed resolution
along the lines of the above;
Now Therefore We the undersign-
ed citizens Of Carson City, Ormsby
County, Nevada. for the purpose of
cooperating with the said Board OF
Trade, do hereby bind ourselves sew

YULETlDE AT ACORN.

We have been constant reader of the Star from it's incipiency, but in looking over the last page re- gently can find nothing from Acorn. The time-honored 18th is with us again and something has been said and done that you may think worthy of being chroni- cled.
 If there has been any drunken hoodlums they have been very prominently absent; no vandal- ism or violation of the law has been reported.
 It is of the school and it's man agement aud what 1t has accom- plished that 1 want to write of. Our board of directors authoriz d nine months school, which commenced in July, with Mir. Fair as principal and Miss Laven- der assistant, and with this be- ginning we were led 10 expect great things and in this we were not disappointed. But at the expiration of two months we had to answer to call from the wilds aud straightway forwarded Mir. Fair to his chosen work among the Choctaws. But this change caused no brake in the school Miss Lavender was equal to the emer- gency and was placed for the nex' fortnight, when Prof. Shiun was employed 10 complete the term. Furthermore some five weeks ago past Miss Lavender was talk en from us to fill contract she had previously made to teach at Meua. But the wheel of fortune has steadily turned our way and in November brought toour school the accomplished Miss Florence Thompson, who has proved a charming success in managing the primary department.
 Time and space will not stuff e me to tell of the exercises of the academy the night before Christ mas, all of which was under the control of the faculty and every student had part to act and the program was rendered without a hitch. In the meantime two nice cedar trees had been arranged and superbly dressed and decor ated, as were the walls of the room by bevy of young girls, Miss Florence Thompson iu caarge, with Misses Ada Lowery, Brook Harris Dolly Wiggius, Gerty Filming. Mamie Reid, Nelly petefish as assistants and Messrs. Gaylord Wright and Ross White, were auxiliarics. There were presents galore and if there were any present who were not well pleased they can't blame old St Nick.

BUTT PAYING
 THE PENALTY
An Arkansas Senator Goes to The Peni- tentiary Under Two Years Sentence
 For Bribery.

Little Rock, Jan. l.-Senator Festus Orestes Butt of Carroll cou 1ty will go to the state peni- tcntiary alone today to begin two yeats sentence imposed on him by a jury in the PerryYlle circuit court last August. He arrived in the city yesterday morning, accompanied by dele gation of friends, and announced his readiness to pay the penalty provided by law.
 Senator Butt looks very much careworn aud does not appear to be in as good health as at the time of either his trial or during his service in the legislature. He was accompanied to Little Rock yesterday by Judge J. $. Naples of Berryville, Troy Pace of Eureka Springs and Jehu w. Poynor of Osaee. These three men came as representatives of Senator Butts friends in Carroll county, aud will remain with him until he passes within the prison walls to begin his two years sentence. They brought with them oue petition containing more than 2,5o0 names, which was filed with Governor Davis yesterday, asking that Senator Butt be granted pardon. They stated that three other petitions containing about 2,500 names each will be forwarded to the governor within a few days. The four petitions, they stated, We're circulated in Carroll and Madison counties, the two counties repre- sented by Senator Butt iu the last general assembly. When the first petition was presented to Governor Davis yesterday he informed the committee that lie would consider 1t later. bat iuu- mated that no clemency could be expected from him.
 Although under the order of the Supreme court no commit ment can be issued uutil Wednes- day. Senator Butt will begin his service in the penitentiary today. He calied at the Supreme court clerks offi,e yesterday and asked for his ommitment, stating that he intended to begin his sentence at once. He was informed that no commitment would be issued until Wednesday, but that he could get credit for any time served prior to that. He informed them that he would go to the penitentiary today.
 Senator Butt spent great deal of time at the state house yester- day shaking hands with officials and clerks. Several state sena- tors who served in the last legis- lature with him were among those with whom he talked yesterday.
 He refused to make any state ment other than 10 say that he was ready to begin his sentence. He discussed other topics aud laughed with his friends, bat when approached on the subject of his conviction he always asked to be excused from making any statement. He was informed yesterday by several who have talked with peniientiary officials that he need not expect any favors as a convict. It is prob able that he will be put into one of the gangs which are working the railroads and will be forced to work just the same as the other convicts. The penitentiary off cials have intimated that
