s,rhe discovery OF Captain II. S. DOH
ahoe. who is compiling u history of
Fairfax county. is provoking II variety
Of comment. Tho discovery" Is con-
tanned In the following extract from
the n,,sty records OF the county:
1--WE present George William Fairfax,
George Washington, John Carlyle.
Daniel French Robert Boggcs. Catesby
Cooke, Townshcnd lDade. Sylblll West,
Garrard Alexander. Jeniinn Minor
Willias, Ramsay. Benjamin GraSson.
George Mason. John Plummer. Daniel
Mccarthy and Abraham Barnes for
(not) entering their wheeled carriages
agreeably to law. as appears to us by
the list delivered to the clerk Of the
county
Unfortunately, there is no record of
the defense which these distinguished
tax dodgers made, or of the disposi-
ton OF the ''prcsentment," or indfct-
lncnt. Ono theory is that Washington's
tax list was made up about the time
OF his marriage to tho Widow Custis,
and that he was too busy at lovc-mak-
ing to give close attention to such
lprosy documents as tax lists. Another
is that he and Ills associates In crime
had conspred 10 test the constitutions
atty OF the law taxing their wheels.
But no matter what tho reason, no
ono who has read the life of George
Washington Will believe that he delib-
crately fasitied his tax returns in or
der to save n few shillngs. Washing
ton had his faults. but he was never
mercenary. The man who set his
slaves free would not dodge a tax col
lcctor.

LOCAL HUNTERS SHOULD
GET HUNTING LICENSE
Law Forbids Hunting Small Game Outside Ones County
Without License. ...Costs But a Dollar and Covers
Both Large and Small Came

turtle dove, prairie chicken, white
breasted or sharp-tailed grouse,
quail, partridge, ruffed grouse or
pheasant, woodcock, upland plover,
golden plover or any or all of the
same combined, or fifty (5O) snipe,
wild duck, goose, brant, or any vari-
ETY. of acquatic fowl, whatever, or
any or all of the same combined.
The local game warden desires
hunters in this vicinity to strictly
understand that he intends to rigidly
enforce the law relative to hunting
small game, and those residing here
who do not have licenses, and are
caught hunting in Clearwater, Hub
bard or Cass counties will be prose-
cuted to the fullest extent of the
law.
County Auditor Wilmann has
received the license tags from the
game and fish commission, and up
to 2 o'clock this afternoon but seven
persons had taken icenses-cer-
tainly a small proportion of those
who will undoubtedly hunt small
game beginning next Sunday.
probably all that is necessary for
negligent sportsmen.
Go get license!
The law relative to licensing hunt
ers remains the same in effect as it
was previous to the recent session
of the legislature, though somewhat
different in wording. No license is
required for a hunter to shoot small
game in the county in which he
resides but if he desires to hunt
outside his own county he must pro-
cure license, costing S1.00, from
his county auditor. The license
permits hunter to shoot all kinds
of game, in season, and confers
shipping privileges.
Only one license can be issued to
any one person and is not transfer
able. 1t is also the duty of every
hunter to exhibit his license to any
person, on request.
The license is of the coupon vari-
ETY. and has tags attached to be
used in shipment of game by the
hunter to his place of residence.

closed seasons for all game and
giving much valuable information
may be had by applying to the

TENDER LIST.
The season for shooting partridges
does not open until October lst.
Hunters should take heed that
they have license to hunt small
game in an adjoining county.
The game and fish law is very
strict relative to this matter-a
hunter is subject to heavy fine for
every bird shot outside of his home
county, unless he has procured a
license therefor.
In order to better enforce the law,
the last Legislature passed an amend
ment to the law, whereby the state
now gives a reward of SO for
information that will lead to the
conviction of anyone violating this
law.
The law relative to the payment
of rewards is as follows:
Sec. Fl. Rewards.-The following rewards
shall be paid by the game and fish commission
out Of any funds subject to its order to any
person Or persons making complaint thereof,
for the arrest and conviction Of any person

HEAVY Loss OF LIFE
About Eighty Men Killed IN Col
lapse Of Bridge.
n iH
FEW BODIES FOUND so FAR

Over Sixty Employees Missing Since
the Accident Was In
Course OF Building at the Time Of
the Terrible Accident.
Quebec, Aug. 31.-According to 4
statement given out by the officials
Of the Quebec Bridge company the
number of dead as result of the col
lapsing of the Quebec bridge is at
least seventy-eight. They say that
fourteen of the bodies have been re-
covered, nine men rescued alive and
sixty-four are still unaccounted for.
Daybreak revealed the fact that the
collapse of the bridge was not caused
by any failure In the masonry work,
as was first supposed. The piers and
buttresses stand Arm and sound in
the midst of q mass of twisted iron
and steel.
Jesse Lees. who worked on one OF
the big electric cranes, said that a
week ago the steel at the base Of the
arch outside the foremost pier had
buckled slightly, but no one had con-
sidered this as serious menace
since the outer end of the big halt
arch reached 1870 feet in the air and
seemed perfectly rigid.
Although the immediate cause OF
the smash is supposed to have been
the running Of heavily loaded train
out to the end it is evident that this
merely fastened the disaster, since
every hour the weight at the outer end
OF the structure was being increased
as the huge Orders were riveted into
place.
Cause Of Disaster Unknown.
The accident was so terrible in its
effectiveness tn wiping out the lives
Of the men employed that very little is
known as to the cause of the disaster.
The bridge was about a mile and a
half In length and half of it, from the
south shore to midstream, crumpled
up and dropped into the water. More
than ninety men were at work on this
section of the structure and the
whistle had just blown at $50 for the
men to quit work for the day when
there came a grinding sound from the
bridge midstream.
The men turned to see what had
happened, and an instant later made
a rush shoreward, but the distance
was too great for them to cover. The
falling section of the bridge dragged
others after it and the swapping grid
ers and cables doomed like the crash.
ing Of artillery. ....
Terror lent f1eetness to the feet of
the frightened workmen as they sped
shoreward, but only a few of them
reached safety before the last piece Of
iron work on the south shore was
dragged into the river.
