South Orange Resident Thought Chester

]. r. McGrath, a prominent New York
newspaper man, living in

role Of Sherlock Holmes last night
for about half an hour, and prob
ably still thinks that he caught two burg
lars, owing to the failure of the police

no other than Chester and Joseph Steve,
aged II and Is years respectively, of Ter
rell and South Fourth street, nephews Of

The W youths were hunting rabbits be-
hin the houses in Richmond avenue,

The two suspects were hurried on
their way to the police station. The police
were told when they reached Garfield
place that the boys were all right and

police box and informed Desk Sergeant
Sherry that the two suspects We're
nephews of Roundsman Steve, and Sherry

RAILROADS STILL FIGHT TAXES
Seek Signatures in Clarks Against
Terminal Taxation Bill.

Terminal Taxation Bill.
CLARKS. Neb., March 2-(Special.)-
A petition emanating from railroad circles
is being passed around today, requesting
Merrick county's representative in the
legislature TO oppose the terminal taxation
bill. The petition reads:
The undersigned voters and taxpayers
of Merrick county, believing that the bill
now pending in the legislature to change
the present method of assessing railroad
property and giving authority to local
assessors to assess, said bill being known
as the terminal taxation BILL would lessen
the amount of taxes to be paid this county
by the railroad companies; would respect
fully request you to vote against such
measure"
The circulators Of the petition advance
the argument that the law will operate
to the detriment of the local school fund
Many are signing the paper in imaginary
defense Of the schools, who doubtless are
in favor of collecting a just tax from
railroad depot and terminal properties
heretofore escaping taxation. To offset
the effect of this petition, it is known
that letters are being addressed to Mer-
rick county representatives in the house
and senate at Lincoln urging them to
stand by their pledge and support the bill.

pot the same was burned up and de-
