ASKS A NEW ADJUDICATION
OF CORPORATION VALUATION

Denver, Sept. 1o.-County Attorney
Barnett OF Ouray county, raised Pc
culiar question before the fall meeting
of the board of equalization yesterday.
railroad should be divided among the
counties upon the basis of the mileage
in each county as compared to the
total mileage.
In previous years the state board of
equalization has allowed each county
the valuation on its railroad that was
placed on the particular mileage in
that county. AS example:
On the D. & r. G. the line from Den
yer to Pueblo is valued at $4,000 a
mile and the counties are allowed a
valuation Of that amount on that road.
Over in Ouray county the D. & R. G.
is valued at $4,000 a mile. Over there
1t Is narrow gauge line and the traf-
fic Is light. Barnett's contention Is
that under the mileage valuation in
Ourary county should be Just as high
per mile as the mileage valuation in
Denver county and Pueblo county. He
holds that the law does not contem-
plate that each mile shall be valued
separately according to LOCAL condi-
tions but that the total road shall be
valued and that valuation distributed
according to mileage.
There are members on the board
who feel that his contention is right
or rather that his version Of the law
but that the law Is wrong. The board
has always valued the railroads the
other way and will do 80 until ordered
to change by the court. Barnett will
be given a further hearing tomorrow
and states that II he loses he will
carry the matter to the courts. Should
his manner Of valuing the corporate
property prevail 1t would reduce the
valuation of the D. & R. G. broad
gauge almost $4,000 a mile and would
reduce the amount of taxes collected
in the braod gauge counties immensely
and increase the amount collected in
the narrow gauge counties.
Yesterday was the first day for the
fall meeting of the board. This meeting
Is given over to the hearing Of COM
plants from counties and corporations
A number of counties appeared be-
fore the board and complained ON the
valuation placed on corporate proper
ty in their counties. The county COM
missioners Of Prowers county MAIN
tained that the board valued the Ar
kansas valley roaod as a side track
when 1t should have been valued az
. Santa Fe main line. Ten miles are
In dispute. Mesa county through its
county commissioners protested again
Ut the reduction in the valuation of
the Rio Grande Western from $4,000
to $4,000 a mile.

Neera Murdered.

John Braud, a young negro, was
shot and instantly killed last Sunday
morning by another negro named Joe,
alias "Son" Nettles, in a rear room
of the Tea and Pea Exchange in
Churchville, opposite the Texas and
Pacific freight depot. It is said that
on Saturday Braud administered a
severe beating to a negress known as
ssPoudoo," with whom Nettles has
been living, and that the woman re-
ported the matter to her paramount.
The following morning Nettles went
in search OF Braud, and finding him
at the place above mentioned, called
him into one of the back rooms, say
ing he wanted to have talk with him.
A quarrel ensued and Nettles drew his
revolver and fired five shots at Brand
il rapid succession, three of the bull
let's taking effect in the heart,
another in the head and the third in
the left shoulder. After the tragedy
Nettles calmly reloaded his weapon,
and, bidding defiance to those who
had been attracted to the scene by the
shooting, walked out of the place and
made his escape, disappearing into
the woods back of Peytavin planta-
ton. He has not yet been appre-
hended, but the authorities of adjacent
parishes have been notified of the kill
ing and furnished with description
of the fugitive, and Sheriff ST. Martin
expects to land Nettles behind the bars
in the course of short while.

Baseball Bulletin.

The game at Cleveland Park Sunday
between the Jefferson College team and
the Pelicans came to an abrupt ending
after three and a-half innings had been
played by reason of an unfortunate, and
what seemed at the time a serious acct
dent to Centerfelder Joe Variant OF the
birds, who was struck on the head
near the left temple with pitched ball
while at bat in the first inning and
rendered unconscious. The young
player was carried to the bench and
soon resuscitated by Drs. P. T. Thfb-
odaux and j. D. Hanson, and, as he
seemed to be all right, another fielder
was substituted and play resumed con-
tinuing until the middle of the third
inning, when Variant was attacked
with commissions. The physicians or
dered him TO be taken home imme-
diately, stating that his seizure with
commissions so long after his apparent
recovery from the blow seemed TO in
dictate that the injury might be more
serious than was at first supposed, and
that they could not say without further
examination just what effects might
ensue. The young man was conveyed
to his home in Chetimaches street,
where he was attended by Drs. t. T.
Thibodaux and E. K. Sims, who pro-
nounced him out of danger at 8 O'Clock
Sunday night.
After Variant had been removed
from the field, it was decided that if
the spectators approved the game
would be called and the receipts
turned over to the injured player.
When this announcement was made,
the crowd displayed its hearty APP
prevail by an outburst of applause,
and the plan was carried out with the
score standing 4-3 in favor of the col
lege boys, who had made all their runs
in the first half of the third inning.
Young Variant is rapidly recover
ing from the effects of his injury and
in few days will be as clipper as
ever.
The Pelicans will tackle their old
rivals, the Napoleonvilles, tomorrow,
and there is likely to be some excite
ment worth seeing. Business begins
at $3.50 O'Clock and you'd better be
there on time.
Coach Hayes has been drilling those
members of the squad who find the time
and inclination to do little practic-
ing during the week, and is favorably
impressed with the material he has in
hand. Hayes is a stickler for tenn
work and believes that team play
ing together In perfect accord and un-
Outstanding will win larger number
of games than . bunch of individual
stars. That's the kind of a team he's
trying 20 give Donaldsonyille and we
believe he'll succeed if the boys don t
shirk. If they do, and then suddenly
discover they have neglected an OPP
portuBity TO assist IN making win
ming team, they can blame no one but
themselves and will have to accept as
their just portion the dose always
handed out to players who fail to make
good owing to lack of work,
