TAXES CHANGED
BY COURT ONLY.

OLYMPIA. Aug. 16.-Even where the
auditor by mistake, extends a 5-mill
school levy to 10 mills on the rolls, the
county commissioners have 10 right
nor authority under the law to abate
the erroneous part of the tax, but the
matter must be Strengthened out in
the courts. Such was the opinion rem
dered by the assistant attorney gener-
al to the county authorities of Chelan
county.
This is under a settled line of deci-
sions by the state attorney that once
the tax is extended on the rolls after
the board of equalization adjourns, no
power other than the courts may
change the tax, and that the county
treasurer is responsible On his bond.
In this same opinion the attorney
general says correction of the
Northern. Pacific tax, where a mile
too much of track was taxed can not
be made.

ASSASSINS IN A SECOND ATTEMP

Macon, Ga, June 27.-S. H. Dyche,
father of Arthur Dyche, who was mys-
teriously murdered in Macon last week
came to Macon yesterday from Monroe
county, and while at work IN the vicin-
ity of the recent crime trying TO unrav-
ell the mystery, he was shot through
the right palm by an unknown person.
The shooting occurred about dark last
night, and some time afterwards the
aged man went to the city hospital to
his wound dressed. He could not tell
from which direction the shot came,
but feels sure that an attempt was made
to take his life.
His son, Arthur Dyche, was killed
by hanging in the Pleasant Hill neigh
borhood and the father was working
there in an effort to find clue. 1t is
believed that he was ambushed. but
a second shot was not fired. Local
police and county officers are now more
than ever puzzled over the double mys-
terry.
There has been little progress made
toward landing the criminals.

JUSTICE WHEELS STILL TURNING

The Paschal treatment was admins

Thus far this week there have been
nearly thirty convictions and sentences
in cases tried.
Allen Floyd's little pistol will cause

John II. Reddlck ratified the bones in

Alex Glaze was convicted of larceny
from the house, but his dose has not
yet been poured out.
Eli Dancer is going to dance with
the zebra brigade and cut the buck for
ten months unless he can shaye about
$50 out of his jeans.
Eli is a barber, and got there by
tools of torture.
Tonne Green got straight shot of
ten months out in the country with
the road gang. Larceny from the
house was his slippance.
John Everett got gay and shot his
pistol in the public road. He will
muzzle his gun for the shovel, or else
shell out so plunks.
Bob Gamer, an old offender, and
meyer gamer by courthouse expert

Gamers last offense was carrying a
gun in the folds of his toga. His dose
was straight shot of year with the

John Ross held deuces in a poker
game and bet on it. Such ignorance
cost John 1850, or eight months out
where spades are trumps.
Tom Brown was put on the spit for
cheating and swindling. Sentence
has not yet been imposed.
Ed Clark is a scrapper from taw, and
his otfense, assault and battery, costs
him $780, or the Paschal treatment for

Judge Crisp is still busy, and the
