Drastic Measures taken on the
Tobacco Evil

The school board of Las Animas
has been compelled to take dras-
tic measures on the tobacco evil,
aud last week drafted resolutions
threatening criminal prosecution
to those guilty Of selling the
noxious weed in any form to child
rem under the age Of Is years.
The board declares that over 60
per cent of the boys use tobacco,
and that in consequence their
scholarship is falling far below
what it should be.

He is six feet six inches in his stock

His parents were reared alongside

father of the young man, was keeper
of North river light station, and his
uncle, Fabius Evans Simpson, is now
in charge of the exhibit of the light

He could not furnish a full length

said he could only do it in sections,
and then paste them together, which,
he thought, would give an idea of his
clients towering figure. To do so
the photographer wanted to charge
extra for the second section, and the
picture was not taken.

And if SO, at what psychological

Some few Brocktonites believe that
because the air had been full of
rumors regarding unhappiness in the
Ball home she really did arrange to
have some one come with red auto
mobile and take her children where
they might be cared for
But such reasoning does not satisfy
the majority of those who have
worked on the case The majority
believe that the woman, in horror at
the malady which was slowly creep
ing upon her, took her children to
some lonely spot and killed them,

came not from her own fingers, but
from the tiny hands fighting for their
lives. And who shall say at what in
slant reason was dethroned, or what
act of her own or another swept like
sharp knife through the tottering
brain and left it a blank?
Perhaps Mrs. Ball knows to-day
where the children are, and, with
demoniac cunning. refuses to let the
father claim his own flesh and blood.
Perhaps, if she would, she could lead
the searching parties to the very spot
where the silent forms are buried.

$19344. The claims were rejected and suit was brought in the district court for that county. The county demurred to the complaint and the demurrer was sustained. From that order and ap- peal was taken.
 The papers in the appeal of c. L. Cummings, administrator against M. Rosenberg and others also came up from Cochise This action runs hack into ancient history. In 1881 Antonio Perretti was the owner of a couple of lots in the town of Benson, the lots being a portion of the sand waste which existed in that locality at that time and for many years afterward. In 1885 these lots in some way not described in either the complaint or the answer passed into the possession of Rosenberg who proceeded to make certain improvements upon them and who afterward disposed of them to other parties who were made defend ants in this action.
 Perretti died about the time he se- cured title to the property and no in terest appears to have been taken in the matter until about 1897 when an administrator of his estate appeared and demanded possession. That ad- ministrator. so far as the papers show was lost sight of and last year Cum mings who had been made adminis- tratOr began action for possession of the property and for rents amounting to $20,000.
 The defendants demurred and an swered. They said that for ten years they had enjoyed peaceable and ad- verse possession of the property before any demand had been T;sade upon them and for ten years thereafter; that Rosenberg when he took possession of the lots believed that he had a valid title to them and proceeded with i'm provements which have cost $20,00O. All the time previous to 1897 when the first demand for possession was made, the plaintiff had stood around watch ing these improvements without a pro- test or without informing the defend ant that he was not the owner of the property Since that demand a periad of peaceful and adverse possession ftr ten years more ensued. The demurrer was sustained.

PERSONAL TAX LAW
 SUBJECIfD 10 AT1ACK
Complaint as to Manner of Collection Comes in an Appeal From Cochise.

SHit1idAhA do AO NloHFCl VI SONNSNAiOfA
 Comes in an Appeal From Cochise.
 An appeal involving more interest than money was filed in the office of the clerk of the supreme court yester- day. It is Apparently intended to test the law providing for the summary collection of taxes on personal proper ty The appellant is the Gibson Ab- stract company of Tombstone repre- senting fifteen assignors. similarly sit uated and the appellee is the county of Cochise. The law provides that when one does not own real estate or suf- ficient real estate to cover the amount of his taxes on his personal property, She assessor and tax collector may proceed at any time after assessment to collect the taxes.
 In this case some of the assignors owned no real estate and none of them owned enough to cover the amount of the taxes on their personal property Demand was made upon them for pay ment and a protest was made against payment until the regular tax paying time for the year came around and the rate for that year had been establish ed. The assessor offered to take the bond of the assignors for the payment but the offer was refused and payment was made under protest
 The tax collected was calculated ac- cording to the rate for the preceding year, $265 on each $100 for territorial and county purposes. Later. at the meeting of the board of supervisors on the third Monday in August, the rate for the year for which the protestants had paid their taxes was fixed at $2 on each S100 of valuation, so that they had paid on a higher rate by sixty-five cents on each $10O Of valuation than other tax payers of that county were required to pay.
 The plaintiffs accordingly contended that they had been taxed unlawfully according to a rate that was not in existence at the time of the collection of the tax, a rate that had not been fixed and accordingly an illegal rate. Claims were made against the county for the return of all the taxes which had been paid in by the abstract com pany and the assignors, amounting to
