Stiff Breeze at haywood.

A hard wind struck Haywood
Thursday of last week and
careened the porch on the hotel
there. A patient named Fred
Mast, of Ell Paso, who was sit
ting on the veranda at the time.
was removed of on the green
sward but escaped being in
jured. However, Mr.. Mast is
badly afflicted with rheumatism
and the sudden jolt he received
caused him no little pain and
made him realize, pointedly, that
it was no 'hot air" explosion
through which he had passed.
1t is a rare thing for the wind to
play such pranks in this country
but in this instance the damage
done was slight.

Roman Police Today Announce
They Believe They
Have Evidence.
GAMMORISTS KILLED HIM
LAST EVENING AN ALLEGED IN.
FORMER TO THE POLICE WAS
SLAIN BY A SHOT FIRED BY 50.
ciETY MEMBER.

Rome, May 26.-Facts came to light
today in the investigation into the as
sassination of Lieut.. Joseph Petrosino,
the New York detective, which gives
the authorities additional proof that
he was murdered by Camorrists. The
evidence is contained in a telegram
which Petrosino sent to the police
chief of Naples, reading: Have dis
covered Camorra leader Erricona and
will arrest him and send him to you
upon receipt of such instructions" 1t
is now believed that, upon learning
the contents Of the telegram, the
Camorraists slew the detective.
Revenge Themselves.
A man of the name of Lamattis, a
notorious scoundrel. was shot from be-
hind and killed last night near Mon
rale. He was temporarily taken into
custody at the time Detective Petrosi-
no was murdered at Palermo. being
suspected of completely in the crime.
Subsequently he was released be-
cause he gave information to the po-
lice. Because of this his murder is
ascribed to the Mafia's vengeance.
Almost at the same time two peas
ants who were returning to their
homes from work, were shot at Paler-
mo. One of them was killed and the
other wounded seriously. There is no
trace of the murderers in either of
these cases.

Value of Taxable Property in
Richmond Shown by Asses
sors to Be $4,000 Less
Than a Year Ago.
TOWNSHIP ASSESSOR
ExpEc1P INCREASE
There Was a Big laFease
Shown in the~A6m Of
Polls Taken-Many People
Are Tax Dodgers.

The value Of taxable property in
Richmond as obtained by the deputy
assessors this year. is some $4,000 less
than what it was year ago. The
reduction is surprisingly large. An
increase had been confidently expected
by Township Assessor Potter One
of the wealthy citizens has not been
assessed locally owing to his absence
from the city, but 1t is not probable
his personal property will be anywhere
near large enough to make up the def
cit. He is not land owner.
More Polls Listed.
While the amount of property value
was falling off greatly. there was q
big increase in the number of polls
listed. This year there were 264
more polls taken than the year before.
1t is fact that a large number OF vot-
ers in Richmond have been lodging
their poll tax 1t is another fact that
a large number of singlemen. who
have not been listed for tax on per-
sonal property. never have paid any
poll tax. One man 81 years old, con-
fessed to the assessor he never had
been called upon to pay toll tax. An
other young man who has exercised
the privilege of franchise for five
years. said he never had been shown a
tax sheet before this year.
Every advance in the tax rate re-
suits In more attempts to escape taxa

property as specified BY the owner.
With = higher tax to pay, there is a
smaller value placed on the goods. In
this way property holders manage to
make their annual payments about the
same.

crease. A smaller assessment value

Fifty-seven Canine Admirers

A FINE is STIPULATED
TOWNSHIP DECIDED TO GIVE THE
DELINoUENTs SHORT PERIOD
OF GRACE BEFORE BRINGING
LEGAL ACTION.

There are 81 owners of dogs in
Wayne township who. If they do not
pay their tax on their canine friends
within the next five days. will be made
subject to prosecution. The township
trustee has the names of these own
ers and they are listed for dog tax.
They have not paid and at the expira-
ton of the time allowed their names
will be given to the prosecuting at
torney and legal action will begin as
soon as possible.
Days Of Grace.
The five days of grace offered by
the trustee and the notice are not re-
quired by the law. They are given
voluntarily as the trustee does not
care to see anyone prosecuted who is
not aware that the time for the pay
ment of the tax has expired AS soon
as the date fixed by Law arrived, the
trustee could have turned the names
Of the delinquents over to the prose

have followed. The law stipnlates a
fine for failing to pay the tax and this
does not include the tax. The tax
must be paid in addition

Father MCDOmneU's Sermon

Preaching to an assemblage of Papas chill

''The church is into1eran as eve,y man oho kno,os

Is this sound doctrine? We cannot think

to burn the man who is ignorant of the null

When John Henry Newman, the Church
Dillingham; luminary, took the short step that
landed him in the Catholic Church, all Prot
estant Europe regretted his loss; but nobody
cried, ''Kill him!" On the contrary, when
ever a distinguished Catholic quits Papa's
fold and becomes a Protestant, the Catholic
clergy invariably persecute him They would
put him to DEATH if the public opinion of the
world had not progressed, IN spite Of Rome,

Mcdonnell is true to the old fanatical tenets.
He would persecute, he would imprison, he
would torture, he would burn.
Just such sermons as those which he is now
preaching kndled the fires of the Thirty
Years War, infamed the zeal of Torquemada,
and justified the butcheries of the Duke of
Alva. 1t is precisely the same evil spirit that
demonizes the Turk when he massacres

Johnson of the Vest
