fired By George. Reece, a proimine'hls
real estate man, Just as Co.'S ah'l
three Others were leaving his resi-.
dance by way OF 4 pantry window 'At'a
an unsuccessful attempt at robbery.
The identity OF the other three was
not learned, they making good ta mel
escape. From the stuff found on TIT. the
body OF the dead burglar It IS pre-
suned that he had committed another
burglary with his comrades earlier IN
the night. John Coss Is said to have
been the right name Of the victm'
but he was known all along tie ONO
side under the other two Names He
came OF. one OF the Oldest families
along the river front, but had been a
wild character. lie nas been In the
penltentary four times. serving all
told it is said, something like thirty
years. He was single and a man OF
So or So years.
At about n quarter Of twelve Mr..
Reece was awakened BY hearing a
noise down stairs. Ho went to the
window OF his home on North Fourth
street and saw two men, beneath It.
He opened fire vita his reoylver and
the mea ran, he sending two shots
after them. AS he fired two other
men emerged from the pantry window.
Another shot was sent down and the
third man ran after his fleeing com.
rades. A shot from the revolver
again reached Its mark on the fourth
man. The bullet went In above the
right eye as he looked upward from
the pantry window. He clntched Wild
" and then tumbled out. and down.
Tho window Is nbout eight feet from
the ground and he lay still on tho
walk between the Reese and the John
Henderson homes. The man sho!
was "Possum" Coss.
V Booty on Body.
Mr.. Henderson telephoned Immedl'
ately for tao police. Officer Kelley
responding, stumbled upon the body
OF Coss as no made his way between
the two houses. Life was extinct and
death must mao been instantaneous,
Coroner Ddven ordered the body
taken to tho W. L. Noble morgue,
there he examined 1t. Seven watches
were on the corpse. one watch-chala
and two new 1ver.Johnson revolvers,
ope loaded with rim cartridges and
10th bearing the price tags. It Is be.
lieyed lie Quartet had visited some
store earlier in the night. but up to
an early hour tnis morning no trace
~ where the other burglary had been
committed had been FOUND.
From every Indication the men hal

QUITS TILL THURSDAY.
Senate Is Not Looking for Early Re
port on Tariff Bill.

Washington, July 26.-After adopt
ing a concurrent resolution empower
ing the president to transmit to the
governors of the various states copies
of the resolution heretofore adopted
by congress, authorizing an amend
ment to the constitution relative to the
levying of an income tax, the senate
today at 12:45 o'clock adjourned until
next Thursday. The pOstponement of
the next meeting for a long period was
generally construed as indicating the
possibility of delay in receiving the re-
port of the tariff bill from the confer
ence committee.
There was some objection to the
resolution regarding the income tax
provision. Senator Bailey held the
view that as the adoption of the
original resolution had been the work
of congress alone the transmission
should be performed by officials of
congress and not by the executive
branch of the government. Senator
Sutherland said the president should
have nothing to do with the matter at
any stage of the proceedings. Mr.
Depew took the position that it had
been the custom in the past for the
secretary of state to transmit such no
tees and he argued that to adopt a
resolution of Instruction would be a
reflection on that official.
Senators Brown and Beverage,
Lodge and Burrows quoted authorities
that the resolution of instruction
was along lines which had been fol-
lowed in the past and ultimately it
was adopted without division.

WHERE THE CASH GOES.
County Will Need 100000 for Ex-
penses Next Year.

A report of the expenses of Shawnee
county for the fiscal year ending June
80. 1909, and his estimate of the amount
needed for the following year as a basis
for the tax levy was filed by Auditor
Larimer with the county commission
ers this morning.
The total expenditures for the yea,,
have been $117, 281.O3 an increase of
SlO'47425 over last year. The auditor
suggests that an item of 1861. 81 DO de-
Quoted from the total leaving at SiO9,-
629.42. This item is for permanent
public highways which are made from
a special tax levy.
In regard to the tax levy basis for the
ensuing year the auditor recommends:
The county has some sources of reve-
nue. other than from taxation and bas-
ing my opinion upon that fact that to-
gether with the expenses of the fiscal
year just closed, being an increase Of
$10,474.25 over 1908, my predecessor. Mr..
r. H. Cav, having recommended S92, 900
for 1909. I recommend levy which will
raise 100000 for 1910. This is an in
crease of $4,000 over 1909 while the in
crease in expenses are $10,474. %. The
county expenses are nearly So 900 per
month or $4,000 per annum"
