ton of vital Importance just now, with
the awakened interest in orcharding.
Such discussions in Grange hall are
heard by comparatively few, but if the
salient points are presented through the
columns of The Journal they are brought
to the attention of other Oranges and to
the farming community generally. In
this way the good work Of the Grange
can be made more effective. We notice
that one of the speakers at the meeting
of North Waldo Pomona attributed the
early decay of his apples to the cult
waiting of his orchard; but DIR. Twitchell
in letter to the Maine Farmer, quoted
in The Journal at the time, attributed
the poor keeping qualities OF apples
grown in 1908 to the long, dry season.
The columns of The Journal are, and al
ways have been, open for the discussion
of this or any other questions relating to
the farming or industrial interests OF
this city and section.

this city and county who went to

ing the tax assessment, was highly
successful and the list was allowed
to stand with only one per cent. in
crease on farm lands.
The principal arguments were
made by Councilman L. H. Davis for
the city and by Judge c. O. Prowse
for the county, and they succeeded
in convincing the Board that Hop
kinsvile of all cities in the State
should be exempted from a burden
some tax raise.
The Courier Journal gave this re-
port of the hearing given by the
Board Wednesday:
Several counties were passed on
finally by the State Board of Equal
zltion this afternoon, after argu-
ments had been heard in many cases.
The board was so pleased with the
arguments made by the citizens from
Christian county that nhey reduced
the assessments in that county
greatly. Members Of the board said
that the arguments made by the
/ Christian county Representative;
were the best that had been heard
this year. The following action was
taken:

been raised 5 per cent. on lands arc
10 per cent. on town lots, accepted
its assessment. This was made final
Livingston, which had been rails
ed 5 per cent, on both lands anC
town lots, was reduced to a 2 pei
cent. raise.
Caldwell county, which had been
raised 10 per cent. was reduced to ar
8 per cent. raise.
CLARK county, which had beer
raised 5 per cent on land ond tow
lots, was reduced to the original as
sessment.
Christian county, which had beel
raised 10 per cent. on land and towl
lots, was reduced. The raise owe
the assessment as returned by tn
assessor, is now per cent. on land
and none on town lots.
The delegation from this county
was made up of l.. H. Davis and M
H. Carroll for the city and c. o.
Prcwse, John C. Duffy, G. L. Camp
bell and o. H. Anderson for the
county.

home early in the day and changed
his clothes and had left again
The affair occurred in the same
neighborhood in which negro
named Arthur Wilson outraged a
white woman about three months
ago and for which he has been sem

Coleman place near Herndon and
taking him behind him on his horse
rode to where one of the posses was
searching and turned him over to
them.
Brame was taken to Buck" Gee S

attacked, Miss Sallie Mae Gee, and
her sister Miss Ruth Gee.
The medication was positive and
compete by both girls and they
took the negro away with the remark
tn At they would fix him.
Brame was taken to point in the
section known as Flat Lick, near the
county line on the Christian side anc
was hanged to tree about2 2 o'clock
The lyncaing was done in an order
ly and determined manner.
Brame was about II or 18 wears
of age.
When he attacked Miss Gee hel
sister struck at him with an ak. she
had in her hand. He jerked the az
out of ner hand and said 1--we. go

ROBBERS WRECK TRAIN.
Drive Locomotive Against Passenger
Cars After HOld-up.

Spokane, Wash, May 16.-Follow-
ing the hold-up Of a Great Northern
passenger train by six bandits between
Colbert and Mead last night, - per-
sons were injured when the locomo-
tive and the mail car, cut off from the
rest of the train, were run back wild
by the bandits, after they had rifed
the mails of an unknown amount, and
collided with the rest of the train.
The conductor saw the wild cars
coming back at 25 miles an hour, and
he and another trainman placed a tie
OH the track but the cars, though part
ly stopped, plunged into the coaches,
throwing passengers from their seats
and cutting them with broken glass.
a trainman sprang aboard the loco
motive as the collision occurred and
shut off the steam, stopping the havoc.
When the train reached Colbert
late last night, while the crew was
busy with some switching, two men
sprang into the cab and thrusting re-
VOlvers against the breasts Of the en-
gneer and fireman, ordered them to
do as commanded. The engineer and
fireman complied and the mail cars
were cut off from the rest OF the train
by four other robbers. The locomo-
tive and mail car then ran up the
track a few miles. Then the engineer
and his fireman were forced to leave
the cab. Two Of the robbers went to
the door Of the mail car and ordered
it opened. Their command was obey
ed by Benjamin f. Stumpf, mail clerk,
who was hurried away from the cars
with the engineman by a dozen re-
vOlver shots.
Manning the locomotive themselves,
the outlaws took the mail car down
the track and looted the registered
mail. Then they started the locomo-
tive back toward the rest of the train
and escaped.
