WILL NOT ASSESS THE
AIKEN TAX JUST NOW
Auditor Will Wait On High
er Court.
II Mayor Hun Is Sustained, the Men
Found Guilty VIII Pay Nice sum
Into the Treasury.

That the Aiken tax will not be
charged on the duplicate against
those found guilty of selling liquor
contrary to the Rose law provisions
until the cases have been sustained
ty the higher courts, is the decision
reached today by the county auditor
and his deputies.
In the past when convictions have
been secured in the Dwer courts
the auditor has put the Aiken tax
on the duplicate against those parties
and where collection could not be
made the properties were assessed
for the tax. But in each instance
the case was reversed by a higher
court and the attempt to collect the
tax was defeated. When it is de-
monstrated by a higher courts de-
cision that the conviction was pro-
perly secured, then will the auditor
proceed to collect the Aiken tax.
Offenders found guilty at Pros
pect, II the cases are not reversed
in either the common pleas, circuit
or supreme courts, will pay a large
amount of money into the county
treasury. Offenses committed in July
would tnake eadh offender liable
for approximately $3.50. Added to
this there would be the twenty-five
per cent penalty which would bring
the assessment to over $1,000. But
each would then have the privilege
of withdrawal but would have to pay
the minimum amount $500 and some-
thing more than 5000 as penalty,
making in all over s400 which is
separate and apart from the fine as
sessed by the magistrate. Where the
defendants are not able to pay the
amount, the assessment will be levied
against the property where the liquor
was sold and will be collected ac-
cording to recent decisions OF the su-
preme court.

$15O FINE
Mayor Huff Fixes the Sum
For Charles Miller.

Charles Miller, whose trial on n
charge of selling intoxicating liquors
in dry territory, was held in the court
of Mayor HUFF at Prospect Wednesday
afternoon, was found guilty Wednes-
day evening and was given fine of
$3.50 and cots of prosecution. Eymon
and Thompson represented the prose-
cution and l.. e. Myers was on the
defense. A motion for new trial was
overruled. Practically all the defense
made by Miller, those who attended
the trial say, was that the detective
came into his place and simply took
the liquor despite the fact that 1t was
not kept for sale.
No trial Is being held at Prospect
today. That OF William Klehm will
be held Friday afternoon at o'clock.

ing J. A. Williams, of S19 Monroe
street, to throw up his hands, rather
caring highwayman relieved his VIC
tim of $13, a gold watch and q dia-
mond ring valued at $75, in front of
the office of DR.. Young on West
Center street. The hold-up occurred
about q. m.
About an hour before the same
man attempted to hold up Verne
Yoder, n baggageman at the Union
Station, while the latter was passing
the old Leader shop at the corner
of Leader and Center streets. Yoder
broke away. paying no attention TO
his revolver and the command to
throw up his hands. He ran to the
Hotel Nordica where he telephoned
for the police. Diligent search, af-
| ter a description OF the man had been
| secured, failed to locate the highway
| man.
| The police call was responded to
| by Catpain Bond. The captain had
seen a man sitting in the doorway
| Of the building at the corner of Lead
er and Center streets, about half an
hour earlier. The captain was in
/ pam clOtneS at tne tIne. Inc man
in the entrance spoke to him but said
nothing further. From the descrip-
tions furnished by the victim and the
near victim, the captain Is confident
the work was done by the man to
whom he spoke earlier. He wonders
why the fellow did not try to hold
| him up.
The police stopped several men
but did not make an arrest as upon
close examination thy did not fit
the description given. There are SOW
eral clues on which the officers are
working and there are some hopes
that the daring one will be apprehend
ed.
The police say the hold-up man
was rather small sized man, well
dressed, with black suit and aged
sbout 80 years. He wore q derby hat
of rather large pattern.
After he had stopped Williams and
relieved him of his valuables he
pointed the gun at him and gave
him strict orders to march down the
street and look only straight ahead
or receive bullet. When Williams
had gone a short distance. the cul
prlt had disappeared in an alley.

If the papers were filed here and
Judge Young had proper jurisdiction
in the case then nothing that the
Columbus court may do can in any
way effect the C. ID. and NJ, or its
other properties or interfere with the
receivership of George Whysall.
Mr.. Whysall, his legal advisers and
others interested here today express
ed themselves as being confident that
Judge Young is right in his conten-
tion, that the receiver was properly
appointed and Mr.. Whysall states that
he is not worried in the least over
any possible outcome of the Column
bus hearing.
One Of the attorneys for the com.
pany stated today that the stamp
of the clerk of the Marion county
common pleas court was not actually

ney Turner submitted his pleadings

court in the office of the clerk

| office as has been claimed. They
| hold, and the court so holds, that
the filing i'm such case, the more
stamping and dating by the clerk,
| is not necessary. 1t was by agree
ment late Monday night that the court
adjourned until Tuesday morning al
$3.50 o'clock. But instead of appear
ing at the hearing Attorney Turner
for the plaintiff, Mr. Catrow, hurrid-
ly left the city and going by auto
mobile to Columbus, made certain
erasures and substituting the names
of another firm of attorneys, filed
the petition in the Franklin county
common pleas court.
Judge Young has ordered the papers
to be returned by the attorney and
unless they are returned the court will
order Turner brought in to show the
cause why he should not be fined OF
Imprisoned.
1t is confidently expected here thai
Judge Kinkead will order the petition
stricken from the records in tho

TWO VERY SEVERE STORMS
Marion Visited by Rain and
Hail.
Electrical Display In the Early Morn
ing Hours Was the Most Vivid In
Years--Little Damage Done by the
Lightning and Storm.

Perhaps the most severe electri.
ccal storm of the season was that
which occurred here early Thurs
day morning. In the estimation of
many who witnessed the fierce
flashes of lightning the residents
of the city were IN more danger of
being struck than they have been
in the number of storms which have
gone over this section this season
BY reasons of the fact that the storm
appeared to have its center over the
city, IL is stated that Marion people
noticed the terror of the storm more
than usual.
Although there were no serious re-
suits there were very many narrow
escapes related this morning. Very
peculiarly none of the buildings which
were struck burned. At the home
of w. II. Kitzmiller at No. 304 Boule-
ward perhaps the most unusual feat
OF lightning was witnessed. Mr.. and
| Mrs. Kitzmiller were asleep as the
| storm came up and were awakened
| by the thunderings. They arose fol-

the house was evident and they were
anxious to see IL all was right. As
they entered the room the cot on
which the child was sleeping was
afire and clothing along the side OF
the wall near q chimney was also
ablaze. Hastily, the flames. were
smothered and quenched with water
and upon looking into the bed the
child was found asleep. 1t was un-
1 injured in any way and the childhrd
injured in any way and had only been
partially awakened by the disturb
ances. It's calls brought the parents
to the scene. The house was found
to be only slightly damaged.
Aside from striking telephone poles,
n number of which were splintered,
there was little damage. Many trees
were struck and the fire quenched
by the heavy fall of rain. In the
county there were q number OF build
ings struck but none were burned oil
damaged to any amount. John Wit.
eel, a farmer residing about nine
miles south east or this city, had q
very valuable horse struck. Mr.. Wit.
eel places the loss at $500. The
horse was standing under tree In

North of the city there was consid.
erable damage done by the hail. The
corn was in many instances torn by
the heavy downfall of the heayS

cinity report that the hail was very
large.

come back for several days 1t might be men
toned in this connection that the divorce colony
has brought to Reno over 100 motor cars.
The leading hotels always crowded, and
the rents for cottages have appreciated. on the
average, to the extent of so per cent. in the last
six months. In some instances the increase has
been much greater. One cottage that rented for
$50 month in January last, now returns its own
er rental of 500 month.
Perhaps the thing that endears Reno to
the visiting Divorce than anything else is
its proximity to San Francisco. One may board
train in Reno and be in the Pacific coast metrop-
oils in ten hours. Despite its manifold attrac-
tions life in Reno is likely to wear irksome upon
those who have been used to existence in larger
centers, and the visitors to a great extent soon
er or later during their stay. take trip or half
a dozen trips, the Sierras to the city by the
Golden Gate.
Such visits while affording relief from the
monotony of life in Reno. do not impair the resi-
dence qualifications necessary to the obtaining
of divorce To again quote the Nevada divorce
authority already mentioned:
..Under the provisions of Section % of the
Marriage and Divorce act, the plaintiff must re-
side in the state for period of at least six
months This is not construed to that In
order to fully comply with the statute the party
must remain here continuously for said period.
So If a party to Nevada, and, in good faith,
takes up a residence, the party may leave the
state at any time after establishing residence
may go and travel when and wherever the party
chooses. and may return to the state whenever in
clinatlon prompts, and yet such temporary alb
sence would not in any wise affect the legality of
the residence established but the party would be
entitled under the law to bring suit any time
after the lapse of six months from the date resi-
dence was originally established, Notwithstanding
the party's absence from the state during said
period"

of the situation, and yet to learn the lesson that

All in Fight Against tuberculosis.

Prevention of tuberculosis versus
dividends is the proposition which
some of our largest insurance com
panies are now trying to establish.
The Metropolitan Life recently APP
piled for permission to erect sana-
torium for it's policy holders and en-
ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but
the application was refused on grounds
of illegality by New York State Super
intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. The
company is, however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
tributing 100000 pamphlets among
it's policy holders. The Provident
Savings Life Assurance society has
also established a health bureau,
where its policy holders may receive
free medical advice. Several fraternal
orders, notably the Modern Woodmen,
knights of Pythias, Royal League.
Royal Arcanum and Workmen's Cir
Gle, have already established or are
contemplating the erection of sana.
toria for their tuberculous members.
