ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
A Centervi|Ie Young Man Met
With, Accident While
Out Hunting.
A TWIG CATCHES TRIGGER
palladium Specially

Centerville. Ind. Jan. S.-Henry
Woods, son of Ernest Woods. was the
victim of a peculiar accident while
hunting yesterday afternoon. He was
trying to scare a rabbit from it's hid
Ing place and was engaged in poking
the butt end of his gun into the hole
when the trigger caught on a twig and
discharged the contents of the wea-
pom into the young mans side, tear
ing away the flesh and muscle and
producing an ugly wound
Young Woods was instantly remoy-
ed to his home where medical as
sistance was rendered him. Accord
Ing to the attending physician the
wound is not particularly serious I'M
less complications develop. How
ever, there is a proba bility that blood
poisoning may result from injuries of
this nature and every precaution will
be taken to prevent such an occur
ence. The young man suffers inten-
sely. the wound being exceedingly
painful. There have been fewer hunt
Ing accidents than usual in this vi
cfnity this year and that Woods is
one of the first to be recorded.

John F. Robbins, to Settle the
Question, Tells Lowe to
File Two Claims Which Gov
er the Contentious.
COUNTY AUDITOR is
WAITING ON COURT
He Has Refused to Issue a
Warrant for the Commits
sion Demanded by Lowe
Until a Decision Is Made.

With reference to the claims of W.
E. Lowe, tax adjustor, for fees he AYERS
are due him under his contract with
the county, John F. Robbins, county
attorney. today advised the commits
sioners as to the proper action to pur.
sue. The county attorney suggested
to Lowe that he file two claims, one
for his fees on taxes collected for the
county, state and township; the other
for fees on taxes collected by the
county for the city. The first claim
could be allowed without question. the
county attorney held, while the latter
the one involving the taxes due the
city of Richmond. was questionable
In the event, however, that the com
missioners should allow this claim for
fees on city taxes, the courts could
pass on the validity of the question in
volved II the auditor should decline to
write a warrant for the fees.
One, and possibly two. mandamus
suits will be instituted by Mr.. Lowe
to compel the issuance of warrants, in
order that he may receive his commits.
sion. The county auditor, owing to
the uncertainty Of whether the tax in.
quisitor can collect a commission on
the portion of taxes paid in, which are
due the city, has refused to issue a
warrant. He wishes the courts ap.
prevail before issuance Of warrant
which would permit Mr.. Lowe to col
lect his commission.
Second Quite Similar.
The nature of the second probable
suit is somewhat similar. The trus-
tees of the various townships Of the
county claim that the county COM
missioners have no authority to con-
tract for the collection Of omitted
tax which is due the townships and
have served notice on the county audi.
tor not to allow Mr.. Lowe any com.
mission on the paid-in sequestered
tax, as result of the inquisitor's eff.
forts. Attorneys who have been con.
suited, cannot see where the trus-
tees have authority to serve such no
tees and don't look upon the trus'
tees claims as probable. Mr.. Coe
when asked about this particular point
this morning, stated his course was
undetermined, as he would have to
consult with attorneys. 1t seems
probable that the trustees will with
draw their notices, thus permitting
Mr.. Coe to issue the warrant.
Mr.. Robbins in his advice to the
commissioners today. said that the
county's power to employ a tax fer.
ret on a commission basis, and not
to allow a commission on the city s
share of such taxes paid in, had not
been determined by court decision
since the new law went into effect
His opinion was, however, that the
commissioners had the right.

case of William F. Charters, former
tax ferret for this county, against the

Study was city attorney and who was
opposed to the city paying a commits
sion for sequestered taxes paid into
the treasury, as result of the ferret's
investigation. Mr.. Study will not be
associated with Mr.. Gardner in the
city's behalf.
The city refused to allow the fer
ret's claim and Mr. Charters, through
his attorney, John L. Rupe. brought
suit against the city. 1t was after
wards venued to Randolph circuit
court and then brought back to this
court. 1t is averred in the complaint
by Mr.. Charters, that he discovered Sc
