cahontas Consolidated Golfers to
have a Transcript made of the re-
cord of the case of that company
against the Commonwealth of Vir-
ginia and Morton Marye, State Au-
ditor, in which the company claimed
SIS, 1864. which. it alleges, is ex-
cesSive taxation.
This suit has been pending for
months, and June Both, Judge Scott
after an exhaustive hearing in the
CITY circuit Court. decided that the
company had no claim.
1t is a record of this hearing that
the company now wants. in order to
take the case to the Virginia Su-
preme Court of Appeals.
The case, briefly. is like this:
The company, months ago. filed a
mortgage deed of 100000 600 upon
its property. part of which is in Vir-
Slnla and part in West Virginia. in
the Circuit Court of TaZewen county
lies.
The clerk of the court charged q
$4,000 tax upon the deed-one-tenth
OF l per cent, which is required by
law.
The company paid the tax under
protest and then made its claim in
court.
1t contends that two-thirds of the
property mortgaged lies in West Vir-
ginia, and that this portion is exempt
from taxation in this State.
Therefore, il sued to recover two
thirds OF the amount paid to the
TaZewell court.

BOYS GET AUTO RIDE;
WALK FIFTY MILES HOME

NEW YORK, SpeciaI.-Tired out
and suffering from hunger, three lit
tie Queens Borough lads turned up
at their homes last night while the
police and searching parties were out
hunting for them. The youngsters
told a remarkable story. They had
been given a ride in an automobile
the previous day, they said, and had
been deserted fifty miles from home
and compelled to walk back. The au-
tomobilist laughed at them as he left
them in lonely spot.
The boys are John, ten years, and
Francis, eight, sons of Jacob Gum
precht, a wealthy builder at Brown
Avenue and Cumberland Street, ia
maica, and William, twelve. son of
Henry j. Colson, 81 Norris Avenue,
Jamaica.
Sunday morning the three bows
stood admiring a red touring car in
Fulton Street. The driver, whom they
described as a tall, dark man, came
out of cigar store and asked them
II they would like ride. The boys
eagerly clambered into the tonneau.
Their ride lasted for more than two
hours through the country roads OF
Long Island. and the lads felt they
were having the best time of theiI
lives. Then the automobilist pulled up
and said: You'd better get out here
BOYS; you're only a little way from
home"
They got out and the automobiles
looked back and laughed heartily as
he drove away.
When the lads asked a passerbv
where they were they found they were
at Central Park, L. l., fifty miles from
Jamaica. They had not a cent among
them. They inquired the way. and SET
out to trudge back home. At night
they slept in a barn. The only food
they had in their thirty hours tram
was little milk they begged from a
farmers wife.
Their absence Sunday night made
their parents so anxious that the DO
lice were requested to send out a gen
eral alarm, and search parties were
out in the vicinity OF Jamaica all YES
terday.

RAIN NOT BAD FOR HEALTH.

IL is not rain or cold weather that is
directly harmful and liable to cause
illness. Even wet clothes or wet feet
are OF very little Importance if you are
walking all the time to keep warm and
are careful to change whenever you
come indoors.
Or course, it is fatal to sit about in
wet things, and the business girl who
