Capt. NeviIIs to be
Sued for Taxes.

A dispatch to the San Francisco
Chronicle, dated Sacramento, June 27,
says: State Controller, A. B. Nye
gave instructions to-day to attorney
general U. S. Webb to bring suit at
once against Rawhide and App Gold
Mining companies in Tuolumne county
to recover $12, 500 in taxes which have
been delinquent for the past several
years. The mines are among the
valuable properties controlled by
Captain W. A. Nevills, one of the
most prominent mining men in the
state.
1.-THE usual procedure is to have the
county tax collector sell the property
to the state for delinquent taxes, but
controller Nye believes that by suing
he will save considerable trouble and
expense. "-TuoIunme Indepe ndent.

Instruction in Honesty

A few years ago there was a shift
less colored boy named Ransom Blake,
who, after being caught in number
of petty delinquencies, was at last
sentenced to a short term in the peni-
tentiary, where he was sent to learn
a trade. On the day of his return
home he met friendly white acquain-
tance who asked:
well what did they put you at in
the prison, Ranse?"
'Dey started in to make an honest
boy out n me, sab. "
"That's good, Ranse, and ! hope
they succeeded. "
"They did, sab.

The left arm, from just above the

Gently when they tried to take out the
hose cart to extinguish fire, the
axles were bestuck with dry axle
grease that the wheels would not turn,
requiring the strength Of four men
to do what two should have easily
done. This was due to the fact that
six or seven years ago some one tried
to "steal" the hose cart by buying it
in for delinquent taxes, and when the
people redeemed their property they
locked up the house and the doors had
never since been opened. 1t is no
wonder that the hose cart got no
grease. To much precaution is some
times worse than not enough.

One of the most destructive fires
that has taken place in this locality
in long time broke out on the
premises of the Angels Iron Works
about 9 80 O. clock last Saturday even
ing and in a very short time, the
building wherein were stored the
foundry's patterns, was reduced to
ashes. The fire caught on the roof of
the building, but from just what
source it loriginated is not known.
The supposition is, however, that it
started from a spark from the foundry
cupola, which smouldered for long
time until the evening breeze famed
it into a blaze. The Altaville hose
company responded quickly and hose
cart was speedily hauled up from this
town, but as the building and its con-
tents were as dry as tinder and famed
like matches all efforts to subdue the
fire were of no avail The only thing
left to be done was to prevent the
flames from spreading to the surround
ing buildings and this was effectually
done. The destroyed building contained
the accumulation of patterns for pro-
badly twenty years past, and the loss
to the foundry can hardly be esti-
mated in dollars and cents as many
of them cannot be replaced or dupE-
Gated. The loss will probably sum close
on to $1OO, 900. Angels Record.

the ROlK ROAD LAW UPHELD
KANSAS SUPREME COURT SAVE
1T 10 CONSTITUTIONAL.
Il Was Attacked on Ground That II
Delegated Legislative Powers to
County Commissioners.

Topeka, Kansas.-The Hodges Rock
Road law, passed by the Kansas Leg.
l~slature in 1903, has been declared
constitutional by the Kansas supreme
court.
The chief contention of III. A. Hill,
who protested against the lcvying OF
the tax to build the road, was that the
law granted legislative power to the
petitioners for the road. The court
held this contention was lot sound.
Hill owned land in the district
through which the proposed rock road
from Olathc toward Kansas City was
% run. lie brought injunction pro-
ceedings to prevent the letting OF the
contract for building the road. a tenn
porary injunction was granted, but on
the final hearing the temporary in.
junction was dissolved, and the county
allowed to go ahead with the work.
But Hill appealed 10 the supreme
court and tied up tho proceedings
again.
The court held that the legislature
had the right to delegate discretionary
legislative powers to local boards for
local government. The courts said that
the county commissioners had ample
authority to TX the location Of the
road and its boundaries and the lines
Of the taxing district to pay for the
road and 20 levy a tax OF ~one.fOurth
of the cost of the road, to be spread
as a general tax over the entire town
