Lovelock tribune. (Lovelock, Nev.) 1898-1912, 1911-01-24

Orhe funeral of the late Alexan-
der Borland, of Lovelock,was held
yesterday afternoon at o'clock,
says the Reno Journal of last Satur-
day.
Rev. Brewster Adams, pastor
OF the Baptist church, who is also
chaplin of the lodge opened the ser
vice with few remarks and in con-
lusion recited the following poem.
Judge not, the working of his brain
And of his l..art thou cans't not
see;
What looks to thy dim eyes a stain,
In Gods pure light may only be
A scar brought from some well-won
field.
Where thou would'st only faint and
yield.
The look, the air, that frets thy
sight
May be a token that below,
The soul has closed in deadly fight
With some internai, fiery foe,
Whose glance would scorch thy smil
ing grace.
And cast thee shuddering on thy
face.
The fall thou darest to dispise-
May be an angels slackened hand.
Has suffered it., that he may rise
And take firmer, surer stand;
Or, trusting less to earthly things,
May henceforth learn to use his
wings.
And judge none lost; but wait and
see,
With hopeful pity, not disdain;
The depth of the abyss may be
The measure of the height of pain
And love and glory that may raise
This soul to God in after days!
This was followed by the regular
Masonic service, with Mr.. Durley, tn
the master of the lodge presiding.

SAYS THAT HIGH TAX RATE

The following Is taken from a re-
cont report of the State publicity
and Industrial commission:
Que OF tho greatest drawbacks to
the prosperity of the State at the
present time, and one that has held
the state In its remorseless grip ev-
or since 1t was state, Is the high
tax rate that keeps the investment
of capital. away.
The persistent undsrvaluations of
property by assessors results In a
tar s:ste -tksst sev vr1s almost appalling 6
to capitalists OF other states where
such inflated rates are unknown. l
Is useless to explain to these peO-
pie that the assessors undervalue tn
property for lay says in the plain
est terms that all property must be
Much OF the fault In the revenue
system lies at the door of politics.
Assessors or members of boards of
Equalization, who carry out the law
as they find 1t on the statue books
are marked for slaughter by the pow
ers which control county politics an
when the time comes for the people
to endorse faithful servants, they, as
a rule vote on strict party lines, whi

ence for the man they want. irres-
The scramble to avoid taxation ON
the part of nearly every one gives
Nevada a black eye a broad
which It does not deserve and which
results In a constant increase in
the tax rate, which Ia now sufficient
ly large to frighten away any out
side capital seeking Investment.
The only possible solution of this
trouble ia to segregate the state tax
from the county. under the Ore
gon system. which has proven 30
successful. or the Maine system,
which allows every taxpayer to as
sess his own property.
In Maine the taxpayer ia supposed
to assess his own property at the fig
ure he would part with It In actual
cash. The tax roll IL published and
each mans assessment is known. II
A puts in his property at $4,000
and his neighbor desires to purchase

II A desires to save his property
he has to bid 1t up, and the amount
he has to advance to hold the prop

penalty he pays for attempting to
dodge his taxes. The result is that
the remedy for taxdodging is

the fact that the tax rate is 30 low

STILL HUNTING MURDERER.
Slayer Of Snowman Family Sought
by Many Armed Men.

Ellsworth, Kas., Oct. 19.-Never
since the day when cattle thieves in
tested this Western Kansas country
has there been seen such man hunt
as was waged here to-day for the
murderer of the Snowman family,
slain last Sunday, but the slayer is
still at large.
Sheriffs and citizens, in motor
cars, men in carriages and on horse
back, all heavily armed, searched this
region throughout the day.
From New Kirk, Okla, tonight
came message that a man answer
ing the description of Charles MARI
yek, who is being sought in connec-
ton with the murders, was being de-
tanned. The man was apprehended
by the sheriff who had a telegraphic
description of Marzyek. Local off,
GERS tonight forwarded a photograph
of Marzyek to New Kirk, to be used
in identifying the suspect.
Sheriff Bradshaw and a force OF
deputies spent the day near Genezeo,
20 miles south of here, searching for
a man who is said to fit the descrip-
ton of one who left some bloody
clothes at the Baker Hotel here on
the night of the murder. The sher-
IFS search was fruitless.

Lyncvhing May be Investigated.

Anderson, Oct. 22.-As result OF
a conference between the solicitor of
this circuit and the coroner of An
derson county, the inquest over the
body of William Jackson, the negro
who was lynched on October 10 for
an assault on a 10-year-old daugh-
ter of a leading citizen of Honea
Path, probably will be reopened this
week. The negro was twice identi-
fed by the girl before he was lynched
but great pressure has been brought
to bear on the officials by the local
ministerial union and the press OF
the State. The original verdict OF
the coroner's jury was that the ne
gro came to his death by gunshot
wounds received from unknown per-
sons. and it is generally believed the
reopening of the case will fail to
bring out any material evidence
against perosns composing the mob.

SUIT INVOLVING DOGS HEAD.
Greenville Man Demands $4,000
Damages of Southern Express Co.

damages OF SOuCQern HApTcSS W.
GreenviIle, Oct. 21.-Praying
judgment in the sum of $4,000, sum
mons and complaint in an action
against the Southern Express Com
pany was filed this morning in the
Office of the clerk of court Of Green
vile county, by Attorney Wilton H.
Earle, for Mr.>W. w. Miller, of this
city. The complaint alleges that the
defendant corporation, through negli-
gence, carelessness, wilfulness and
wantonness, failed to deliver to DR..
F. A. Coward, director Of laboratory
of the State board of health, the head
of a dog, supposed to have had hy-
drophobia, which bit two children OF
the plaintiff. The head was sent to
the director for examination for hy-
drophobia, so the plaintiff would
know whether or not his children
were in danger from the bite of the
animal.
The plaintiff alleges that the dogs
head was not delivered to DR.. Coward
until two days after it should have
been delivered, and that when the d.
rector received the head it was so de-
composed that examination vas i'm
possible, entailing upon the plaintin
heavy expenses for medicines, nurs-
ing and care, which sums would not
have been expended had the exam
ination of the dogs head been made,
for it was learned after the danger
period for hydrophobia had passed
that the dog was not infected. The
case is one of the most unusual ever
brought in the courts of this county,
and promises to be of considerable
interest when brought to trial.

Killed by Auto at Rock Hill.

Rock Hill, Oct. 21.-An automo-
bile collision occurred here last night,
in which r. c. Hendricks was killed,
Miss Lemmond, a trained nurse, had
her collarbone broken, and Chief Of
Police Partlow had his wrist badly
sprained.
The accident occurred on the Sa-
luda road within the incorporate lin
it's. Mr.. Roddey Reid, with Chief
Partlow and Misses Lemmond and
Owens, were in Mr.. Reid's car return
ing to the city from a ride out the
Saluda road. Hendricks, who was a
hackman, was taking to her home
an old colored woman with big
basketful of dishes, and had reached
point on the Saluda road just out
side of the settled portion of the city,
when the crash came.
The coroner's verdict to-day at the
inquest over the body of R. c. Hen
bricks, who was killed last night in
a collision, WAS that "R. c. Hendricks
came to his death from injuries re-
ceived in collision between his
hack and an automobile driven by
Roddey Reid"
The whole thing was done so
quickly that the occupants of the au-
tomobile did not know that the man
had been hurt until he was brought
into the hospital.
The substance of the report given
by Chief of Police Partlow was that
the gas lights on their machine had
been exhausted just hundred or two
yards from the scene of the accident,
and the hack showed no light. When
they gathered themselves up from the
smash they found Miss Lemmond,
the lady who was injured, lying in
sensible. At this moment negro
man and woman came up and asked
if they could be of any assistance.
The party, naturally, thought them
to have been the occupants Of the
hack and uninjured, and requested
that they go for doctor. The man
started to do SO. Then Mr.. Reid
found that his machine would work
and they put the injured lady in the
auto and rushed her to the hospital.
Later they were shocked to find that
a white man had been driving the
hack and was seriously injured. 1t
seems to have been one of those un-
fortunate accidents brought about by
unfortunate circumstances.
Mr.. Reid and all his party are dis
tressed and they, with the dead mans
widow, have the greatest sympathy
of the community.
