 AND IS BADLY INJURED
(Ffom Thuvsday's Daily.)

The horns of the animal penetrated his chest, inflicting severe wound while his face and hands were also badly cut up. The wound in the chest is the most dan4etous, the force of the blow causing one of the ribs to be showed inward and questioning him considerable pain. He is confined to his bed and il will be several days before he will be able to resume his business duties.
 The animal was considered one of the most docilc on the place. and Mir. Doughcrty was attacked while making the rounds of his premises The bull was sold to local butcher and will go on the block.

recognized rule that the repeal of a statute releases all liens thereby created unless such liens are ex- pressly or impliedly preserved, it is feared that the late "lamcnted" Legislature has rendered it impossi- blc 10 collect any taxes from any mining company even though they may have filed reports under the Bullion Tax. until the Legislature shall have enacted new law for that purpose.
 It is contcnde q by the mining companies that the attempt of the State Tax Commission to assess mines al one hundred per cent of their gross output, allowing nothing for expenses of production. wages of men. transportation. supervision or other expenses, in addition to a separate assessment against the ma chinery and buildings is an unjust and unfair discrimination against a particular class of property. and while it is thought that some of the companies operating in Arizona will consent to the assessment of their property in accordance with the Bullion Tax returns which have already been made. it is feared that many will not do SO. and that others will resist the payment of any tax on the theory that their property is not subject to taxation , and it is certain that any attemp, tc levy against mining companies an assessment at one hundred per cent of the gross output of the mines in addition to a separate assessment on buildings. machinery and other prop. erty used in order to secure the gross output. will meet with a vigor- ous protest from the mine owners and may result in serious and pro. longed litigation. which means that Iavapai and other mining counties will have practically bankrupt county treasurics until this question is finally adjudicatcd in the courts or remedied by the next session of the Lcgislature.-if there ever is an other.

LiPE.TERMER GONE
 ... PROM HAPPY HOME

PHOENIX. Ariz,. Aug. S.--An- other life termcr has gone from the asylum for the unfortunate sit uated near Florence. He is Jose Martinez who was supposed to be serving a life sentence. In view of the brevi,y of his term 1t was thought that he would not imperil his certain freedom later by cs- caping. or trying to escape. and he was therefore set at outside work, assisting in the excavation for q sewer. There was long line oi the convicts at work with guard at each end Bob Anderson, a Gila county murderer was guarding the end in which Martinez was To- cated.
 The murderer slipped into some nearby bushes and was seen no more. That is, he was not recog- nized as an escaped convict. He might have been seen by dozens but as he was wearing such clothes as civilian wears in order that he might not feel humliated. he could not of course have been recognized as a convict
 Martinez once tried to break out of the institution in the good old saxs ,.,da. .,,,.x.t. ,.... ..,,,J ,,,;,t, guns but he stopped before he got far.
 The crime for which Martinez was sentenced was peculiarly brutal one. Hc murdered. another Mexican for bottle of whiskey. re- moved his entrails. filled the ab- dominal cavity with stones and threw the body into the Gila which at that time happened to have some water in it. Some weeks later the body was found.
 Associated with the escape of this life termcr. arrivals from Southern Arizona yesterday stated that it was reported that Governor Hunt had liberated two Yuma Indians from the pcnitentiary to take the trail Of Martinez, under the express agreement made that if capture was effected through their efforts, and Martinez was returned. both were to be internationally pardoned im- mediately afterward. This announce ment had occasioncd very much dis cussion and the move was openly and generally condemned.
