tNational News Association


INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 6.-Overcome
by excitement of having Judge Ander-
son to take the gum out of his mouth
Murray Pennell, indicted ironworker
from Illinois, on the witness stand in
his own defense, swallowed the stuff
and SO informed the court.
District Attorney Miller attempted
to connect Pennell on cross examina-
ton with the blowing up of the two
non union jobs of McClintic. Marshall
company at Springfield. March s,
1911. One explosion wrecked a coal tip
pie, and one a traction viaduct. Pen
nell admitted meeting defendant Hook
ins, alleged paymaster of the dyna-
mite gang at Springfield previous to
the two explosions, but could not say
just where he met him or what their
conversation was. Pennell admitted
writing Mcnamara urging that some
thing be done about the McClintic.
Marshall company's work, which later
was dynamited.
There is nothing in the correspond
ence referring directly to the use of
force or explosives. Pennell admitted
writing Mcnamara before the dyna-
hitting. "the weather is warm and fine
here now, but am expecting some bad
weather here soon. Let me know so
can be prepared"
March 1, 1911, eight days before the
explosion Pennell admitted writing to
Mcnamara saying, well, Mac, what
do you know by this time. There ought
to be something doing, for the weather
is fine and the work is going on"

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, Dec. g.
1t is believed here that the drys will

recently handed down in the Franklin

township wet.
1t was learned that the drys at first
attempted to fight the decision, but
later decided to abandon the fight.
Sentiment on the question here is pret-
ty generally divided and it is said
that another election to demonstrate
the township wet will precipitate one
of the most bitter contests ever waged
at the polls of Jackson township.

WILL INVESTIGATE
C,& 0, IMP PROVEMENTS
State Tax Commissioners
Filed a Report with the
County Officials.
DECIDE SOON
County Assessor Mathews
Will Inspect c. & O. i'm
provements at Boston.

After several hours discussion the
two state tax commissioners, Daniel
Link and E. H. Wolcott, who were in
this city yesterday made a report on
the assessment of the C. & o. property
in Boston township. The meeting was
held in the county assessors office
and did not adjourn until late yester
day afternoon.
The report made to County Assess
or, William Mathews, says that the i'm
provements on the water system in
the C. & o. yards in Boston township
should be assessed at $4,000 The real
estate was assessed at $500 and the
personal property at s2,575.
The report in part reads:
''The hotel should be assessed to the
lessees of the ground, Fitzgerald and
company. The contents of the same
should be assessed to Fitzgerald and
company in March 1913, the hotel not
having been furnished on March l.
1912.
''All the rails, ties, etc, in yards at
Boston and not included in the 26-10O
of mile assessed by the state auditor
should be assessed as personal prop
erty by the local assessor of Boston
township.
''The state auditor on advice of the
state board of tax commissioners as.
sessed the improvements of the water
system at $4,000"
Mathews to Investigate.
County Assessor Mathews stated to-
day that he would make a personal in
vestigation in the attempt to ascertain
whether the rails had been laid for
more than 26-100 of a mile on the first
of March of this year. In case the
rails were merely thrown on the
ground at the time the township can
assess only on the value of the steel
rails. Attorney Starr admitted that
sixty tons of steel rails had been
thrown on the ground, but contended
that the tracks for the Yards bad not
been completed. viii Porterfield,
Boston township trustee, alleged that
the tracks had been constructed by
March / and had been in use.
In case the assessor decides that the
tracks had been laid, he will assess the
company at the rate of $4,000 per mile.
Assessor Mathews will also assess
the hotel property, which assessment
must be paid by Fitzgerald and COM
pany of Richmond, Va, the lessees.
The rate of assessment in Boston
township is $3.50.
Trustee Porterfeld, in his conten-
ton, which he placed before the tax
commissioners declared that he had
been informed by the contractor for
the construction of the water system
that he received $2S,0O0 for the work.
Porterfield stated that according to
this estimate the water system should
be assessed at higher figure than $5,-
600. Starr declared that the contractor
had given Porterfield the wrong esti-
mate.

ing to man the lifeboats, had been
swept overheard. This was denied at
the office of the Booth line by local

Daylight encounter. He vainly circled
about among the hill roads, and in
the afternoon took the steep grade
over the divide of the second range

after passing the foot of the descent,
he heard the hoof beats of cantering
horse. It was from ahead and coming
toward him. What II ii were Dede?
He turned Bob around and started TO
return at a walk. The canter came
. nearer, but he faced straight ahead
until he heard the horse behind check
to a walk. Then he glanced over his
shoulder. II was Dede. The recogni
ton was quick, and, with her, accom-
panied by surprise. What more
natural thing than that, partly turn
ing his horse. he should wait till she
caught up with him; and that, when
abreast, they should continue abreast

Greetings had been exchanged; here
they were side by side and going in
