number Of Mora county taxpayers. The

restrain the assessor from turning oy-
er the rolls to the treasurer. but the
court held that no remedy by injunc-
tion existed.
The three assessors of this district
have ordered printed notices which
will be mailed to each taxpayer as
soon as the work Of collecting 1918
taxes begins. The taxpayers are to
be notified that a penalty will attach
20 days after the mailing Of the no.
tice. unless the taxes have been paid
within the time. This notice is based
on the advice of the district attorney,
who has told the treasurers to pay no
attention to the various letters by the
travelling auditor dealing with the col
lection Of taxes. The last gratuitous
communication from the auditor advis-
ed the treasurers of the state to at

were ready. The district attorney has
informed the treasurers OF this dis.
trlct that the travelling auditor is moi

the courts will sustain his view, that
as it was no fault Of the taxpayers
that the collection Of taxes could moi
begin at the time fixed BY law, they
are entitled to reasonable notice be

RESTED LAST TUESDAY AND
TRIED AT ONCE

Los Angeles, Dec. 27-John Bostick,
the confessed train bandit, today was
sentenced to be hanged at San Quen-
tin for the murder of Horace e. Mon
tague, the passenger agent who was
slain by Bostick when the latter held
up a Southern Pacific express train
at Elmonte December /.
Bostick was taken berore Judge
Gavin Craig in the criminal depart
ment of the superior court shortly
before noon today and before I2
O'Clock struck he was back in the
county prison, a condemned man, pre-
pairing to leave for san Quentin to-
night to meet death on The gallows
within 80 days.
The entire proceedings, from the
time the bandit was arraigned in a
township justice court, until he pass
ed out of the superior court condemn
ed, occupied just 2 hours and Is min
utes.
When he came into court the youth
full bandit and slayer was hardly able
to talk audibly, and Judge Craig ad-
monished him to speak louder. In a
whisper Bostick waived all rights ac-
corded prisoners as 70 attorneys, de
lays and methods of procedure, and
then, in answer to the question "Are
you guilty or not guilty?" he answered
Guilty" and sentence was immedi-
ately pronounced, Judge Craig saying
that the offense charged-the murder
Of Montague, who appeared in Pull
man coach while Bostick was robbing
the passengers-was an offense that
merited no less than oeath on the
gallows. Bostick bowed his head and
was led back to jail.

record time. He was captured Tues
day in San Francisco, brought here
Christmas day, confessed to Sheriff
Hammel on the way, and today he

sheriff's conference was simply a ruse
to find out whether he was alone and
