COUNTY BOARD
HAS ADJOURNED
SUPERVISORS COMPLETE WORK
OF eouALlzING ASSESSMENTS
IN SESSION 3 WEEKS.

The board of supervisors ADJOURNED
Friday after a three weeks session
during which time the assessment
rolls for both land and personal prop
erty were revised.
A large number of changes We're
made, especially in the land roll, and
most of these we're in the nature of in
creases in valuation.
The greatest increase in the total OF
the realty assessment will come from
the raises in the valuation of timber
lands. The board adopted a rule
whereby all unimproved land was put
at the uniform value of $3.50 an
acre and the timber was assessed sep
arateIy. On virgin timber they put
the stumpage at 1000 feet and
price of $3.50 a thousand, making the
timber valuation on tirst-class land
s24. so an acre, plus $3.50 for the land
or $27 an acre for this class of tim
Der lands.
All other timber lands, rated as sec
ond-class. were counted as having
G 900 feet of timber to the acre valued
at So thousand equal to SIS an acre
plus $3.50 or $2O5O valuation on each
acre of second-class land.
In making the increase in the valu-
alton of timber lands, the board was
influenced by the very high price at
which timber lands have been sold in
the past year or two, it not being un
common for such lands to bring $50 ar
acre and in some cases even more.
Several days will elapse before thu
work of making extensions and foot
ing them will be completed and unit
, then the net result of the board
/ changes will be unknown.

is regarded as certain that the object
of the visit Engineer John Maher
to the Jail was for the purpose of iden-

conclusion lacks confirmation as the

of their findings or ITO state the pur-

continue to re-affirm their declala-

say they have very strong proof OF
this which will be forthcoming when

Washington, Aug. 23-Developments
in the Mexican situation are moving
swiftly toward the point where it will
be determined whether the President
will read his special message to Con
gress Tuesday. Advices from Mexico
City saying that Huerta might wish to
reconsider his rejection of American
proposals before Wilson revealed the
negotiations to the world changed the
situation and now Wilson's plans are
contingent upon moves of the next few
hours.
1t is indicated that Mexico would
delay proceedings and for this reason
the published report in Mexico City
that Huerta would send an unofficial
envoy to confer with President Wilson
is accredited here. Whether this will
meet the approval of the United States
is not known.
The administration received strong
intimations last night that Huerta
might reconsider his rejection of the
United States oyertures and new
basis for negotiations may be arraign-
ed. Official Washington has learned
j that the Huerta administration faces
financial cricis. Should Huerta de-
eide to enter new basis of discus
sion the president will likely not read
his message on the Mexican situation
to Congress Tuesday as intended.
The President Friday made no effort
to prevent the House adjourning until
Tuesday. 1t had been supposed he
would read his message Monday. II
is believed now that the administra'
ton has given Huerta until Tuesday
to make up his mind as to what he
will do.
1t is positively reiterated that the
United States will insist on the resig
nation of Huerta if negotiations ar'
continued and also his elimination il

and Barney Lewis held up and robbed
the Mobile G. Ohio train near Corinth,

Enis' confession, which district at

firm nor deny exists when the con-
tents were suggested to him as ne
was leaving the city this afternoon, is
in substance as follows:
"A few months after the M. & o. rob-
berry Barney Lewis went to Jerry Enis'
home in Alabama and invited and in
duced him to go with him on another
train robbing expedition; that they
left there for Mississippi and after
several days of preliminary planning
they got on train No. at PurVis, and
when a short distance out they covered
the engineer and fireman with pistols
and after the train was brought to
standstil made them walk back to
the express car where demand was
made on the messenger to open the
door, and that when he refused the
enuineer was commanded to have him
open with threat that the car would
be blown up; that when the door was
thrown open, one messenger and the
flagman ran back into the coach anC
while he (Enis) held his gun on th'
engineer and fireman Lewis got int
the car and continued to use explosives

buried the money at place in Missl
