TWO TERRIBLE IRA
CEDIES THIS
WEEK

sunday morning Mr.. +. ~. Smith.
OF Weta, was run over by the MilwA-
kee passenger at Chamberlain and
killed. The early morning passenger
pulled into Chamberlain, on the north
or switch track, and stopped for the
passengers to slight and then the en-
gine pulled up to the switch and
backed down the main track to the
round house and 1t was on the main
track that the body Of Mr.. Smith was
found. and it Is thought that whom
the train stopped Mr.. Smith alighted
and was walking down the track and
failed to hear the engine as it came
mp back of him. About q month ago
Mr.. Smith and wife went to Winter
set, Iowa, with their son for medical
treatmenL for the latter and he was
just returning to his home ut Weta.
When the body was found there was
no documents of any kind by which
he could be identified and the only
thing found was ticket to Weta. A
description Of the body was telegra-
phed to Station Agent Pease at this
place and he phoned 1t to wota and
the description was recognized 20
Mr.. Smith. and on the Monday noon
train his family started for Chamber
lain. When the trains met at Ka-
doks the grip Mr.. Smith had been
carrying was given to his family ut
this place and the Identification was
complete. The tragedy Ia q terrible

and informed the operator that he
had been shot and to send q doctor
at once. The lady ran down stairs
and informed IN official of the Bank
of Midland who notified . doctor and
then fastened to the depot ARRIVING
but few moments before the injur-
ed man died. Mr.. Hunter died before
he was able to give any information
as to the cause of the shooting. After
firing the shot the freighter run from
the depot and around the corner and
right into the arms OF Deputy Sher-
iff Norman who Immediately lodged
the murderer in jail. The murderer
claims that the depot agent hit him

that he shot In self defense, while
from all reports the disparity In the

WAR STAMPS ON BONDS
GOV. SLATON CALLS ATTENTION
OF OFFICIALS TO NECESSITY.
Receivers and Collectors Must Pay
Uncle Sam $1.OO, and All Other

Receivers and Collectors Must Pay
Uncle Sam $1.OO, and All Other
County Officers Fifty Cents.
Governor Slaton wishes attention
called again to the fact that bonds
made by county officers all require
50-cent war tax stamp now.
AS has been previously stated,
many of the bonds for tax receivers
and collectors have come in without
such stamps, and they are now be-
ing held up in the executive depart
ment pending a ruling from Wash
ington.
Governor Slaton wrote the depart
ment in Washington setting forth the
situation and requesting a ruling as
to whether or not bonds so made
since December LIST should be return
ed for the proper stamps and wheth-
er or not penalty attached for such
failure.
lie SOF6IHOI p6ISOL ally uOluS the
view that state officials are exempt
from payment of the stamp tax on
their bonds, but in order to make alb
solutely sure he hes written for ad
vice along that fine. He expects
reply soon, and the same will be
made public as general information.
All county officers should see that
their bonds filed with the ordinary
bear this so cent stamp tax. 1t APP
plies to county commissioners and,
in fact, all bonded officials.
Tax receivers and collectors make
two sets of bonds, hence must pay
a double tax. One set of bonds are
filed with the comptroller general
and the other with the ordinary.
1t is estimated that more than O.
600 newly elected county officials will
have to pay this new war revenue
tax. AS all bonds must be filed by
January LIST, under the law, the time
is growing short for Strengthening
this question out properly.
