rNsTRUcTS COLLECTORS
 OF INTERNAL REVENUE Commissioner Osborn Directs Them Reqardinq "Tax Freer Bonds

Commissioner W. H. Oborn. has sent the following to collectors of internal revenue:
 Frequent inquiries are made to this office relative to the payment of -cou- pons from so-called tax free bonds.
 Hereafter, such inquiries will be referred to collectors for reply, and in order that such replies may be uni- form you are advised that the stipu- lation in bonds whereby a tax which may be assessed against them, or the income therefrom is guaranteed, is a contract wholly between the corpora ton and the bondholders, and in so far as the income tax law applies, the government will not ;differentiate be- tween coupons from bonds of this character and those from bonds car rying no such guaranty.
 The issuance of bonds containing a tax free or no deduction clause is not prohibited by any provision of the federal income tax law. However. Paragraph B. Section 2, of the act of October 3. 1913, provides: ~
 Nothing in this. section shall be
 construed to release a taxable ..
 person from liability for income
 tax, nor shall any contract entered
 into after this act takes effect be
 valid in regard to any federal in
 come tax imposed upon a person
 liable to such payment.
 Ihererore, such clause will not release a taxable person from liability for income tax on income derived from such bonds, and the debtor. corpora- tion, or its duly authorized agent, in paving coupons from such bonds, will De held responsible for the normal tax que t1n such cases. when no tax is Wlthheid and no exemption claimed.

TWO HUNTERS MADE
 ASSAULT ON AMOS CONGDoN
Bert R.. Clark and Elmer J. Carter Bound Over to Superior Court.

Bert R. Clark ofAHamburg and El- mer J. Garter of Black Hall were m the criminal superior court in New London Wednesday, morning charg- = ed with assault with intent to Kill Amos Congdon, an aged resident nf Lyme by hitting him with a hatchet Monday afternoon. Clark and Car ter, who are about 25 years of age, were presented in court on bench warrant issued by Judge Shumway at the request of State Attorney Hull.
 It is alleged that Clark and Car ter were. hunting on Congdon's land in Lyme Monday afternoon and when Congdon heard the shot he immedi- ately made a search for the trespass- CTS. He came upon the young men on land owned by William E. Cauik- ins and when he accused them of hay ing been hunting on. his land they assaulted him. i-A %sr a--' p
 Carter, it is alleged, struck CongdCn on the cheek bone and bridge of the nose with a hatchet which he was carrying to cut out squirrels, inf1tcting severe cuts on the face. One of Cong don's sons who was working with his father when the shots were first heard, grabbed the gun from the hands of Carter and started to run and it is charged that Clark fired his gun at him but did not hit him.
 In the melee, Carter and Clark both left their guns behind them one of the weapons having been broken by hitting against a tree while being ] wielded as club, it is alleged. The weapons were seized by Congdon and | they went to New London, bringing | the guns, and entered complaint with | States Attorney Hull. Neither Cong l don nor his son, however, knew the names nor could give description oi | the young men who assaulted them- he. fa a' af fho ir charge of Deputy Sheriff Manuel J | Martin, who with Constable lame: l Drudy started for Lyme in an auto l mobile. The only clues the officers had were the two guns and a cap los l by one of the men in their flight
 Deputy Sheriff Martin searched tut
 vicinity where the assault is supposed to have taken place and by mucl questioning finally succeeded in locat | ing @ man who recognized one of tn, guns as belonging to Carter. Deput. Sheriff Martin conveyed to the maI the idea that he was seeking the own CT of the weapon to restore it to him the man being unaware of the assault
 Sheriff Martin and Constable Drud. went to the homes of the young mel where they were found, charged then
 with the assault and placed them un
 der arrest Later the young niel
 were released in the custody of al officer for appearance in court.
