COLUMBUS
Police Also Say Walsh Had A
Bad Record

How deep-dyed criminal Walter j.
Walsh, who died from wounds re-
ceived at the hands of Thomas Nc
Mahon when entering the Mcmahon
home ostensibly for the purpose of
robbery, was is a pretty matter for
conjecture. The police record of
Walsh, as published in Tuesdays Ban
ner, seems but an indication, incom-
plete and inadequate, of the life of
crime he led.
Detective w. G. Shellenbarger of
Columbus, formerly of this city, was
looking over this published record
Wednesday afternoon, when he sud
denly exclaimed, why, l know that
fellow" He went on to state that
Walsh was masquerading under the
alias, Dayton Red, in Columbus last
March and had held up an automo-
bile, relieved the occupants of their
valuables, then dashed into a saloon
and held up the loiterers in there,
shooting the bartender through the
right shoulder. He made good his
getaway and the Columbus police
force, despite all efforts, have not
been able to locate him since.

DRYING FRUIT

Dwellers in the country who are for
tunate enough to have hot water heat
can dry all fruits and vegetables by
placing them on plates or wire screens
on top of the radiators, writes con
tributor to Good Housekeeping. We
made frame a little longer than the
top of the radiator and tackled quarter
inch poultry wire on it. In such n
frame the fruit dries very quickly and
cleanly. Our apples, pumpkins and
lima beans are excellent.

Inaccurate and Unfair Comment.

We are already paying into the
State treasury the proceeds OF
one mills tax for good roads
which it was contended when the
law was passed, would be ap-
propriated back to the parishes
in proportion to the tax each par,
| ish voted. This paper opposed
the measure at the time it was
submitted to the people in the
shape of an amendment to the
constitution, but a majority OF
the voters thought the law would
give US better roads. so it is part
of our constitution. But we hear
of very few parishes getting any
part of this tax returned. About
the only purpose it serves is to
maintain a board of officials on
good salaries. Homer Guardian
Journal.
The above squib is inaccurate,
in saying that the state tax for
good roads is one mill, whereas
it is only one-fourth of one mill.
| 1t is unfair, in assuming that
very few parishes get any part
i of this tax returned" All of
the parishes that have put them
selves in shape to share in this
tax by voting road tax on them
selves, have received a part OF
| the State tax; and we believe
about one-third of the parishes
in the State have put themselves
in line to share in the State fund.
Here in Grant parish we have
no kick at the State good roads
tax. This parish pays into the
State treasury about $1068 each
year on this tax, and for the past
four years we have received back
from the State something like
So, 600 to SIS, 900 a year, in the
way of help to build our roads,
small matter of $50, 900 or $780,
coo. And the best of it all is,
we have right here in Grant
seventy-fve miles of the finest
model roads in the State, and al
it cost us was $500, 600, raised by
a little parish tax of 5 mills fol
| 5 years. See?
