/. Under the statutes existing in 1903
cities Of the second class were authorised
to levy a tax for the payment of judy
ments not rendered for current expenses.
although the limit for general revenue
40 mill limit for all general city purposes
exclusive Of school taxes was not ex-
ceeded.
2. In addition to levy up to the limit
for general revenue purposes for the year
1908 city Of the second class made a
levy Of one mill to pay judgments. In an
action to enjoin the collection Of the tax
as excessive and illegal 1t was not shown
that the bases Of the judgments in ques-
ton were matters Of current expense, and
In the absence Of such showing the pre-
sumption Of regularity in the acts Of the
taxing officers must prevail and such levy
will be deemed valid.
3. The ordinary statutory limit for gen.
eral revenue purposes might have been
lawfully exceeded by permission obtained
from the state tax commission, or an in
crease could have been authorized by a
vote OF the electors. (Sec. l. ch 7S Laws
OF 1857 The excess was alleged to be un-
authorized excessive and void, but no
proof was offered that such consent or
authority had been received. Had such
consent or authority been received the
records of the state tax commission or
the city clerk would so show, and the
failure to prove a negative-that they did
not so shown the absence Of any allie
cation or assertion by the defendant that
either was had. is held too technical a
basis for judgment against the plain
tiff, unless a claim of such consent or
authority shall be really made by the de-

saddles and brides we're stolen at
Monticello and yesterday two Of the
thieves were caught about twelve
miles north Of Montello and the

POWER OF A GREAT WAVE

The remains Of an excursion
steamer may be seen in a bayfield,
800 feet above the lake of Loen,
in Nor This oddly placed wreck
is the sole relic of a terrible land
slide which t1ok place in 1906,
when the whole side of a mountain
suddenly slipped into the lake,
raising a great wave more than
800 feet high which drowned every
body living along the shores, more
than sixty people perishing. The
steamer which was moored on the
lake at the Tina, was carried on
the crest of the wave over a per-
pendicular cliff and deposited as al
ready stated, more than 800 feet
above the normal level OF the water
more than quarter of a mile away
from its anchorage. 1t is a torn and
battered wreck, every bit of wood
work has been wrenchcd off, and
the twisted steel work testifes to
the force of the wave which cast
it ashore Wide World Magazine.

INDIAN BASKETS
BRING HIGH FIGURE

Part of a collection Of baskets,
the work of the noted Indian weav-
err, Dat-So-La-Lec, owned by Abe
Cohn Of the Emporium, and on ex-
hibition at his place in this city for
a number Of years past was sold
yesterday to G. A. Steiner, Of
Pittsburg, a collector of antiquities
and curiosities. In securing this
collection from Mr.. COhn, Mr..
Steiner has undoubtedly obtained
some Of the finest baskets extant.
The most valued and highest priced
basket in the lot is one known as
the deacon light" and the figures
worked On are commemorative Of
some Indian tradition. 1t is thir-
teen and onc-half inches in height
and forty-nine inches in circumfer-
ence, the oriice being eight and
one-half inches in diameter. 1t con-
tains thirty stitches to the inch and
it is estimated there are eighty
thousand stitches. The colors are a
golden white, a dark brown, and
an ebony black.
Though the price paid for the
buskets by Mr.. Steiner ha, not been
announced it is estimated at So, 900.

MISSING CARSON MAN

Chris Klotz is still missing at
Carson City, according to the News,
and a search is being made for him
by relatives and friends. No trace
whatever has heen found of him
and it is feared that the first that
will be found Of him will be the
finding Of his body. During the
past few days prior to his being
missed he was noticed to be acting
strange. He went 20 a friend who
vas keeping a number of personal
papers in a safe ard drew them all
out and none of these have been
found ia the search of his cabin.
Wednesday night of last week he
complained Of having a headache
and went to his home early.
He evidently occupied the bed
that night but was not seen after
wards.
The missing man is a brother Of
Recorder Klotz of Douglas County,
and the Douglas county relatives
are leading in the search for The
missing nan Chris Klotz owned a
number Of claims in Pine Nut dis
trict and it was thought that he
night have gone to them but inves-
tigation in that section tends to
show that he had not been there
for some time.
A search was made yesterday at
tho Pine Nut mines in hopes that
the missing man had gone there but
without avail as no one had been
at the property for over two weeks.

was given as 500, 1893, 365. of which

There is quite a difference. be-
tween the value of the livestock in
the above item and the assessed
value of personal property in the
state as given in the controllers
report for 1918. Livestock are
personal property and are assessed
as such. The census report above
quoted gives tie valuation Of the
livestock ut Sl9,213,930 while the
controllers report gives the total
assessed value of personal property
in the state as s9,26s,l4l.56, a
difference between the census value
of livestock and the assessed value
of all personal property Of 50, 949,-
1884. AS there is a great deal
of personal property outside Of
livestock in this state, it is plainly
seen that a%,,vast amount of personal
property escaped taxation in 1913,
providing the census figures are
correct.

TO RAISE THE TITANIC

To raise the Titanic, recover the
bodies from its hold and again fit
the ship for ocean service is a
scheme which Charles Smith, an
architect of Denver hopes to carry
out this year. For several months
Mr.. Smith has been drawing plans
IF submarine boats, scows and
other apparatus to be used in rails
ing the Titanic, the Inflated liner
on which 1908 persons persisted.
The scheme Of the Denver man is
first to locate he ship. He then
intends to la yer a submarine
carrying seven persons, by means
of a steel csbl'. The submarine
will be attached to a ship on the
surface and communication is to
he had by means of a telephone
and electric signal bells.
AS the Sub marine is lowered
powerful electrI al magnets will he
attached to its prov. Light steel
cables are to h attached to the
magnets, the ether end of which
will be wounl around steam
winches on the surface.
Magnets i'll ne placed all around
the Titanic, ard when the last one
is in place the submarine will be
pulled to the surface and the work
of raising the vessel begun.
