MRS. GEORGE D. PERKINS DEAD.
Wife of Late Publisher Docs Not Long
Survive Husband.

Sioux City Aug. 3.-Mrs. George D
Perkins, widow of the late editor and
publisher of the Sioux City Journal
died Saturday after long illness of
complication of diseases, She had
failed rapidly since the death of Mr..
Perkins last February. Three sons and
two daughters survive.
When death came to her husband on
the morning of Feb. 3. Mrs. Perkins
was least prepared for the great shock
and for several weeks she lowered near
death. She rallied from the shock
however. and regained hes vitality by
sheer force of will to live.
But the shock of death and the COM
sequent weakening of her vital forces
combined with the malady she has suf-
fered from, forced her to retire to her
room on July %.
Turnout her life she was affiliated
with the congregational church and
devoted much time and attention to
her own charities. She kept in the
closest touch with the life work and
activities of her husband
Mrs. Perkins was born Sept. Is, 1S49,
in New York City.

"lN BAD" WITH COMMISSION.
Davis County Supervisors Threatened
With Custer Proceedings.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Aug. 3.-The members of the
board of supervisors of Davis county
are Gin; bad" with the members of the
state highway commission because OF
their refusal to operate under the rules
of the commission and custer proceed
ingS will be brought, according to Il
resolution which was passed at the last
meeting Of the commission. Mr.. Beard,
of the commission, has applied to At
torney General Cosson for an investi-
cation of the affairs of the board Of
Davis county.
According to the statements of Mr..
Beard the board began a year ago to
oppose the new road law and has re-
fused to operate under it. Altho a
county engineer has been employed
they have prevented him from doing
his duties as outlined by the law. Over
$4,000 is being held in the road and
bridge fund and no attempt is being
made to use it. The commission has
been flooded with petitions from that
county asking for relief in the road and
bridge situation which is becoming de
plorable. Among other work of the
commission at the same meeting they
took action toward the removal of a
half dozen county engineers who have
failed to perform their duties.

The house was packed to the doors and
the audience listened with devout at
tention to the able discourse. Mr. Fam

of hard work and clear brain, has been
enabled to accomplish much for the
world. He reached his present place
of prominence largely because he was
forced by circumstances to carve out
his own way in the world. All Eldora

There is mysterious stranger at the

attempts to find it's parents have been
futile About 2 o'clock last Friday
! morning when DR.. Agler, of Meservey.
returned from making a call he found a
bundle on his front doorstep. Upon in
vestigation he found it to be Il little
new born babe only Il few hours old
The little one is girl and was not even
dressed but was wrapped warmly in
a sweater. Fred Agler, of BOWS, was
visiting at Meservey at the time the
baby was left there and took it home
with him. Whether they will keep it,
or what disposition will be made of the
baby, is not yet known. No trace of
the mother can be found, as she disap-
peared before the little one was dis
covered at the doctors home.
Spirit Lake.
Leo johnson. who occupies the Roncr
place in section 10, Diamond Lake town :
ship, lost a valuable team in a very
peculiar manner last Friday. Mr.. John
son was driving a four horse team
hitched to a binder in from the field for
dinner He had driven thru the Held
gate, stopped the horses and got off to
close the gate. The horses, for some
unknown reason, became frightened
and started to run. 1t was down grade
and only about one hundred rods to Il
sort of a hardpan- bottomed pot hole
containing about seven feet of water.
The horses did not take the beaten road
but headed directly down the hill, and
and with the hinder upon their heels,
did not get stopped before they We're
in fully six feet of water. One of the
teams was light driving team and the
other was very heavy team. When
,, they got partially stopped, the heavy
team made a turn back for the shore
and in their fighting broke the tongue,
and in the miX-up the light team was
knocked over and drowned. AS soon as
the horses started Mr.. Johnson started
after them, and when he saw where
they were headed, lost no time in get
ting out his knife, and as soon as the
binder stopped he was on it and cut the
lines. The breaking of the tongue by
the heavy team in their effort to turn
was the only thing that saved any one
of the four horses from q watery grave,
and as it was one of the heavy horses
came very near drowning before it got
out. The heavy team in their mad
fight for their lives. dragged the two
drowned animals to the shore with
them. Outside Of the broken tongue,
the binder was not damaged. The
harnesses were torn to tatters. The
team which Mr.. Johnson lost was his
black driving team for which he paid
$3.50 last spring. While he appreciates
the fact that his loss Is no heavier than
it was, it makes 1t doubly hard just at
this. one of the busiest times Of the
year.

Dictated some time ago errors "@re
found in the reports from some coun-
ties. evidently mere clerical errors, but
it is necessary that these ali be cor
rected. 1t was found that in one coun-
ty so far as the record shows. the in
crease of valuat ton ordered last year
was never made, because tho real es-
tate and personal property valuations
reported for 1914 are those OF the re-
ported valuation of 1913 when they
should have been of the adjusted valu-
alton. This was the only serious error
coming to the attention OF the eXecu-
tive council, so the members say.
The county auditors viii this week

the changes in personal property valu-
atoms to effect equalization. They VIII
also receive instructions a., to the
placing of the state tax levy as decided
on ten days ago. the same as for last
year. When all adjustments are made
it will be found that the aggregate OF
taxable values in the state is not very
much larger than last year.
An effort has been made TO cause It
to appear that the governor or other
members of the executive council nave
attacked officials in Van Buren, coun-
ty for alleged failure to conform to the
law last year in the matter of assess
ments and having added by sheer err
ror several millions more to the Valu-
alton than they were entitled to un'
der the law and orders Of TIC board or
review. The reports on valuation come
to the office of auditor Of state and
not to the executive council. and state
officials have not made any statements
whatever in regard to Van Buren,
county. 1t is found. however, that
Van Buren, is one Of the group or
counties where apparent errors OF
computation were made somewhere
along the line causing naturalization OF
the efforts Of the council to secure
equalization. 1t is assumed by state
