Handle $l4,027.

Some idea of the amount of bust.
ness transacted at the office OF Coun.
ty Treasurer Charles Munroe during
the final days of March is obtained
from the fact that a total of $i4,027
was paid in at the Office in taxes on
the last day OF the month and the
sum OF 81, q. on the preceding day.
A long string of taxpayers was lined
up waiting to get 10 the various win
dows in the office almost continually
during the last two days OF the month
and those just preceding were little
different. Those who had not paid
up at midnight on the last day OF the
month will have to pay penalty of
one percent on their entire amount
of taxes for each month or fraction
OF month that they are permitted
to run.

extent of $4,000 and some serious
charges are made against Oscar Will
Jams, Maria Williams and Helen Will
Jams Robinson by ]. II. Hutchison, of
Buxton, in a petition filed with w. 4.
Wilson, clerk of the district court.
He claims $4,000 on conspiracy
charge and $1,000 on the charge that
the defendants fraudulently took mon
cy, goods, chattels and real estate
belonging to him and used his prem
ises for immoral purposes, and $4,000
for the alienation of his wife's aifec-
tions. 1t is stated in the petition that
Mr.. Hutchinson married daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs Williams and sister
of Mrs. Robinson in September, 1913,
and that ever since that time they
have had conspiracy against him.
He alleges that the three conspired to
keep the real condition of his wife's
health from him so that she. might
die before the title TO certain farm
land in Monroe county could be chang
ed from the name of Helen Williams,
who he'd the title in trust to ]. Fl.
Hutchinson, the rightful owner, and in
accordance with the wishes and de-
mands of Hattie NJ. Hutchinson, who

cd that the defendants took money
which was sent by Hutchinson for the
use of his wife, for their own use
and benefits. That when he was alb
sent from the house, Helen Williams
used the premises for the keeping for
sale and the selling of liquor in an
illegal manner and for other immoral
purposes. That the three in con-
spiracy deceptively, fraudulently and
secretly had an operation performed
