MIR. TAX PAYER
 A FEW WORDS
February 18th. 1914.


 regarding the Election for Bond Issue in our District: First, all low me to say that for the up- building of any community it is necessary that there shall be ed ucational institutions well equip ped and up-to-date. also that the tax paying public are in duty bound to provide the same.
 Looking back only a few months, we find the District in commotion and very much wrought up over the Issue of Bonds for our present school house and site which have done so much for the improvement and upbuilding of the town and it can not be denied.
 Many know the strife and op- position existing at that time. Now. let us look back and see. remembering it was sad the amount was too great, being five thousand dollars, it would work great hardship on the populace of the community. Now. let us see regarding the funds that have been assessed againt us for the dedemption of same: the bonds were issued in 1909 for one thou sand dollars each, interest paya- ble annually at rate of 6 per cent per annum and one bond made payable every three years, since which time Bond number one has been retired. The interest on the full amount has been met to date. And now we find in the county treasury to the credit of this fund, two thousand five hun dred and foEty-eight dollars. sufficient tospaY the interest for two years, and to redeem Bond Number Two and Three. which. however, are not yet due. leav- ing the indebtedness practically only two thousand dollars and until July 1st, 1924. or ten years to raise the balance; and we now find ourselves without school room, although we have good building and grounds worth at least the original value, and who of us have felt the strain.
 For your information let us look at the figures taken from last years tax roll, 1913. It was necessary to raise in compliance with the law governing bond is- sues of this kind. approximately S575. co to cover interest and suf- ficient of the principal. We find a valuation in the district of two million three hundred fifty-one thousand, four hundred forty three dollars and fifty-two cents on which to raise the above. But, owing to the uncertainty of certain of the valuations it was deemed best to raise the levy ap- portionately, and the tax assess ed was eleven hundred ffty-five dollars and twenty-one cents. over twice the amount required, and on a levy of five cents on each one hundred dollars of val uation. We also find that of the above tax the following amounts were paid by the Santa Fe Pa cific Railway company. eight hundred eighty-five dollars and eighty-six cents, or over two thirds of the whole amount.

EXCITING CHASE WINDS
 UP AT HOLBROOK

Trailed by Deputy Sheriff Joe Young from Ash Fork to Hol- brook, George King, who is wanted for horse stealing here, was finally captured. The story of the chase, coupled with the past adventurous history of the prisoner, reads like a dime novel.
 In December of 1912 King stole a team of horses in Navajo county and fled with hIs booty to g scheduled spot in the moun- tains, close to a branch steam of the Colorado river. There he fingered safe from pursuit for a number of weeks. Finally Sheriff Joe Woods got wind of his location and with a posse started out in an auto.
 King saw them coming and doubled up on the officers reach ing the empty machine just as one of the officers spied him in the act of jumping in and trying to make getaway. He pleaded guilty to the charge of horse stealing and was sentenced to a term of not less than one year nor more than five years.
 The prisoner was an ideal one in prison and from his year was cut off considerable time because of good behavior. No sooner was King released, however, than he went back to his old haunts and traits.
 Just what transpired during the two months since his release from Florence is open to conjec% ture. But the police believe they have line on his performances. In fact the stealing of the au- tomobie at Phoenix is laid to bis door. King is an expert driver. He showed up here at just about the same time the machine dis appeared. Local officials main tain that he IS the same man.
 A week ago Tuesday King ap- peared at the livery establish ment of John Summers in this city. He declared that he had rented ranch near Willow Creek and that he needed four horses with which to farm his new domain. Summers was inn pressed by the smooth tongue of the stranger. coupled with the possibilities of striking a good business bargain.
 King not only got four horses, but received $2O in cash as a loan with which to go to William son valley and purchase hay for the horses.
 En route, whether intentional or not. King managed to lose his way. He was next heard of at Puntenney. There he told a stableman that he had to meet a man in Ash Fork and requested that his four horses be taken  care of during his absence.
 At Ash Fork, King wrote to Summers asking that he meet him in Puntenney on Monday. Immediately after he mailed the epistle. King purchased a ticket for Flagstaff. Later he returned to the ticket window and chang ed his ticket for one to Winslow.
 Deputy Sheriff Young started out upon the fugutive's trail inn mediately after Summers receiv- ed his letter. He trailed him through Puntenney and to Ash Fork. He learned of the pur- chase of the ticket to Wlnslow and followed on the next train.
 At Winslow he trailed the fu- gitive to a ranch where King had stopped prior to his commitment to Florence. There he learned that King had paid a brief visit and gone on hls way. It was that King had no in- tention of being seen in Wins low.
 The officer followed his trail to
