FOUND TO MURDER
At SANTIAGO MILL

There is an old and true saying
that murder will out and perhaps
the finding Of a roll Of bedding
near the Santiago mill a few days
ago by the Ambrose brothers. will
throw some light on the murder of
the man at the Santiago mill in
1912 whose body was found buried
in on old arastra in a burned mill
by ". H. Johnson wno was pro-
specting in that section on the 22nd
of January, 1912, saysl the Carson
News.
1t will he remembered that a
hunt was made for a clew which
would lead to the apprehension of
the murderer, but he had covered
his tracks we'll and nothing was
learned and the crime was almost
forgotten.
A few days ago the Ambrose
brothers were doing some work
near the Santiago when one of them
happened to run upon a roll of bed
ding hidden in an old pipe, The
bedding show we'd signs of being hid
den for q number of months. 1t
was pulled out of the pipe and with
it came a shovel. The roll was
united and found to contain a quilt,
towel, shirt, rope, cap, four pair
of new socks, carpenters rule,
spool of thread and needles, full
a of tobaccn and full package of
matches. There was also a copy of
an American Examiner, the date
line of which had been torn off.
1t is believed that the roll Of
bedding was undoubtedly the prop
erty Of the murdered man and was
hidden in the old smokest:ck by
the murderer after the crime had
been committed.

The MlKESELl FAMILY

Round Mountain citizens arc in
dighant over the reports circulated
by the Maxwell family that arrived
here in an apparently destitute
condition. Maxwell said he had re-
ceived only $3.50 from a Round
Mountain collection when he was
given $50 and sent on bis way re-
joiciDg. The party was allowed
the use of the town Jail and went
away leaving all kinds Of good
warm clothing contributed by the
generous people of the camp. The
real name of tho family is Mikesell
and it is presumed that they are
professional tramps working public
sympathy as their graft. That
they are old timers at the business
is shown by the fact that they we're
dressed in rags and that the chill
dren's feet we're sticking outssof
their shoes. The clothing donated
by Round Mountain people includ-
ed all kind of good garments, un-
der and heavy o~vercoats.-

tiary. Owing to his disposition it
became necessary to put him in ball
and chain. Being Of a contrary
disp ;sition, unlike others, he re-
fused to pick up the ball and carry
it when obliged to move from one
place to another. AS q result. he
suffered a dislocation of the nip,
which he carried for years and I'M
til his death. Although badly
crippled. he lost none Of his fight
ing p~roclivities, but was obliged to
cease his acronatic methods and to
rely upon a cane, which latter
weapon he welded with great dex-
terity, as has been evidenced by
many broken or badly bruised
heads. In manner, until aroused,
Jack was very mild. Like many Of
the other early timers on the Com
stock Jack had a fund of tales
which were always worth listening
to. He bad spent several of his
after years in the Douglas county
poor house. Although SO years old
at the time of his death until with

a very active man and rarely a day
passed that he was not seen CT the

THE TAX RATE

The commissioners have fixed the
county tax rate at 76 cents on the
500 valuation, divided among the
various funds as follows:
General county S .35
Contingent .O4
INDECENT .O9
County school 20
High school .O8
Courthouse and Jail .Ol
Total S .76
The state tax rate this yea is
60 cents on the $500 which makes
a total of sl.36 on all property in
the county for state and county
purposes, a reduction of S.64 ON
the 500 from the rate Of last year.
In addition to the state and coun-
ty rate the following special rates
were levied. ,
Elko town government SLl.OO
Elko school district bond
and interest 20

ton of $.53 from last years rate
not counting the ten per cent
raise by the state tax commission
or q reduction of 500 counting
that raise.
The rate is based on a valuation
of s23, 900 in the county. AS
