peared distinctly suspicious after most
OF the usual ratio OF taxes had been
paid that these voters should have
decided that they would change theirl
minds and pay the taxes which, al-j
though assessed in due order. had not
been paid until quite recently. ThcI
law allows that these taxes may bel
paid, but the question now under adj
visement with the attorney general isj
whether they were paid tn the proper
officer. The Wise county payments tnI
this case came through the treasurer
of the county. whereas the audfter'sI

The auditor got In correspondence

The large number OF additional vot-I

Another rather unusual feature OF.

BILLET KILLS MAN
AS HE SAWS WOOD
Workman Meets Death in Un-
usual Manner at Lunn-
Der Plant.

James Spratt, twenty years old, Of
Sixth and Grove streets. Jersey City,
was killed late yesterday at the plant
of the Trexler Lumber Company, on
the Kearny meadows, when a billet
of wood four feet long passed through
his neck, severing his jugular vein.
Death ensued a short time later.
Spratt was at work on a saving
machine when he met with the acci-
dent.
The fatality occurred just before
closing time. With another man,
Spratt was operating the saw when
the billet suddenly flew from the ma
terial which was being cut. Spratt
never had chance to move his head
and the huge splinter went through
his neck.
Fellow employees picked up Spratt,
who was unconscious. 1t is said the
Offices of at least thirty physicians
were called before DR.. Marcus, of
Jersey City, was finally located. The
physician pronounced Spratt dead on
his arrival at the plant He could
not have rendered any aid, he said,
had he arrived sooner. as the work
of the billet was deadly.
Motorcycle Policeman James Col
Inns, of Kearny, was sent to the place.
He communicated the facts Of the
killing to headquarters and the body
was later removed to the Harrison
morgue. DR.. Henry Alters, of Harri-
son, who is deputy county physician,
viewed the body last night and grant
ed a burial permit.
