1t is believed that the local coun-
tvs hearing will not occupy the en-
tire morning and if this conjecture
proves of good foundation, then the
business session will be started dur
ing the morning, insuring a COM
pletion of all business by the. end
of the afternoon.
The state tax board leaves for
Phoenix on Sunday mornings train
prepared to start its work as the
State Board of Equalization. When
yesterdays session came to a close,
two-thirds of the tax delegates from
the different counties of the state
had been excused upon request, from
further attendance. 1t is practically
matter of custom for visiting
members to leave the conference for
their home duties when their coun-
TVS hearing has been completed and
they express the desire to be per-
mitted to go.
Navajo, Pinal, Santa Cruz and
Yuma counties were yesterday taken
up and disposed of. Navajo county

mad by the records that they have
compiled, as to the reports given in
by the different counties, Pinal Cum

last year, being 25.4 per cen. net
and also better average percentage
in gain on all classes of property.
At Has o'clock a hearing was

CITY HORSES ARE ELEC-
TROCUTED BY WIRE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

NfTOm SATURDAY ) Ddlly.)
That Joe Bowers, the driver did
not suffer similar fate when a
team of splendid city horses he was
driving was electrocuted early yes
terday morning in a peculiar acct
dent, is considered nothing short of
a miracle. Bowers was stunned for
a moment and severely shaken up
but he is today able to be about and
recite the details of a most remark
able accident.
Bowers rounded the corner of
Gurley street into South Pleasant
street, driving city wagon. As he
neared a point in front of the Hoff-
man home, he failed to notice a de-
tached telephone wire hanging
across the street about four feet
from the ground.
The wire had apparently been
blown down by the wind during the
rain of Thursday night and had I'M
til this moment remained without
notice. Bowers was looking straight
ahead and the two horses were NOV
ing steadily along when to his
amazement he saw the black hitched
upon the left side of the team drop
in its tracks.
Simultaneously, the bay mare
commenced to rear and Bowers felt
a quick, sticking sensation flash
over him. Another instant and he
was sprawling upon the ground. Like
flash the presence of the telephone
wire told him the tale. Jumping to
his feet he tried to unhitch the
horses byt the bay frightened by the
queer action of its partner, reared
and plunged in every conceivable
way.
The black horse had apparently
caught the live wire right across
the neck. The horse offered no re-
sistance of any kind, simply dropping
in its tracks instantly. The wire
ran at an angle causing it to be.
about a foot away from the bay
when the black mare dropped. In
the plunging an drearing the bay
finally managed to dislodge itself
from some of the harness. The sue
cess of this effort proved fatal for
once freed, the live wire was en-
countered and death followed in an
instant Bowers tried IN every way
to unhitch the bay but its frightened
condition simply caused it to take
offense afresh every time he tried
After the accident it was learned
that the wire was only charged with
ITO volts, hardly enough to give a
healthy man a tickling sensation.
Horses are known, however, TO be
less able to withstand electric shock
than the human being. 1t is be-
lieved that the telephone wire in
being torn from its moorings, fell
dNlOSS oOiuN NlCNNll( llSll WIZ (duS-
ing a short circuit.
When the black horse was struck
and instantly killed. the voltage, it
is believed, passed up the iron
chains giving the bay just about
sufficient incentive to plunge and
rear as would be required to cause
another blind collision with the
wire. The shock was also relayed
to Bowers through these chains and
connecting harness.
The horses were valued at $500.
One was owned by Police Chief
Frank H. Heisler who was hiring
it out to the city. The telegraph
company is held responsible for the
accident by city officials.

8 3MEN SOUGHT IN
AUTO MYSTERY;
GIRL BEATEN
When Screams Attract PatroImen
She Resists-Gives 8 Names,
Then Denies Them.

The arrest Of three men is expected
Friday in connection with the beat
ing up" Of a young woman in q motor
car at o'clock Friday morning. The
men escaped as a policeman ap-
preached, leaving the young woman
on the sidewalk.
She gave three names to the police,
afterward admitting that none OF
them is correct, and is being held
pending an Investigation.
The police learned, through teie-
phone number given them by the
young woman, the names of the men
who assailed her, which she steadily
had refused to divulge.
The girl and her companions came
from a restaurant and entered the au-
tomobile about o'clock,
Police Hear Screams.
A few seconds later the screams Of
a woman were heard by Police Ser
geant Hewell, two blocks away. He
ran in the direction of the screams,
and, approaching the corner OF the
postoffice at Forsyth and Walton, he
saw a woman standing on the side
walk engaged in a hysterical alter
cation with three men in big black
motor car.
The men heard the policeman run
ming. One Of them jumped from the
car. ran around to the rear, snatched
off the number and climbed in again
lust as the driver started the motor.
with a roar the car started away,
leaving the woman weeping on tho
sidewalk. The sergeant saw that she
was young and pretty. He also no.
ticed that her forehead was bruised
and bleeding as II from a blow.
Resists Policemen.
The Young woman had just in
formed Hewell that her name was
Edna Jones and that she was stop
ping at the Aragon, when two more
policemen. Bullock and Eberhart,
came up.
"oh, dear! Are you going to ar
rest me &! Sne luquAIGo'
Hewell said no; they were Just go
ing to take her to the station. The
difference did not appeal to MISS
Jones and she resisted frantically. In
fact, she bit Bullock on the hand ana
scratch ! Hewen severely.
At the station she decided to oaffle
the inquistion Of justice in revenge
for her arrest. Her idea of the best
way to do this was to give differ
ent name and a new address for her
self to everyone who asked her.
Gave Three Names.
Thus Miss Jones told the station
sergeant that her name was May
wallace and that she lived on South
PRYOR street, after which she assured
Mrs. Bohnefeld, the police maron,
that her name really was Lena Wells
The story of the motor car ad-
venture, as told by Miss Jones' Wal
lace-Wells also was wanting in clari-
ty. It appeared the three young men
were friends of hers. whose names
she did not know, having met them
only a few hours previously.
She was convinced, however, that
they lacked something of being per-
feet gentlemen. The beating indi-
Gated that much, she said.
Put Under Bond.
When the case came before the Re
corder at o'clock Friday morning
Miss Jones' Wallace Wells informed
Judge Broyles that none of those
names was correct
Il can't afford to let my real name
be known, to come out in connection
with an affair like this" she said.
Further investigation was deferred
by reason of the special work the
court had on hand, her case being
continued. She was placed under
$500 bond.
