FUND OF AUTO TAX
MADE by COMMISSIONERS

The automobile tax question was
threshed out yesterday by the coun-
Nv commissioners and County At
torney Bischoff. The letter OF Attor-
ney General Brewster to the county
attorney explaining the uses OF the
county road money was read and
Thoroughly discussed. The commits
sioners decided that after this the
automobile tax money, the county
road fund and the county bridge
fund would be maintained in separ-
ate and individual funds.
The automobile owners have been
complaining that their money paid
for licenses was not being spent
where 1t should be and in the way
1t should be. A separate fund OF the
money paid in for licenses has now
been established and vouchers Will
be issued for county road q work
against this fund. This fund can be
used only for the maintenance OF
the III miles of county roads. The
county attorney will not pass on
road bills from now on until they
have been passed by the county en-
gineer, which means that such bills
will not be paid without the con-
sent of the engineer. About $4,000
n,os maid In auto license taxes this
year.
The powers which the county en-
gineer shall exercise were definitely
worked out this afternoon. The COM
missioners and the county engineer
inspected the Kyle bridge this
morning.

]. ID. WILSON BROUGHT FIRST
LOAD OF NEW CORN TO TOWN

]. D. Wilson, who lives a mile
south of Abilene, brought in the
first load Of new corn late yesterday
afternoon. All the ears were well de-
veloped and the kernels were plump
and in very nice rows. 1t was OF the
Bloody Butcher variety, a very dark
red, and an early corn. Mr.. Wilson
says the corn is making 80 bushels
to the acre which is a very heavy
Weld for Dickinson county. He
brought a freak ear to this office,
the cob of which is the shape OF
mittened hand, the hand and thumb
being very distinctly outlined. Mr.
Wilson says this is sign of a cold
winter and the farmers should take
warning and get their mittens ready
for cold weather. So from the
start the Indications point to
bumper corn crop in this county.

There are perhaps more tricks
worked by and upon baserunners than
there are in any other department of
baseball. The $50 feet around that
diamond are filled with pitfalls and
handicaps that make Tipperary appear
close at hand by comparison. One
would think that it is simple matter
to run around the bases when making
a home run. But against a trained
and experienced team it is hard mat
ter
The batter drives ball to left cen
ter field. If he does not get away
from the plate quickly, the catcher
will spring in close to him, perhaps
drop his mask in front of him, and try
to hamper the start.
He swings out on to the edge of
the grass SO as to make a flying turn
at first base without losing much
ground. The first baseman remains
on the inside corner of the bag, or
near it, giving the runner just room
enough to pass, and trying to force
him to take wide turn.
The pitcher, If he is speedy enough,
will try to cut across in front of the
runner to throw him off his stride.
Both the second baseman and the
shortstop will hamper him at second,
one holding the bag to make him turn
wide, the other trying to force him
to make still wider turn.
The third baseman holds him and
makes him take the outside route and
a wide swing, and even then the short
stop will cut across il front of him
as he tears for home, pretending to
back up the plate, and after all that
