BLoopHouNDs TRAIL
the ESCAPED CONNECTS
Posse Closing In on Escaped Pris'
oners Near Bismarck Il

Bismarck, N. D., April 5.-Pos-
ses are still searching the woods
about thirty miles south of here
where four of the convicts who
escaped from the penitentiary
Wednesday night were seen Sat-
urday evening.
The prison bloodhounds and
supplies enough to last the
searchers for several days were
sent out. Reports come from that
vicinity that a farm house was
broken into during the absence Of
the owners and robbed of clothing
and provisions. 1t is thought the
convicts may be armed as there
are a number of wood choppers
shacks in the woods in that vicin-
ity and arms of some kind are
kept in them.

various minor damages, in all
totaling about 5000.
Carpenters, plumbers, plaster

were Immediately summoned and
the damage repaired before the
bride and groom arrived the next
morning. A new range was also
installed.
1t was fortunate that no one
was in the room at the time, for
pieces flew in all directions, and
somebody would have been, no
doubt, badly injured if not killed.

Four Caught

Bismarck, April 5.-Four of the
six prisoners who escaped from
the penitentiary last Wednesday
were captured at point fifty-six
miles south of here on the Miss
ouri river bottoms. The men put
put up no fight when four EN-
mons county farmers armed with
rifles, shotguns and revolvers
came upon them just as they
awoke from few hours sleep
taken beside country school
house. The fugitives refused to
talk of their experiences during
the three days and four nights
they had been hunted, except that
they had left the woods because
lit got too hot for us in there"
1t is known, however, that all
secured a change Of clothes at a
farm house, one getting a new
brown suit and others fitting
themselves out with overalls and
jumpers. They have been able to
get plenty to eat, even buying
provisions at some houses. They
were in neighborhood inhabited
exclusively by Russians, very few
Of whom could read English.
No definite clues have been OBJ
tanned as to the whereabouts of
the two other fugitives. One re-
port that they were in the Turtle
mountains, headed for the Cana
dian line was run down and found
to be without foundation. An 9TH
er rumor that they escaped to the
west is now being followed.
The four men taken.were Frank
Irwin, John Wilson, Jack. Will.
liams and George Young. Irwin
was serving ten years for robbery
in Bottineau county when he es-.
capped. Wilson was sentenced to
two years for robbery in the third

The Letter OF instruction

the assessors:
The Letter Of instruction
The laws Of the state provide
that all property shall be assess
ed. except public property and
property used exclusively for re-
ligious, educational, charitable or
cemetery purposes, and the per-
sonal property Of each individual
to the amount Of fifty dollars.
This does not mean a portion Of
such property, but all of it; it
means every kind of property
which has money value: and by
money value the law does not
mean what it would bring at n
forced sale at public auction, but
what the average man desirin"
tn OWN it would give in money for
the property for its ordinary use.
Property as defined by the laws
Of this state includes mortgages,
both real and chattel, book ac-
counts, notes. stocks, bonds, an
nuities. money and every intang-
lble things having a. money value.
All OF this property must be as
: >essed by you the same as other
property except the money, cred
its. stocks and bonds of banks,
bankers or brokers which are as
sessed under the law providing
for the assessment Of banks.
The laws of the state also
provide that all property shall be
assessed at it's full value. How
ever. custom often nullifies laws.
This law has been ignored since
statehood. AS a result tax levies
are based upon the present val
uations. To attempt to assess al
full value would mean an increase
in the burden of taxation and in
certain public revenues which
would invite extravaganza and
work hardship on the people OF
the state. For this reason we be-
lieve that it would be to the best
interests Of all concerned to as
sess the property Of the state al
some percentage of it's actual
value.
while some property in the
state is assessed above and much
of it below twenty-five per cent OF
its actual value, we believe that
| it would be fair ratio to adopt.
All property should first be ap-
praised at its actual value, then
twenty-five per cent taken for as
sessment purposes. This per-
centage should apply to all prop
erty.
Surplus Exempt
THE attorney general Of the
state has held that portion OF
Section 2tl5 of the compiled laws
of 1913, which provides that an
amount of the surplus reserve
fund and undivided profits OF
banks equal to five per cent OF
their loans and discounts shall
be exempt from taxation, is in
conflict with the state institution
and is null and void. AS the attor-
ney general Of the state is the su-
preme adviser of public officials
until the courts have decided the
matter, it is your duty to disre-
gard this exemption and allow
banks only the real estate deduc-
tons set forth, in Section 21i5.
Article 4 of the amendments
to the state constitution provides
that any portion of the roadway
of any railroad which is not used
exclusively for railroad purposes
is assessable as other real estate
This means that all business sites

The Laws Affected

The following laws are on these
petitions: The act appropriating
s6,66G TO pay the deficit in the
state examiners office for 1914,
and the one appropriating s24.637
to cover the deficit Of the public
printing account: that appropri-
ating s29,230 to cover the deficit
in maintenance fund of the CAPT.
tai. The board Of regents act.
Law repeating the mill tax levy
for terminal rates to be charged
by public utility corporations un-
der the control of the board of
railroad commissioners.
Emergency Boards Powers
That clause of the law limiting
the powers of the emergency
board which validates and makes
legal all transfers or additions to
the appropriations made prior to
July 1, 1915, is also on these pc
titions. This directly affects the
present litigation pending over
the acts Of the board Of control at
the insane asylum at jamestown.
So is the Hughes law appropriate
ing $4,000 for the deficiency at
the penitentiary: Bronsons law
limiting the time for commencing
suit under mechanic lien law;
Walls law appropriating $4,000 to
continue the work Of the public
accountants on the states books
for the next biennial; the board of
immigration law; the law increas-
ing term Of office board of con-
troll from two years to six. Twelve
laws in all.
Hellstrom and his co-workers
declare that practically all laws
passed will be ultimately referred
to the people. The Oil inspection
law also is to be referred, it is
said,

Frank Crawford. an employe Of the
Fry Planning Mill, South H street. was
painfully injured at the mill yester-
day when he fell through an elevator

killed is regarded remarkable.
Crawford was standing at the top of a

floor and close to the elevator shaft.
Just how he happened to fall off the
ladder is not known. When he lost
his balance his body shot down the
open shaft and he fell violently to the
first story floor, where he was picked
up in an unconscious condition. Sew
eral of his ribs were broken. 1t is not
believed he sustained internal injuries.
Crawford is confined to his home on
