JAMES BETT HAS
TAKEN A Wife

The many friends of James Bctt
were surprised yesterday when an
nOuncements of his wedding were re-
Ccivcd here. Few knew that he had
gone on trip. much less with the
idea of matrimony.
According to the announcements Mr..
Bett was married in Portland, Oregon,
January 18th, to Miss Chrissie Harper.
They will be at home to their friends
after the first of February.
Now comes pretty story of rO.
nance. Mr.. Bett visited his old home
in bonny Scotland recently where he
spent several months. There he met
his wife to be, and by coincidence she
with Mr.. Bctt She was with her
brother and sistCTin-law. On board
ship on the brlny deep our good Jim
became sentimental and he won the
heart of the bonny lassie. Letters
were exchanged. and finally hc went
to claim her as his own.
Mr. Bctt is one of EIkO cOunty's
most substantial farmers, and many n
friend he has to wish him and his
Scotch bluc-bcll most happy and
prosperous wCddcd life. The indie
pendent joins in fclicitations and
hopes that many little laddies and las.
sizes will come to crown their happi-
ness.

chairman Executive Committee
Taxpayers Association"
The oIlcr made by the taxpayers
association is bona tide one and Ger
lainly seems fair. There are always
two sides To a question. One Of the
most important matters that will come
before the present session of the leg
lSlaturc is whether the state tax COM
mission is TO continue in control uf The
revenue system of the state. Its ac.
ton in inflicting horizontal raises in
the valuation of taxable property in
Humboldt and other northern counties
i'll 1913 and in following this up in
1914 by making arbitrary raises in the
valuation of lands situated in the
same section of the State-raiscs
which i'll practically every ins tance
taxed the lands for far more than they
are actually wOrth-has naturally
been received with disravor by prop
"rtY owners of the section of the state
that for some unknown reason has
been singled out for attack by the
tan commission.
The action OF the tax commission
has seemingly met with the approval
of the state administration and has
been praised and glorilicd by certain
western and southern Nevada news.
papers, the citizens who have protest
cd against being ovcrtaNcd have been
accused of being tax dodgers and mis-.
statements have been made in regard
to land sales and valuations in this
part of the state. in an evident effort
to give members of the legislature
the impression that the tax commits
sion has not acted unfairly toward
this section of the state. Under the
circumstances the legislature, i'm fair
ness and justice to this part of the
state, should give the other side a
hearing on this tax question and ac-
cept the invitation to send a commit
tee to this section of the state and in
vestigate the matter of valuations.
The legislature has heard and will
probably continue to hear the tax
commissions side of the case. II
would be but common justice for il
to hear the other side before making
a decision.--Humboldt Star

TWICE HAS
DUAL PERSONALITY
Duplicates Strange Disappear.
ance of Dozen Years Ago
and Tries to Be Farmland.

WHITE WATER. Wis. June 6.-The
strange case Of Charles Williams is like
ly to become a cause for celebration
among medical men. for It Is one of
the clearest cases Of dual identity on
record
4ne two personalities are Charles Will
liams, lawyer. justice, man of culture
and personality, and the same man as a
farm laborer, ignorant and lacking in
ambition.
The doctors are now bringing Will
liams back from Merriville, Ind. where
he was found yesterday after he had
been missing for three days. and are
working. with every reason to expect
success, to transform him once again to
his true identity, that OF the White
Water court commissioner.
Williams was. while in college, O. ia
nous baseball pitcher, but in 1895. Just
after mis- graduation from the State
University. disappeared while en- route
to Chicago to begin his life work as a
lawyer 1t was seven years before he
was found, and he was then a farm la
borer near Merriville, Ind.
Ile came back to White Water and all
went well for dozen years. Last week
Williams began TO complain of head
aches and on Tuesday started fol
GAINESVILLE on some 1ega business. He
disappeared exactly as he had twenty
years ago. And the strange display OF
his uual personality was that he imme.
diately went to Merriville. Ind, and
tried to get work at the same farm
where he was found after his first dis.
appearance.
1t took him three days to reach there
anu as soon as he arrived word was
sent back to his home here and rela
tives went after him.

GERMANS DRIVEN
CLOSER T0LENS
French Hold Two.thirds of VII
Iage Of NeuviIIe--Take Rows
Of Trenches. 4

PARIS, June g. Heavy attacks
against the German positions north Of
Arras have advanced the French lines
In the direction of Lens over a two
mile front.
An official communique from the war
office reports that the French now hold
two-thirds of the village of Neuville.
Several houses and stone buildings,
tenaciously held by the Germans Tor
several weeks, were stormed and cap
tured while French artillery swept the
road over which the Germans were at
tempting to bring up re-enforcements.
The gains at Neuville make 1t prob
able that the entire village shortly will
be In the hands of the French. Between
Melville and souches the French have
captured several rows of German
trenches in the last week of fighting,
connecting the newly gained ground at
Melville with the French position In the
enemy.
The war office reports no cessation of
the violent bombardment along the en-
tire battle frcnt north of Arras. The
shell fire Is particularly heavy in the
Labyrinth" region. southeast of Neu-
Vile. and around Notre Dame de
Lorette.
