RETURNED MISSIONARY
TELLS SORROWFUL TALE
MEXICAN PAPER DOLLAR
WORTH 2 CENTS GOLD.

FL Paso, Tex, Oct. ia Mex
lean protestant missionary, who
returned today from a visit to
central Mexico, declared that not
wilhstanding the sufferings Of
the poems in the district Villa is
now preying on, they rise to a
man in Villas behalf should the
American punitive expedition at
tempt to operate south of its
present base.
The missionary submitted this
report to his superiors. The re-
port explained the poems fear and
hate of Villa but they have been
taught to believe the Americans
would so after Villa only with
the masked purpose of Selling
and annexing the country.
' In. Zacatecas the missionary.
who is also physician, declared
in his report, he examined men
living in the street as if drunk,
finding them dying of starvation
Women, lacking strength to
speak, implored him with their
eyes for aims. Children were
terribly emaciated.
Other Mexicans arriving at the
border confirm the missionary s
statements as TO the decline in
value of Carranza money. Water
sellers at the railway stations
charge a paper dollar for a jar OF
wafer. No wafer is supplied or
the cars. The paper dollar is
now down to 2 cents in gold.

Stanley Man. s
Novel Suicide
Used Peculiar Swedish Cattle,
killing Instrument to Take
His Life.

Etanley Oct. 9.-Ernest Gus
tafson. about 25 years of age,
committed suicide by shooting at
the Gust Larson farm south OF
Stanley. The deceased came over
from Sweden about two years
ago and had worked as a farm
iaborer for MIR. Larson since early
spring. Not a great deal is known
of his antecedents but he seemed
man of thrift, having a sum of
money on deposit in one of the
local banks.
He was of a retiring and melan-
choly disposition and it is believ-
ed that brooding over fancied
wrongs led TO his act of self de-
struc!ion.
Deceased was a butcher by
trade i'll Sweden and apparently
made use of Swedish device
known as a farmarter in accom-.
plishing his purpose. This instru-
ment is used in killing cattle and
consists of a steel tube about S
inhes long, flaring at one end,
1aring at one end, with 80 cal.
ibre bore through the center and
a firing device at the other end

EN- mallet. Deceased placed this
deadly certain instrument over
his heart and tapped the pin
Death was instantaneous.

supporters.
When Seaman Smith was ell
ected he realized that the people
were sick and tired of factions,
iaciional fights and the rule of
political bosses who were con-
tinually stirring up strife and ar
raging the people against each
other for the benefit of the agi-
talors and bosses. That they
were tired of seeing the officers
using their official power. which
the voters gave them. to perse-
cute their opponents on trumped-
up and ridiculous charges at the
expense of the taxpayers. And he
believed one boss to be about as
bad as another. He Immediately
let il be known that he would at
tend to the business of the Sher-
ilf's Office without the assistance
of any political boss. And that
he would treat everybody alike
regardless of bosses or factions.
This policy, which he has strictly,
followed, has won for him the
approval of the people and the
support of many of his former.
political enemies. A vote for
Seaman Smith is vote against;
bossism and factional fights and
a vote for peace and harmony in:

SLOPE COUNTY TAXES
WILL BE HIGH

Slope County News: A short
time ago the News stated that the
taxes in Slope county would be
considerable lower because of the
action of the state board of equa-
lization in making a 10 per cent
reduction on real estate and other
valuations. However, in spite Of
this reduction, you are not likely
TO be startled by the reduction in
the amount you will have to pay
The assessors this year even un-
der the much abused Jorgenson
schedule returned the valuation
of the county about ore million
dollars less than last year. The
total valuation of Slope county
this year is S2,597,219 as against
more than three million dollars
last year.
And now to raise the amount
of money necessary to run the
county for the next year the total
levy has been fixed at 2S.3 mills
as against 22.6 mills last year.
The limit has been levied on
four of the county funds, as fol-
lows:
General fund 8 mills
Road fund 5 mills
Bridge fund 4 mills
Emergency fund 2 mills
The other funds are as follows:
Sinking fund ~ mills
Seed grain 1.6 mills
Co. tuition fund 9 mills
The sum of each of these funds
added together makes 1873 mills
for the county and state funds
Add this TO your township and
school district levy and figure
what your taxes will be.

AUTO RACE MEET
A BIG SUCCESS

The auto races at the RoGeo track
yesterday Afternoon were a big success,
and Messrs, Snelson and Mcnamara
are to be cOmplimented for pulling off
q splendid afternoon of sport.
The crowd was not as large. as IL
should have been, at least there were
not as many in the grand stand as the
occasion justified. a large crowd took
advantage of the fact that they could
see the races over the south wall. and
hundred or more perched themselves
on the fence. TO say the least this
was unsportsman like, as the races
were not held as a money-makins
scheme, but TO furnish an afternoon of
good amusement. All OF the money
went to the racers and for expenses,
and as there was never any hope for
any one of the racers To make enough
10 pay expenses. everyone who wanted
TO see the fun should have been will
ing to pay admission fec.
There were five entries in the first
race, which was a twenty-five mile
| heat. George Moody in his stripped
Chevrolet. and Nick Simonsen's Willis
Knight with Bell at the wheel, were
the fayorltes In the betting. There
were several bets, however, ranging as
high as one hundred dollars. that the
| Ford driven by Gova would beat the
Chevrolet. The other cars entered
were Taber's Overland, with Davis at
the wheel; Taylor's Stutz. with Jimmy
Hayes at the wheel, and Doyle's Pope
Hartford. with Al Reed as the pilot
Something went wrong with the
Stutz car on the way to the track. and
1t never left the pit. This was disap
polntmcnt to the crowd, as this cal
and driver won the big event at Rodec
time.
