OUTSIDER LEADS IN STERLING
DIR. Christensen Heaviest Tax Payer
Many Other Big Ones

The town of Sterling has l25 persons
who pay over $50 in taxes. DR. Chris
tenson, the Lacrosse physician and
Guernsey farmer, leads with $500 Is.
There are others who go above $780,
Sterling state tax is sl4S 04 less than
last year, and 81, 420.2 5 lower than two
years ago. So the tax payers have
something substantial to thank Cover
nor Philip for in his earnest attempts
to conduct the states affairs on better
business principles and a more eeono
mical standard. There would have been
81, 900, 600 to 81, 900. 600 more cut out of
the state tax levy but for the opposi-
ton lead by Senator Bosshard (who is
now a progressive" candidate against
Governor Philipp) and others n the
Legislature.

No Further Clues Have Been
Found to Shed Light on
Burning Of Frank Poschl.
SHERIFF INTERVIEWS FAMILY
Wesley Bell Leans to Theory Of
Suicide After Recent Inves-
tigation.

After a days interviews with rela-
tivss and neighbors of the late Frank
Posohl. Deputy Sheriff Wesley Bell to-
day announced that no further clues
have been evolved to shed light on the
mysterious death OF the Forestville.
farmer, whose charred bones were
found in burned brush pile near his
home a week ago Sunday.
About the only bit of evidence dis
covered yesterday. after a days work.
were a few shoe nails In the ashes
where Poschl was burned. This adds
strength to the theory that F,oschl took
his own life. Hitherto the investi-
gators have been at n loss to explain
why no trace of Poschl's shoes were
found in the burned brush.
Deputy Sheriff Bell talked with men,
bers of the Sommer family, who live on
Poschl's little eight-acre farm. and
with the Gibbs family. where he sent
word he was going on August 20. when
he disappeared.
Mr.. Bell also talked with the colored
boy, Proctor, who testified at the in
quest that the brush had been dragged
to the scene OF the fire. and to neigh
bors OF Poschl.
All these interviews. the officer said,
we're fruitless. He now leans to the
suicide theory.
Sheriff Robert F. Gates was to have
visited Forestville this week to go over
inquiries. but his broken arm. sus-
tanned IN cranking an automobile yes
terday. will prevent hi sactivity In the
case for a time.
